Video encourages testing of Latinos for HIV/AIDS - North Carolina

“Concerned about these numbers, Esquivel made a video urging doctors and nurses to screen for the disease. She asked Gary Black, health communication specialist at the Mecklenburg Health Department, to help with the project.

The video will be distributed to hospitals and clinics throughout Mecklenburg County in upcoming months.

“We’re missing opportunities to screen folks,” Black said. “They’re getting sicker and sicker and they’re showing up in the ER with symptoms corresponding to the AIDS disease.”"
