Only 1 in 10 women living with HIV who qualify for menopausal hormone therapy have ever received it. As with many health disparities, Black women were less likely to receive hormone replacement therapy than their white peers. poz.com/article/clinic…
We hear too little, if at all, about the experiences of menopausal people living with HIV. I am honoured and thrilled that @susancolehaley is writing about her experience for the menopause anthology I am editing for @Unbound. Check it out and pledge! unbound.com/books/bloody-h…
"As seen w/other health disparities, while about half of white women had discussed menopause with a provider, this fell to 37% of Indigenous women & 36% of Black/African/Caribbean women.And Black women were 58% less likely than their white peers to use menopausal hormone therapy"
It is exactly when the once-whispered moves into the mainstream that it most matters who is speaking the once unsaid and who continues to be sidelined and silenced.
Too often when feminism takes that brave dive into the deep end of a taboo, it takes along just a select few: white,wealthy,cisgender,heterosexual,able-bodied women. #BloodyHell aims to expand Menopause Moment/Wave/"Movement" beyond just white & cis women unbound.com/books/bloody-h…
