In the newspaper article, “ America’s Hidden HIV Epidemic “ by Linda Vilarosa talks about a guy named Sturdevant who drives around Jackson, Miss and provide HIV medicines for the black and transgender people had HIV. Sturdevant has HIV and that’s why he knows people don’t talk about this disease openly. Mostly black men and bisexual people were suffering from high HIV. Black men were having sex with black girls without knowing that they have HIV. And that affected those girls who had sex with them. Some of their family members didn’t want to take their responsibility when they knew that they have HIV. Vilarosa also explains how black men and transgenders dying from HIV even the treatment are available. Linda Vilarosa also states, how black and bisexual should be treated. They should not lose hope to live and stay strong. Also, HIV can be diagnosed early with good treatment and medicine. The genre of the article is a newspaper. The writer used a simple language for the audience to understand the topic better. Also, the audience is the people who don’t openly talk about their disease. So, that’s why the winter wanted to people know about HIV and be aware of it.
