#NYHAAD: HRC Foundation’s Director of HIV & Health Equity on the Work to End HIV
For HRC Foundation’s HIV and Health Equity Director J. Maurice McCants-Pearsall, community engagement is the foundation of the work to end HIV.
“We have to go out into the community and listen to what they have to say — and far too often LGBTQ people of color are left out of that equation,” McCants-Pearsall said. “We must make sure there are safe spaces for people of color to go where providers are culturally responsive to patients that they serve.”
April 10 is National Youth HIV and AIDS Awareness Day, an annual observance to raise awareness of the disproportionate and unique needs of young people in the effort to combat the spread of HIV. This day is an important opportunity to bring young people into the conversation about the urgency of this work, said McCants-Pearsall.
“We have to combat the stigma surrounding HIV, and we need to ensure that everyone can access equitable services and care,” McCants-Pearsall said. “What are young people’s needs? Are we going to where they are and listening to their feedback?”
Despite declining HIV infection rates in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control reported that youth ages 14 to 24 continue to be at a high risk of acquiring HIV, making up 21% of all new HIV diagnoses in the U.S. — with African American and Latinx men comprising a majority of those diagnoses. The CDC also found that a staggering 51% of young people living with HIV do not know their status, in large part due to inadequate HIV educational resources for young people.
“When I was growing up, there were no resources or services available — not just in my local community but for my community in general. Most of the services that did exist only existed in white spaces or other spaces that I wasn’t privy to,” McCants-Pearsall said. “And then, on top of that, I grew up in a Black middle-class family where community-based stigma often makes it hard to talk to family members and friends about these issues. That’s what pushed me into this field.”
McCants-Pearsall began his career in public health at the Thurgood Marshall College Fund where he developed the CDC Ambassador Program, which was designed to introduce students at HBCUs to careers in public health. He comes to HRC after serving in the Philadelphia Department of Public Health where he was project manager in the AIDS Activities Coordinating Office, working on HIV-related programming for Black and Latinx communities.
“As this administration continues to roll back the clock on all the progress that we have made in the last three decades, we have to teach each other how to get involved,” McCants-Pearsall said. “From working at the grassroots level to reaching out to your Congress members and local representatives, there is a way for everyone to make a change.”

The Crown’s Diana, Carson Jones, Devin Nunes, Felicity Huffman, Jude Law, The Avengers: HOT LINKS
The Crown’s Diana, Carson Jones, Devin Nunes, Felicity Huffman, Jude Law, The Avengers: HOT LINKS
SUING EVERYBODY. Devin Nunes is now suing McClatchy for $150 million. ‘The defamation lawsuit seeks $150 million and the deletion of an article in The Fresno Bee, a McClatchy newspaper, about Alpha Omega Winery, a company that Mr. Nunes partially owns. The article, published last May, described a lawsuit by a server who was aboard a San Francisco Bay cruise in 2015 attended by some of the winery’s top investors, which she said included drugs and prostitution.’
PLEA DEALS. How much time Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin can expect to face in prison for Operation Varsity Blues.
OTHERHOOD. Netflix delays Felicity Huffman movie.
FAT JERRY. Trump’s nickname for Jerrold Nadler.
THE PURGE. More on Trump’s hideous purge of DHS: “Trump is unfathomably cruel to migrants and refugees, and he is actively working to fill leadership positions in his administration with people who will abet that cruelty.”
NOTHING TO THE IMAGINATION. Jude Law in his skivvies.
HALSEY. On being homeless: ‘A gray duffel bag was my house.’
WHITE SUPREMACISTS. YouTube shuts down comment section on Congressional hearing after it gets too racist: “…the live chat located next to the video was quickly inundated with offensive language and slurs about Jews, black people, and other minorities. Some commenters used the clown emoji, which white nationalists have adopted as their own racist symbol.”
CASTING. The Crown has its Princess Diana in Emma Corrin: “Beyond excited and honoured to be joining The Crown for its fourth season”, said Corrin. “I have been glued to the show since the first episode and to think I’m now joining this incredibly talented acting family is just surreal. Princess Diana was an icon, and her effect on the world remains profound and inspiring. To be given the chance to explore her through Peter Morgan’s writing is the most exceptional opportunity, and I will strive to do her justice!”
CARSON JONES. Senator Doug Jones’ gay son writes open letter to the state of Alabama: “I would love to get married one day (in the very far distant future). But I’m disappointed to say it probably won’t be here in this state. It probably won’t be in Alabama simply because it doesn’t yet feel welcome or accepted.”
DRAMATIC READING OF THE DAY. The Avengers read a children’s version.
TOO HOT FOR TUESDAY. Alphíe.
