       Chinese state
            security on Tuesday released from custody an AIDS activist
            who had been missing for more than a month, Agence
            France-Presse reports.       Hu Jia had been missing
            since mid February after working to organize       a
            nationwide hunger strike to protest police brutality against
            activists.       Although police refused to confirm whether
            Hu had been in custody,       activists in the country
            assumed he had been secretly detained. Hu's
            wife, Zeng Jinayn, held a press conference last week to
            announce that he       was missing. The Chinese vice health
            minister last week said he had no       knowledge of
            Hu's whereabouts. (The Advocate)

        In the early days of the AIDS crisis, there were no treatments for people with HIV and no pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a prescription-based daily pill or an injection that people not living with HIV can take to prevent HIV infection, to prevent its spread. On top of it all, institutional racism in the realm of public health often left Black patients out. Keep Reading →
