If we want to end the US HIV epidemic, we must end the epidemic among Black MSM. To do that research about gay and bisexual men must not only include Black MSM, Black MSM's realities must be central not peripheral to the study's design. Ramon Sahib Johnson reports.

Our friends at AIDS.gov tell us about the CDC's new resources to help prevent health care-associated viral hepatitis. New research shows that mass media campaigns can effectively promote condom use and HIV prevention around the world. As we near open-enrollment season, Kaiser Health News gives us a primer on the difference between HMOs, PPOs and EPOs.

Finally, we need you to become a part of history. There are only 7 days left to complete the US HIV/AIDS Workforce survey. Please take 15 minutes to go here to help us end the epidemic.

Yours in the struggle,

Phill
