ls_numbersdontlie_020810Unfortunately numbers don’t lie. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of the total AIDS cases reported in the U.S. occur among African-Americans. Yesterday, February 7th, marked the ninth National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. Communities, from coast to coast, spread the awareness through “education, outreach and free testing.”

Let’s have National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, be everyday not just yesterday.

Below are sites where you will find information on HIV/AIDS, from where to get tested to the steps prior and post testing.

    In the words of Yo Gotti; Men Lie, Women Lie….Numbers don’t Lie! I am very passionate about HIV/AIDS. I lost an uncle in 1993 when the awareness was almost non-existent. Regardless of what people may tell you; it is better to know than to remain unawre. Get tested! God is Great.
