42% of New HIV Infections: How Structural Racism Drives Health Inequality (USA)

Effective Elimination of Structural Racism

Erick Guerrero

Structural racism isn't just about personal bias—it's a system of policies and norms that create deep health disparities. In the USA, Black men who have sex with men make up only 13% of the population but account for 42% of new HIV infections. This video, based on the book *Effective Elimination of Structural Racism* edited by Dr. Erick Guerrero, reveals the shocking data behind this inequity. We'll break down how racial segregation, not behavior, is the real driver, and explore proven strategies like structural competency training and low-barrier clinics to fight back. Watch to understand the root cause and what actually works to eliminate it.
