"A newly-married young mother, Susan Cole was stunned when she was diagnosed with HIV. Aged 30, Ms Cole had been tested for the virus in 1999 following a routine immigration test in the US, but never believed she was at risk. It just didn't cross my mind for a moment that an HIV test would come back positive, she told The Independent."
The Independent covers a broad range of US issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech through on-the-ground reporting and investigations such as probes into Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC. The outlet produces documentaries like 'The A Word' that focus on American women fighting for reproductive rights. Funding appeals support sending reporters to cover both sides of stories while maintaining free access to reporting and analysis without paywalls. Susan Cole was diagnosed with HIV after a 1999 immigration test, was told she had seven years to live, defied that prognosis and founded a nonprofit addressing health inequities affecting Black women.
