Event Description: |
This press conference/panel discussion focusing on the alarming rise in HIV infections among young A&PI women. Recent analysis of CDC data indicates A&PIs have the highest rate of increase in new HIV infections in the nation--the only statistically significant increase among any racial or ethnic group. Despite this, the misconception that A&PIs are not at risk, or at "low risk" for HIV infection persists--even among health care providers who discourage A&PIs from getting tested. A&PIs are the least likely ethnic group to get tested; over two-thirds of A&PIs have never taken an HIV test. HIV affects A&PI women as well, whose HIV incidence rate is actually higher than that of A&PI men. A number of factors contribute to the rise in HIV infections among women, including a lack of targeted HIV prevention information for women, unequal power dynamics in sexual relationships, and the fact that a woman's HIV risk is often indirect. A woman's HIV risk is her partner's HIV risk and 86% of A&PI women living with HIV got it through heterosexual sex. The press conference will feature Dr. Hyeouk Chris Hahm, a leading researcher on A&PI women's health from Boston University; Naina Khanna, a member of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS; and Jaimie Callahan, an HIV community advocate from Gregory House Programs in Honolulu, HI. Naina and Jaimie will share their personal stories as A&PI women living with HIV. The panel will be moderated by Priyanka Singha, the 2009-2010 Miss India USA and co-host of the popular Sony Entertainment Television talk show, Andaaz. You can watch the live video stream for the event at: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/banyan-tree-projectSubmit your questions to our panelists during the event!
