This final episode in the Aging with HIV: Navigating the Future podcast series focuses on the distinct challenges faced by Black Americans aging with HIV, and the structural barriers disproportionately impacting their ability to access quality care and treatment. Joining ASA’s Equity Strategy Director Patrice Dickerson to discuss aging at the intersection of Blackness and HIV and how this intersectionality of identities involves navigating a complex landscape of health disparities, social inequities, and unique psychosocial challenges, are Douglas M. Brooks, Raymond A. Jetson and Linda H Scruggs. They also will touch on why their work as advocates is so crucial in bridging existing gaps and how cross-sector collaboration is so critical in advancing health equity for the Black community, especially for Black older adults living with HIV.
