HIV and Mental Health (In recognition of Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day!!)
Tap into the dialogue around Mental Health and HIV.
Anyone can have mental health problems. Mental health conditions are common in the United States. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) (https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/mental-illness), in 2019, about one in five American adults experienced a mental health issue.
People with HIV are at high risk of some mental health conditions because of the stress associated with living with HIV. For example, people living with HIV are twice as likely to have depression as people who do not have HIV.
It is important to remember that mental health conditions are treatable and that people who have mental health problems can recover.
The following factors can increase the risk of mental health problems in anyone:
Major life changes, such as the death of a loved one or the loss of a job
Negative life experiences, such as abuse or trauma
Biological factors, such as genes or brain chemistry
A family history of mental health problems
In addition to these factors, the stress of having a serious medical illness or condition, like HIV, may also negatively affect a person's mental health. Situations that can contribute to mental health problems in people with HIV include:
Difficulty in telling others about an HIV diagnosis
Stigma (https://clinicalinfo.hiv.gov/en/glossary/stigma) and discrimination associated with HIV
Loss of social support and isolation
Difficulty in getting mental health services

The Black Community and HIV.... in recognition OF BLACK HIV/AIDS AWARENESS DAY (Testing, Access to Care, Stigma, Representation etc.)
Tune in as our Guest Speakers dialogue with local community members in reference to the black community engaging in testing, care and basic sexual health conversations:
Langston Jones (Prevention Specialist) - Vivent Health Care KC
Kia Price - MSW (Master of Social Work)
Black communities have made great progress in reducing HIV. Yet, issues such as racism, discrimination, and mistrust in the health care system may affect whether Black people seek or receive HIV prevention services. These issues may also reduce the likelihood of engaging in HIV treatment and care. To continue to reduce the burden of HIV and other health risks, people need adequate housing and transportation, employment, access to culturally competent health services that are free of stigma and discrimination, and more. cdc.gov

The 5 Memphis Police Officers who assaulted and murdered Tyre Nichols' (Open Forum)
**Please be advised this episode contains explicit content.
The former officers Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Justin Smith, Emmitt Martin and Desmond Mills Jr., have each been charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault, two charges of aggravated kidnapping, two charges of official misconduct and one charge of official oppression for their actions during the violent arrest of Tyre Nichols
According to studies, Blacks are 63 percent more likely to be stopped even though, as a whole, they drive 16 percent less. Taking into account less time on the road, blacks were about 95 percent more likely to be stopped. Blacks were 115 percent more likely than whites to be searched in a traffic stop (5.05 percent for blacks, 2.35 percent for whites).
According to the 2018 National Crime Victimization Survey, 70.3% of the violent incidents suffered by black victims were committed by black offenders.
Of the 6,000 homicide cases in 2015 where the FBI had known the ethnicity of the victim and the killer, 2,380 were black victims accosted by black killers. 2,574, on the other hand, were whites killed by whites.
This represents an 8% increase from 2014.
The proportion of black-on-black homicides to the number of black people killed was at 89.3% in 2015, the first time since the dawn of the 21st century that the rate fell below 90%.
Tune in and listen to an open dialogue from the community about how colorism, racism and many other factors play into black on black crimes.
What was the reason for the assault?
Why was it necessary?
Did the stop have anything to do with intercultural stigma?
How do white people view/feel the situation?
