Today is National HIV Awareness Day. It’s really simple people, GET TESTED!! Know your status! It’s important. If you were tested last year, 2 years ago, whatever, get tested again. Your current status is important to your LIFE!!! Just last week I read there is a female crisis among poor black women in the Washington, DC area. http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-06-21/news/32356377_1_hiv-cases-hiv-rate-heterosexual-epidemic 

Whether you’re poor, middle class, rich, black, white or green, The HIV infection is an equal opportunity disease. WRAP UP ~ TAKE THE TEST~ TAKE CONTROL! What’s your excuse?
