Notes

Abstract:
Ederick Johnson's oral history discusses HIV/AIDS awareness, the experience of Black gay ministers, and the importance of sexual health education in marginalized communities. Johnson, a young minister from Palmetto, Florida, emphasizes the necessity of self-love, open dialogue on sexual practices, and regular health checks, including HIV and STD testing. Facing significant stigma, both as an HIV/AIDS advocate and a gay minister, he underscores the challenges within religious and wider communities. His narrative underscores the critical role of education, prevention strategies like PrEP, and the importance of breaking down misconceptions about HIV/AIDS. Johnson's journey reflects a commitment to advocacy and transparency, striving to bring light to often overlooked issues in sexual health and acceptance.
