As of this year there are 2 million cases of HIV nationally, with more than 56 thousand newly infected

-that means that every 9 and a half minutes someone, somewhere is infected.

That means that person could be you, or someone you know, including your wife, your husband, your lover, your brother, sister, father, mother, friend, neighbor or co-worker....though HIV is preventable - someone at some time didn't take the proper precautions....However, they won't know unless they understand the disease....HIV is actually the virus that causes AIDS.

An infected person may not look sick, that's why it's important to use protection when having sex....HIV is passed thru blood, semen, even pre-cum fluid, vaginal fluid or breast milk, sharing needles or possibly thru a blood transfusion. If you're unsure - get tested. More information and testing sites are on our website star94fm.com STAR Cares about our community
