We publish the first of a three-part series on how, contrary to the historical public health message, HIV does in fact discriminate. Linda Villarosa reports.

Our friends at AIDS.gov have written a round-up of some of the important presentations at the International AIDS Conference about HIV/Hep C coinfection. Venton Jones of the National Black Justice Coalition challenges us to think about what we are doing to help Black MSM and people living in the South. A California surgeon who had refused to treat PLWHA seems to have changed his perspective—perhaps because he lost federal funding from HHS. AIDS.gov reports.

And as we near enrollment season for the Affordable Care Act, we look at some challenges we should anticipate as a result of the Act's automatic insurance renewal feature.

Yours in the struggle,

Phill
