Many people with HIV also have hepatitis. Here, HIV specialist Dr. Teresa Mack, an associate medical director at New York City's St. Luke's-Roosevelt hospital, educates readers about how to manage an HIV/hepatitis co-infection.

We also run ColorLines.com's Q&A with Richard Wolitski, a deputy director in the CDC’s HIV/AIDS Prevention Division, about the CDC's concern regarding the increase in new HIV infections among young Black gay and bisexual men, as well as its new Testing Makes Us Stronger HIV-testing campaign.

As we continue to mark the 30^th anniversary of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, we share a video of SisterLove founder and Daizon Dixon Diallo, MPH, discussing the plight of women of color in the HIV epidemic as well as her own story, courtesy of AIDS.gov.

Plus, what the deficit reduction "super-committee" may mean for Medicare recipients; possible policy alternatives in the event that the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate gets overturned by the Supreme Court; updates on National HIV/AIDS Strategy Implementation dialogues, and more.

Yours in the struggle,
