Native HIV...

 

I don't find many articles on HIV among the Native American Peoples.   When I do I try to post about the piece.   This article is about the disparities among the various groups of Natives in America; by tribe, education & other demographics.  

Lee’s work is critical based on Native American health disparities that stem from historical & present-day colonization, marginalization & discrimination against Indigenous communities. Native Americans represent only 1% of the national HIV and AIDS cases, yet they rank 1/3 in new HIV diagnoses, following African American & Hispanic populations.

It was a good read & her efforts should be worth  following.  Give it a read.  Take care.
