Chicago Health Advocates on How to Combat the Recent Rise of HIV Cases in Young Latino Men
Pedro Alonso Serrano of the Chicago Queer Latine Collaborative is a colleague of Zapata’s, and he says that another major issue in the health care and medical world is the lack of cultural humility.
“What we find is that in the broader health workforce, we actually have fewer Latinos working in leadership roles in health systems,” said Serrano. “When we look at the number of Latino professors in public health, it’s fewer than 3 percent. Latinos are 18% of the population.”
The CQL Collaborative recently created a campaign called the “PrEPárate: PrEP For You & ME” to raise awareness on what HIV is and how to prevent it, emphasizing the importance of local campaigns.
