In this image we have an HIV positive woman, Katrina Haslip, protesting. Her mission was to bring awareness to how women are also affected by HIV. The LGBTQ were not the only ones affected by poor treatment. Black women were also facing fatal consequences to the lack of response to the AIDS epidemic.

Protesters started creating grave posters in order to bring attention to the mortality AIDS/HIV was causing. They would lay in the middle of the street to demand that the government would properly treat them; This was to show the severity of the neglect the infection. Some members within the LGBTQ community received placebos during the research, ultimately killing them.

The ACT movement was started in 1987 in response to a lack of treatment and research for AIDS/HIV. When the epidemic started, the government failed to act quickly to the alarming rates of infection. AIDS was heavily associated with gay men which quickly became a misfortune for them; Leo Bersani explains in his "Is My Rectum a Grave", that homophobia played a significant role in the neglect of infection within the LGBTQ community.

The AIDS epidemic emphasized the unjust treatment the LGBTQ community were facing. Although, black women were also targets of the illness and neglect as previously mentioned. Author Cathy Cohen discusses in her "Punks Bulldaggers and Welfare Queens" article that because many black women were victims of welfare and had dependency on government funded programs, they did not have and could not afford the privileges that came with the AIDS treatments. Even white gays had more privileges than they did.

Black women are the most often oppressed in any race of women. In the article "A Black Feminist Statement" by the Combahee River collection, they state "We also often find it difficult to separate race from class from sex oppression because in our lives they are most often experienced simultaneously". While we can see this being depicted during the AIDS epidemic, this is not the only problem they face along with being on welfare.
