Black Healthcare Matters

The rubric for this project does not require much more than me taking peer-reviewed journal entries, relating them to specific chapters of our textbooks, and then presenting them in a way that makes it easy for people to understand the subject matter. I chose to synthesize information from a few medical journal articles with the chapter in our textbook on STIs. Not because I am particularly interested in the subject matter, but because the textbook claims to not know why there are such significant health disparities among Black Americans surrounding STIs.

If you did not roll your eyes while reading the previous paragraph, then please continue reading. If you did, brew some tea, “woosah”, and remember that gaslighting comes in many forms, including academic and medical.
