WORLD AIDS DAY!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!!





Today is a special day. No it's not only 24 days until Christmas but today is National HIV day!!! Why get excited you ask??? Well to me you should be excited to know that you have somewhere you can go close to your house and get tested for free. It should be no excuse why you haven't had an HIV test yet if you're having sex, unprotected or protected. We all need to be an advocate and get out here and help our youth. It amazes me how so many younger people will have sex just based on their partner's pressure or to "fit in" with their peers. We all have been there and had that pressure put on us. But we as a country still don't have enough sex education programs or some of the parents are fearful that their child will ask too many questions about sex that they're not ready to answer. That's crazy to me!!!! If your child is coming to you and they're asking you questions, don't you think that's better than they going out trying new things that they don't know nothing about?? Or better yet, get "advice" from the most unexperienced person out here?? That's why in Washington, DC we have the highest rate of HIV cases in the area because they don't know. They don't know how serious it is until they get caught up. They don't know how crazy people are until they're lied to. They don't know that they're not stronger than that virus. HIV does not discriminate!!!! It doesn't care what color or culture you are. It doesn't care how old you are or what plans you have. It doesn't care if you live or die!!! It cares to thrive off your body for survival. So get a clue!!! Wrap it up and have sex only with those that you love and trust. Your body is much more than you will ever know. You're priceless and no one can take that from unless you allow them to. So be proud and love yourself more than the next person will!!!
