Prevention
Challenges
Stigma, fear, discrimi-
nation, and homophobia
may place many African
Americans at higher risk
for HIV. Women don’t
be afraid to be open and
honest with your partner.
Demand that they also
get tested. Knowledge is
power.
How to Stay in the Know
Check with your primary care doctor for a full
physical. If you don’t have a PCP, then check
with your local health department because they
provide testing.
