On Tuesday, 29 June 2021, the AIDS Foundation Chicago, along with community sponsors AVAC, Black AIDS Institute, Desmond Tutu Health Foundation and SisterLove, Inc., held a webinar featuring global HIV prevention research experts coupled with spoken word artistry and a smokin’ DJ (yes, a DJ!). The webinar provided a scientific update on the expansive HIV prevention research pipeline, including a wide array of molecules and modalities as well as multi-purpose technologies, from Desmond Tutu Health Foundation’s Dr. Linda-Gail Bekker. Seasoned community advocates Dazon Dixon Diallo of SisterLove (Atlanta, Johannesburg) and Black AIDS Institute’s Rob Newells (Atlanta) gave their perspectives on the pipeline with a focus on Black cisgender and transgender women and Black gay, same gender loving, and bisexual men.
