Summary

Hey lady! This week, Dr. Dom and Terri welcome Dr. Maisha Standifer, Director of Population Health, The Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine to offer fresh information about HIV, AIDS, the trends she’s seeing in sexually transmitted disease infection rates and what Black women need to know about keeping themselves safe and healthy.

Dr. Standifer is a powerhouse of a woman and offers grounded perspective on the real issues that the Black community face in regards to HIV transmission and AIDS. The truth of the matter is that despite HIV/AIDS being known in the community for more than 40 years the stigma has transferred from white gay men to Black women and so much of that is because of a lack of information.

In fact, 50 percent of new HIV cases are Black women. Dr. Standifer doesn’t sugarcoat the facts about the fact if you are sexually active you are HIV possible. Armed with that knowledge, she offers solutions for prevention, resources for care should you contract the infection, and hope for a future where HIV and AIDS is eradicated from the community.

Tune into a powerful conversation chock full of valuable information. This is your one precious life, lady, treat it with the best care!

Quote of the Day:
“Understand others and their experiences as you talk and interact with them.”
