Disproporitionately Burdened

African Americans are disproportionately burdened by HIV and AIDS. According to the Oklahoma State Department of Health, Blacks in Oklahoma had the highest rate of newly diagnosed HIV cases in 2020 (28.2 cases per 100,000 population) among all the racial and ethnic groups in Oklahoma (OSDH, 2020). THRIVE is Guiding Right’s program to address this health disparity.

Black Females

Black females experienced a 24% increase in HIV rates in 2017 (OSDH, 2017)

HIV and Comorbidities

The underlying comorbid conditions that often accompany HIV places an increased pressure to assure that individuals with HIV receive needed medical care and treatment.
