The Cost of Care: HIV Treatment Access and the Policy Decisions Behind It
What happens when thousands risk losing access to HIV medication and how communities respond? This episode breaks down the recent HIV medication access crisis in Florida and what it exposed about how fragile our systems really are. Even when access is restored, the damage, fear, disruption, and instability don’t just disappear.
And let’s be clear:
Black women and girls continue to carry a disproportionate burden in the HIV epidemic. When systems fail, they feel it first and hardest.
This conversation connects policy to real life and centers the voices that are too often left out.
Hosted by Dr. Pamela Payne-Foster.
Moderated by Dr. Ivy Turnbull (Chair, National Black Women's HIV/AIDS Network, Inc.)
Featuring Kamaria Laffrey (Co-Exectuvei Director for the SEO Project), and Janet Kitchen (Founder of Positively U, Inc., which provides programming to HIV-positive and as-risk individuals).
We’re talking about what happened, who it impacted, and what needs to change, not just temporarily, but for the long term.
Because HIV care is not optional. It’s essential.
