There are a few days a year that I am really excited about... National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (Feb 7), My mommy birthday, my birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas and today.... Numerous commemorations take place on this day across the nation and world.  My day was no different from many others especially within the HIV Prevention arena... Woke up went to work, started a report (that I didn't finish) yet the most important part of the day was provide 25 people the most valuable information of the day, and that was their HIV-status... From testing I attended a movie screening of The Epidemic Chronicles, taken from the author Facebook page:

The story starts off with five guys intertwined in the same bed… only thing is they are not really together. It is a metaphor for the connection they all have to each other. You see each one’s personal story and how they will be affected by being HIV+.  Movie Trailer Click Here...

At the end of the movie, the author spoke for a few minutes and held a candlelight vigil for all those persons affected worldwide....  As each person lit a candle, we declared a "statement of hope".
