AIDS is an injustice because today we have tools for prevention, testing & treatement. But last year we had 1.5 million people were newly infected with HIV, and AIDS took 650,000 lives. When you peel that and see who is dying, you see that #inequalites are at the root. #Equalize
In 🇺🇸 Black people are 8.5x more likely to be infected with HIV than white people. Black gay men in US face 1 in 2 risk of contracting HIV across their lifetime. This is a higher risk than the average in 🇺🇬 and almost as high as in hot spot countries like 🇿🇦.

Countries w/highest HIV rates are struggling to pay debt, squeezing out expenditures on health & education. In the midst of COVID, when rich countries put $17TR into recovery, dev'ing countries were continuing to make debt repayments 4X their health budgets. This is an injustice!
