  At Risk: AIDS in the Black Community

  Account of the National Conference on AIDS in the Black Community, held in Washington, DC on July 18, 1986. Includes statistics about the disproportionate impact of HIV and AIDS on African Americans, as well as the role of IV drug use and heterosexual transmission in the AIDS epidemic within black communities. Sessions at the conference stressed the need for culturally competent AIDS education for black communities, the lack of representation in gay and black media outlets of the epidemic among African Americans, and the need for black churches to respond to the disease.
