HIV Ends With Us
December 1st is World AIDS Day and a time to remember that we still need to fight for a cure.
For the first time in 30 years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, we have powerful HIV prevention tools that can change the course of the epidemic.
We must “Redefine HIV.”

Now that I know my status AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT, it troubles me that Black dudes get mad when you ask them about THEIRS. It’s like they don’t WANT to know, and they’d rather keep shooting in the dark. What kind of life is that?
“No strings attached,” they call it. Like that’s the “in” thing nowadays. But I’ll stick with my old fashioned beliefs: I want to go far, not fast. So… phone sex forever, I reckon. Because I’ll be damned if I’m gonna ‘lay’ with somebody and not know what’s up with them. No matter how fine, no matter how dark, no matter how beautiful the hairline.
When a person refuses to talk about it or get tested, it shows who the real losers are.
IT’S LONELY AT THE TOP.

Being an HIV positive male I could not be happier to see a great ad like this. Thank you Wendy for being an advocate and helping get the word out there.

Getting testing for hiv is the brave and correct thing to do. Know your status! It can save a life. GOD Bless all!

You’ll feel much better after being tested, you know where you stand. You want to stay clear. You become inquisitive about someone you might get intimate with, because you want to know if they have been tested. Because you want to stay clear. But when you ask them anything, they get turned off. What’s up with that?

FOR THIS REASON, for the past two years I have been practicing celibacy. Thanks to the Internet and phone sex and stuff like that, I don’t have to be tempted by promiscuity. By simply talking with your date about the subject and learning about them, you find it to be easier to abstain and hold off till the real deal comes along. It’s worth the wait. It’s a matter of “Instant Gratification” versus “Delayed Gratification” and most people seem to like instant. Wow.

Very health conscious, as we should be. Especially as an African American Male. But what concerns me is that most get offended if you approach the subject, as though it should never be mentioned. Dang. Why does the topic make so many Black dudes uncomfortable? The sex is so much better–SOOO much better–once you talk about what’s up before you dim the lights.
