UTHSC Infectious Diseases

Today marks National Black HIV AIDS Awareness Day. It was designated in part to honor the work of the late HIV activist and Ohio native Reggie Williams. It is also designated to highlight the gap created between the care African Americans receive compared to European Americans.
