Knowing your HIV status gives you the power to take control of your health. Did you know you can take an HIV test at home or in your own space? When we reduce HIV stigma and promote prevention, testing, and treatment for women, we can help end the HIV epidemic. Black women face the highest risk of HIV, but many Black women do not know their HIV status. Stigma and fear of racial discrimination may prevent them from getting tested or seeking care if infected. Similarly, cultural challenges such as language barriers and immigration status may raise Latina women's risk for HIV. ________________________________ Network of the National Library of Medicine, Region 5 (Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and U.S. Territories and Freely Associated States in the Pacific) University of Washington Health Sciences Library, Seattle, WA https://nnlm.gov/ | nnlm@uw.edu | 206-543-8262 Region 5 Facebook Region 5 Twitter Region 5 Instagram Region 5 LinkedIn Region 5 blog -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Students can scroll through the timeline to learn more about who Henrietta Lacks was, how HeLa cells were discovered, and how medical science has benefitted. The timeline complements four lesson plans created by K-12 educators in partnership with the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the National Human Genome Research Institute. The lesson plans explore a variety of topics that interconnect Henrietta Lacks' life and experiences and highlight the importance of these topics to our current understanding of science and society. Each lesson plan comes with instructional materials including resource sheets, PowerPoint slides, and introductory activities. Applicable Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards are listed, and each lesson plan is available in PDF form for easy download. ________________________________ Network of the National Library of Medicine, Region 5 (Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and U.S. Territories and Freely Associated States in the Pacific) University of Washington Health Sciences Library, Seattle, WA https://nnlm.gov/ | nnlm@uw.edu | 206-543-8262 Region 5 Facebook Region 5 Twitter Region 5 Instagram Region 5 LinkedIn Region 5 blog -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
