2. Ensuring Mutual BenefitCommunities, especially underserved communities, are often
subjects of research that doesn’t benefit them.
“I have given you my blood, my semen, my saliva and my urine.
I have spent hours with you answering intimate question about my sex life, my
drug use, my health and my partners and friends.
In return, I ask that you simply tell me what you learned.”
-Hank Wilson, Activist, San Francisco1947-2008
