Today is World Aids day. Created to mourn those we have lost and to continue educating the public about prevention. I haven't lost anyone yet but know over a dozen loved ones living with either HIV or AIDS. I encourage everyone to practice risk aware sex and to continue to get tested and know your status. Embrace those around you who disclose their poz status and help to work with your friends to reduce the stigma associated with HIV. Most cities have places to get free HIV testing done. I volunteer with the Pittsburgh Aids Task Force and it's just a quick saliva sample now- no waiting for days for your results... It only takes 15 minutes. Today, I celebrate anyone who's on my fitness pal living with HIV or AIDS and salute your efforts to continue to live a healthy lifestyle! <3

    Thank you for this reminder! I lost a dear friend of mine from college to AIDS, and have a couple of friends living with HIV.
