World AIDS Day
TONIA HINES
"Health Care Access in Communities of Color"

AIDS is the leading cause of death for black women between the ages of 21
and 34 in Massachusetts. One time thought as a white gay men's disease,
HIV/AIDS is disproportionately affecting people of color while services
continue to be directed toward white communities. December 1st is a reminder
of the need to talk about those most impacted by HIV/AIDS.

Tonia Hines is affiliated with Healing Our Land, and has been involved in
the struggle against HIV/AIDS for over ten years. Ms. Hines will discuss the
barriers to health care and the extreme disparities that inhibit black women
from accessing the services needed.
