Racial and Ethnic Minorities and Health Equity

Minorities in the US continue to face significant challenges in accessing care.

> Our Work > Health Equity > Racial and Ethnic Minorities and Health Equity

Whether due to stigma, institutionalized racism, or misconceptions, communities of color tend to face many more obstacles in accessing comprehensive and affordable care than their white counterparts. Black and Latino MSM bear the greatest burden of all MSM, and black women are at a higher risk for contracting HIV than white women. Black, Latino, and Native populations are at a higher risk for high disease despite national efforts attempting to address these disparities.
