Debbie Allen HIV advocacy for Black women
Overview
Debbie Allen is advocating for increased community support networks for Black women facing HIV, a demographic with diagnosis rates 12 times higher than White women. Her advocacy is informed by her professional experiences during the epidemic in her early career.
Allen is participating in Merck’s ‘Your Hive of Whole Health’ campaign, which promotes building support networks involving providers, family, and peers to address mental, spiritual, and emotional health in addition to medical treatment. While antiretroviral treatments have made HIV a manageable condition, Allen emphasizes that community connection remains vital. In the United States, more than half of those diagnosed with HIV are now aged 50 or older.
