This Sunday is the 33rd annual @AIDSWalkPhilly—here's a #thread about a different kind of #AIDS walk in #Philadelphia—the city's first candlelight AIDS vigil, in 1986.

#twitterstorians #everythinghasahistory

kywnewsradio.radio.com/articles/news/…
@AIDSWalkPhilly The first Candlelight Walk for #AIDS in #Philadelphia took place on September 25, 1986. Earlier that month, the Department of Public Health reported 479 cases of AIDS in the Philadelphia area, and 298 had died.

See video of the walk:

@AIDSWalkPhilly Of reported cases, 50% were African American—ten points higher than their share of the total #Philadelphia population. But #AIDS agencies were predominantly white, and rooted in the #Gayborhood, which was itself seen as a mostly white space.

Today is National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day; many of the same factors driving #HIV in Black communities are driving it in Latinx communities as well.

“The way to move forward is to really tackle and address the structural issues.” — @latinoactivist

hrc.org/blog/advocates…
@latinoactivist The fights against #AIDS in Black and Latino communities have also been historically linked. In #Philadelphia, Programa Esfurezo was modeled on @bebashi, one of the country’s first Black AIDS service orgs.
@latinoactivist @bebashi In this clip, @bebashi founder Rashidah Abdul Khabeer (formerly Hassan) talks about the links between her group and others, such as @Congreso1977

.@BronxInk highlights how barber shops and churches are part of the fight against #HIV/#AIDS in the Bronx, where HIV mortality rates are highest among the five boroughs and residents are disproportionately Black and Latino.

bronxink.org/2019/10/13/287…
@BronxInk Beauty salons and barber shops have been part of the fight against AIDS in Black America since the 1980s. South Carolina salon owner DiAna DiAna began doing AIDS education with her friend @GaddistDr in 1986.

forgetthebox.net/diana-diana-ta…
@BronxInk @GaddistDr More recently, @AIDSAlabama started #BeautyinKnowing to train stylists to serve as AIDS educators—barbers and stylists are trusted by clients, and salons and barber shops are places where frank conversations about sexual health can take place.

Since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, more than 70 million people have acquired the infection, and about 35 million people have died.
Today, around 37 million worldwide live with #HIV, of whom 22 million are on treatment ⬇️ bit.ly/2QwO8HW
The #HIV virus 🦠 was first isolated by Dr Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Dr Luc Montagnier in 1983 at the @institutpasteur.

➡️ bit.ly/2QwO8HW
At the beginning of the 1980s, before #HIV had been identified as the cause of AIDS, the infection was thought to only affect specific groups, such as gay men in developed countries and people who inject drugs

1/thread on #MaternalMortality

@harvardmed Professor Dr. Neel Shah to @HarvardHealth:

American #women today are 50% MORE likely to die in childbirth than our mothers were & “the risk is consistently 3 to 4 times higher for black women than white women...”health.harvard.edu/blog/a-soaring…
2/x- The disturbing racial disparities in America’s #MaternalHealth outcomes mirror racial inequality among our nation’s infant mortality rates.

The @CDCgov found the infant mortality rate for black babies in our nation is TWICE that of white babies. ajc.com/news/national/…
3/x- Per @BrookingsInst:
“this is not just a poverty story. Babies born to well educated, middle-class black mothers are more likely to die before their first birthday than babies born to poor white mothers with less than a high school education”

I am a Patent Holder, and I also know - it is a fact - - that NO Patent can be given for anything naturally developed in nature.

Which means it was developed in a laboratory & released on to the public in Haiti first. Than in San Francisco and New York. In fact the CDC has admitted it. #RedPill #WalkAway #GreatAwakening #FollowTheWhiteRabbit #Storm #RestoreJustice
