This is one of the hardest days of the year for many people whose lives have been touched by the HIV virus, either through personal infection or the infection/passing of loved ones.

This can also be a joyous occasion, where we celebrate the lives of those who have succumbed to this virus or who are living/fighting daily, pressing on, and beating it down.

Many of you know I have been working with the positive population for some time, and no matter how long, this shit gets not easier folks.

We have lost a number of people in the last month, and it has taken a toll on me.

Have you lost anyone to HIV/AIDS-related complications? Ever worked with someone who is living with it? Have you ever even touched someone with the virus?

There are still so many stereotypes and stigma attached to HIV/AIDS and it is due to lack of knowledge. I implore each and every one of you to educate yourselves, get the knowledge, understand whats REALLY going on in this country and this world, and BE CAREFUL!!!

The people I have worked with have been gay males and females, former and current drug users, some former prisoners, and more often than not, women who were infected by men they loved and were committed to. We can fight this! Get tested! Know your status!

HIV/AIDS is NOT gone, it is still here, alive and well and killing Black women around the world faster than anyone else.

If you can, reach out to someone you know who is infected. Give him/her a word or encouragement or a hug. It wont rub off on you :)

Peace,
M
