Slideshow: AIDS In America By Krisanne Johnson

For our photo issue, Krisanne Johnson spent time in both Mississippi and New York photographing young black women with HIV and AIDS. They are the quickest growing demographic of those positive in the United States. For an extended edit of the photo essay, Johnson and Lolisa Gibson (who is featured in some of the photos) talk about life with AIDS and the stigma and facts surrounding the disease's rise in our country.
