About this Quote

This quote by Elijah Cummings highlights the out of proportion influence of AIDS on African-American ladies. It is a raw pointer of the systemic bigotry as well as inequality that exists in the United States. African-American women are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS, accounting for 67 percent of all newly detected women AIDS instances. This is a worrying figure, as it reveals that African-American ladies are more probable to be exposed to HIV/AIDS than various other women. This can be as a result of an absence of accessibility to medical care, education and learning, as well as sources, along with a lack of understanding regarding the threats of HIV/AIDS. It is essential to identify the out of proportion influence of HIV/AIDS on African-American females as well as to take actions to deal with the underlying root causes of this inequality. This consists of giving accessibility to medical care, education, and also resources, in addition to increasing understanding about the threats of HIV/AIDS.
