It's National Women & Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day!

I am one of 1,200 bloggers that are participating in the Red Pump Project to raise awareness for HIV/AIDS among women and girls.

A woman tests positive for HIV every 35 minutes. Black women make up for 66% of that number. In 2006, 69% of AIDS cases were that of Black teen girls.

You have so much to offer in this world so stay alive and make a difference! Get tested and know your status. For a list of HIV testing sites, go to hivtest.org.
