A new study reveals that Black Americans have a higher mortality rate than white Americans, resulting in 1.63 million excess deaths over two decades. Systemic factors such as stigma and racism are identified as major barriers to PrEP uptake among cisgender Black women.

Efforts to include Black and Hispanic people in clinical trials have not been enough to eliminate disparities. IndyGeneUS_AI aims to address the long-standing distrust of clinical research among African Americans.
