When the current President’s Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS was sworn in in August, it was the largest group of HIV advisers since former President Trump fired the entire membership in June 2017 -- and the most diverse in the group's history.
But the plan launched without benefit of an advisory board made up of members who could sell it in their communities or inform the approaches. Perhaps as a result, former CDC Director Robert Redfield, MD, one of the architects of the plan, wasat the United States Conference on AIDS 2019 by more than 50 protesters living with HIV who chanted, “You can’t end this without us.”
“It starts with the importance of listening to community,” he says. And as a same-gender-loving Black man whose best friend was diagnosed with HIV while the pair were in college, the need for community involvement isn’t a luxury, it’s critical to the success of any treatment or prevention program. But she didn’t come up with the recommendations in the plan, which include funding the fight against HIV in Black communities the way the government has traditionally funded HIV programs and services in white gay communities: by funding groups that already work in the community to deliver health care and services.
