Fight HIV Stigma through Access, Mobilization and Equity | Allison Mathews | TEDxCaryWomen

The HIV/AIDS crisis isn't over, especially in marginalized communities. With a look at remembering important historical events, leveraging modern day tools such as crowd sourcing and technology, and underscoring the importance of diversity in clinical research, Dr. Allison Mathews shares her idea that helps us remember we are all the S.A.M.E. Dr. Allison Mathews is an innovative researcher focused on how community action can mobilize medical advancements.
Dr. Allison Mathews is a researcher and entrepreneur living in Durham,
North Carolina. She currently works as the Associate Director of Integrating Special Populations in the Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. Her upbringing and educational experiences developed her strong interest in integrating social justice with arts, research, and technology. In 2017, she co-founded HIV Cure Research Day, a day recognized by the state of North Carolina to galvanize community-based efforts to promote HIV cure clinical research. She is the co-found of Digital LinCS, a software produce that automates the process of pre-screening and connecting the uninsured people living with HIV to free and low cost medications.
Dr. Mathews co-organized the inaugural World AIDS Day celebration hosted by the Office of Public Engagement in the NC Office of the Governor in 2019 and has been invited to speak around the world about her work.

The day will come when HIV and AIDS will be but a memory. People will talk about the scourge that was AIDS and the fear it bought, yet also rejoice that it has become a thing of the past.
