Summary
HIV isn’t over — it’s just been ignored. Black women account for a disproportionate number of new cases, the South is ground zero, and the stigma is still killing us. Roland Martin, Dr. Toyin Nwafor, Raheem DeVaughn, and frontline organizers break the silence on a public health crisis America refuses to face.
In response to this staggering trend, Gilead Sciences has launched the Setting the P.A.C.E. initiative. The Prevention, Arts and Advocacy, Community, and Education program is a three-year, $12.6 million commitment aimed at expanding HIV prevention efforts in underserved communities.
Dr. Toyin Nwafor, Executive Director of Gilead U.S. HIV Medical Affairs, and Raheem DeVaughn, an award-winning musician and partner in the Gilead Setting the P.A.C.E. initiative.
🔥 Undiagnosed. Untreated. Unheard.
🔥 Black women make up 53% of new HIV cases among women — but get the least attention
🔥 “Stigma is still killing us.” — Dr. Toyin Nwafor
🔥 The South is ground zero for new HIV diagnoses — and it’s not getting better
🔥 Raheem DeVaughn joins to amplify awareness, justice, and real community healing
