When will we get serious about HIV testing and safe sex practices???
There is no doubt that HIV/AIDS is having a great impact on communities of color, especially in the African American community. We can no longer afford to think its not me, that no one in my family has AIDS and that I don’t need to worry about that. The stats tell a different story but it doesn’t matter because the stats no longer scare us and no longer push us into action. So, what will!
Its simple. An HIV test can not only save your life but can save the life of your partner, husband or wife. Hopefully, this will start you on a journey of safe sex practices. And it doesn’t matter if you are married or single. It just matters that we are protecting each other the best way we know how.
