On National HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, the Black AIDS Institute, the HIV Prevention Trials Network and the Department of Health and Human Services partnered with Black Treatment Advocate Networks all around the country to offer PrEP education to Black communities. We provide a wrap-up.

We run the fifth in a series of stories about HIV stigma and criminalization, courtesy of ProPublica. Our friends at ColorLines share a behind-the-scenes report on the support network that surrounded Michael Samuel, the University of Missouri senior who is likely to become the nation's first openly gay football player, as he came out. We run a piece for the newly insured on what they need to know about their new plans. And we look at how ActionAIDS in Philadelphia uses new media to support their effort to create a AIDS-free generation.

Yours in the struggle,

Phill
