Black infectious disease doctors: HIV, hepatitis, TB, complex infections. Black adults are 8 times more likely to be diagnosed with HIV. ID care matters.
Black Americans are 8 times more likely to be diagnosed with HIV than white Americans, and Black women account for roughly 54 percent of new HIV diagnoses among women (CDC, 2022). An infectious disease (ID) specialist manages HIV, hepatitis B and C, tuberculosis, persistent fevers, bone and joint infections, and complex antibiotic decisions. Racial concordance in HIV care has been linked to higher viral suppression rates in multiple cohort studies.
