'Personal stories also remind us that we are not alone. With World AIDS Day on December 1, I'm thinking of those affected by the stigma that HIV/AIDS carries. This stigma can leave those touched by it feeling fearful and alienated. You can help change that.
If your life has been impacted by HIV/AIDS, I'm calling on you to speak up. How? Tell us about your personal experiences with HIV/AIDS and your views on care and treatment. The HHS Office on Women's Health wants to feature your story during the 10th observance of National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day on March 10, 2015. If you or someone you love is living with HIV/AIDS, or you work with women and girls living with the disease, we want to hear from you.'

It's only a problem if it adversely affects females
Usually white ones but here at the CDC site, it says even as the HIV infection rate has gone down among black females, it's noted to "disproportionately affect" them. And I suppose it doesn't do likewise for black men? Just look at the chart. I suppose the two tallest columns representing white and black men are invisible to everyone who's drunk the Kool-Aid.
Remember, unless everyone is contracting horrible wasting diseases at the same rate in proportion to their gender, ethnicity, nation of origin, height, weight, and preference of pets, it's proof of systemic bias in the healthcare system. Well, only if those disproportionately affected are female. THEN it matters.
