LGBTQ people know how to survive during a pandemic

The LGBTQ community was uniquely prepared for the Covid-19 pandemic after being impacted by HIV over the last 40 years.

In this installment of the Real People, Real Voices series, Jai Rodriguez is joined by two heroes who were on the frontlines of both fights. Morris Singletary and Phill Wilson talk to us about founding organizations that strive to end the HIV and AIDS epidemic, and what lessons can be applied to Covid-19.

To learn more about their stories, watch the video below and visit Pozitive2Positive and The Black AIDS Institute.
