..is February 7th!

I went and talked to Cecilio, who works for ALFA about the testing process and got some great information about it. When I got tested (at a location other than ALFA, last year) they didn't get into any of the things ALFA got into. So keep in mind not all testing processes are the same but all in all, get tested.

Here's the video...
And he talks about the rapid test.



I also looked around on the website for National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.
http://www.blackaidsday.org/. It's a nice site so please do take a look around it.

Talk about educating, encouraging, uplifting, empowering and just doing the damn thang! Well this is the case when it comes to a young man on my campus. I first spotted him at orientation before starting my freshman year of college in 08 and I knew he would be shaking things up. He did NOT fail to deliver. People may have their own little issues with homosexuals but you just absolutely cannot deny Bootz his respect. His presence is demanding and I may not know him personally but please believe I do know exactly who Bootz Durango is. In the spring of this year Bootz started his own modeling group entitled House of Durango.

A House with which my goal is to give women the same confidence as I have while living in this society, as well as to educate heterosexuals on the homosexual lifestyle to provoke change within the microcosm I call my life! -

Description of House of Durango by THE Bootz Durango :]

And when I say this is one confident person…I mean it! Just watching him encourages me and I’m proud to say watching an openly gay male do whatever it is he wants and do it well, uplifts me as a straight woman. I’m excited for him and everything he will do in life…this video he did of the induction ceremony of the “niece and son line” that went down November Friday the 13th, (which he did the choreography for) only proves to me even more Bootz will be heard. And I felt that this is something everyone on Amplify needed to see. I’ve also talked to him about joining YouthResource, he’d love the Urban Retreat. =]

 



if the video doesn't show watch it here:

Make sure you subscribe to his YouTube channel!! His videos are hilarious and he keeps it real. [ALSO WATCH PART 2!!]

Just read Cree's post and just viewed the video below, on BET's 106 & Park Top Ten Countdown. Find this very fitting and again I ask...what's going on?

This entry is a part of our World AIDS Day Blogathon.  During this week we share our experiences, stories, and ideas about how HIV affects young people around the world. Join the blogathon .

Today is World AIDS Day..let’s all get tested!
Because its World AIDS Day I thought I’d share some facts regarding the African American community..keep in mind ladies..African American and Latino women are disproportionately impacted
-          African Americans make up about 12-13% of the population but account for most cases of AIDS
-          In 2007, 50% of all new HIV diagnoses and 42% of new AIDS diagnoses were in black people (these numbers have remained relatively stable in the last couple of years)
-          AIDS diagnoses in 2007 for African Americans..(very large number) 17,507
-          In 2005, 84% of all new HIV infections were among blacks and Latinos ages 13- to 19-year-olds and 76% of HIV infections among 20- to 24-year-olds in the United States even though, together, they represent only about 32% of people these ages.
Not knowing your status and you’re having unprotected sex, affects not only you, but also your partner…or partners, whichever one you choose to get down with. Do yourself, the ones you love, the ones your getting down with, whatever…do them all a favor and have them go also. Go where you ask? To get tested!! HIV/AIDS is not a game, nothing to play with and its killing our community. Need a place to get tested? Visit this website to find a place near you: www.hivtest.org

After checking my email and reading this:
www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gLpaAZAmJp4zfdYAfJ6xjVziJnUAD9BS7S000
it was only fitting to me that i post a blog about what i saw on another blog site..


 

 
 
"America's HIV epidemic isn't going away. In fact, it's getting worse, and African American and Latino women are disproportionately impacted... It's time to provide women in heavily impacted communities with expanded access to affordable women-controlled options, and the female condom becomes that choice. Women will use it if they have it" -- Dazon Dixon Diallo, Founder and President of SisterLove, a grassroots service organization that supports HIV/AIDS prevention and women's reproductive health programs in the Atlanta, Georgia.
 
The new condoms will be 30% cheaper than its predecessor and are supposed to be more user friendly. FHC hopes this help in the fight against the global HIV epidemic and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Peeped this here.

This can help women that have knowledge of it, meaning they get educated and can afford the contraception..can we get some education and available contraception for those in developing countries?? AIDS is nothing to play with.
