In the summer of 2021, members of the What Would an HIV Doula Do? community watched selected excerpts and recorded their own responses, creating a new oral history. Some are zoom calls, others spoken word responses in total darkness. “AIDS is not over and the Doulas push us to understand the urgency of that in a matter of poetics and politics.” ~ Devon Narine-Singh
