Today is National Black AIDS/HIV Awareness Day!  Click here for the official website.

Ladies & gents, please get yourself tested, especially those of us who may engage/have engaged in uprotected sex with men and/or women who are known or suspected to have multiple partners.  This disease does not discriminate.  A piece of ass is not worth dying for.

Say a prayer for all of our sisters & brothers who have fallen victim to this silent killer.

Don't forget to take the poll.

The first time I was tested, I hadn't planned on it, but the opportunity presented itself.  I was scared, hoping, praying, repenting, etc.  To make matters worse, it wasn't the rapid screen, so I had to wait a week.  I had to personally go back to the clinic for the results.  Due to my promiscuous past, I vomited twice before I even left home.  I was sick.  My BFF went with me (thank God for BFFs).  I talked with counselor, got my results & went to celebrate.  Whew!  I was a happy heffa that day!
