The LGBTQ community was uniquely prepared for the Covid-19 pandemic, having been so affected by both HIV and AIDS over the last forty years. In this installment of the Real People, Real Voices series, Jai Rodriguez is joined by two heroes who were on the frontlines of both fights. Morris Singletary and Phill Wilson talk to us about founding organizations that strive to end the HIV and AIDS epidemic, and what lessons can be applied to Covid-19. To learn more about their stories, watch the video below and visit Pozitive2Positive and The Black AIDS Institute.
