So, it is Black History Month and while we celebrate the achievements and great things that have happened for black people let’s not overlook some things that are holding us back. The month of February is a great time of remembrance and celebration. Even though we should be proud 24/7, 365 of who we are and where we come from, it is also a time of learning. As a people, we need to learn to better protect ourselves when it comes to our reproductive health. Embrace and enjoy the celebration of black during the month of February but also know that HIV is greatly affecting our community and if we continue to ignore it we will no longer be able to enjoy the month of Black History or any month. Monday, February 7th is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness and Information day. Falls right into Black History Month really nicely, doesn’t it?
Seriously, go out on Monday the 7th, get the information and get tested. I’ll even help with the information part by providing these links:

Please do click them and check out the site. And Monday morning find a site to get tested at.
