Saving Grace: Confronting HIV/AIDS in the Black Community

Filmed interviews from nearly twenty members of the Black community in South Florida who either live with or are deeply affected by HIV or AIDS. This is film is part of the Saving Grace exhibit presented by the World AIDS Museum and Educational Center in partnership with the Westside Gazette. The exhibit opened with a reception April 28, 2016, at the Old Dillard Museum in Fort Lauderdale’s Sistrunk district where five members of the Black HIV/AIDS Community were honored with the Saving Grace Award, sponsored by Vitas Healthcare. Members of the community are coming forward to fight HIV by fighting the stigma of HIV and advocating for HIV testing. Testing leads to education and counseling and, if needed, treatment. Treatment facilitates prevention because those on HIV medicine are least likely to pass the virus on to others compared to an infected person who does not know they are infected and is therefore not on treatment.
