PxPulse: The Advocacy Chronicles with Danielle Campbell from PrEP in Black America

In this episode of the Advocacy Chronicles, we’re putting the spotlight on the US, on the dismal statistics on access to PrEP in Black communities, on the state of HIV prevention among Black Americans overall, and the work of one advocacy group— PrEP in Black America (PIBA). Danielle Campbell is one of the founders of PIBA and a long-time advocate for HIV prevention and health equity. She joins the Advocacy Chronicles to talk about PIBA’s call to action for an HIV research agenda that prioritizes the needs of Black communities. And we also explore the tactics that have led this group to quickly rise as a powerhouse, bringing together communities and government to find solutions that improve the US HIV response.

Danielle is a member of the research faculty at the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science and a member of the community scientific subcommittee for a global HIV research network. She is an experienced clinical research manager who integrates principles of health equity and implementation science into biobehavioral research into HIV treatment, prevention and cure research and she is a past Chair of the HIV/AIDS Section of American Public Health Association (APHA) and has served as Chair of the Science Board and Co-Chair of the Joint Policy Committee.
