In This Issue

We continue our series on the Fellows of the African American HIV University's Science and Treatment College. Young, afraid of his sexual orientation and HIV status being discovered, and in danger of falling through the cracks. We interview a newly diagnosed, Black gay male, college student in a Southern state about the challenges he faced getting linked to care and treatment—precisely the type of person that needs the Affordable Care Act if we are to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Has your health insurance company cancelled your policy because it doesn't comply with the provisions set forth under the Affordable Care Act? Our friends at Kaiser Health News describe the dilemma, President Obama's response, and what may happen next. A new study of gay and bisexual men in New York City shows the link between STIs and HIV—in this case rectal chlamydia and gonorrhea. And are you #FacingAIDS? Many young people are. We share a video in which they tell us how.

Yours in the struggle,

Phill
