Against the odds: transgender, black and HIV-positive

Description

HIV and AIDS affect every segment of American society, but they affect certain populations disproportionately. About half of those living with HIV in the United States are African-American. About a quarter are older than 50. And a study in the journal "AIDS and Behavior" found 28 percent of male-to-female transgender people are infected. Josh Lederman has the story of one woman who fits all three categories.
