Hello Sorors,
Tonight I had the distinct pleasure to hear SOROR RAE LEWIS-THORNTON speak. She was uplifting, inspiring, and informative. She painted a vivid picture of part of her life with AIDS. Can ANY of you imagine taking 23 pills a day EVERY DAY? She also put to words the reality of Magic Johnson's HIV situation.
Her words have made me realize that truly SEXUAL HEALTH, SEXUAL RESPONSIBILITY and all that it involves is the MOST IMPORTANT HEALTH ISSUE FACING US. The numbers involving BLACKS, both men and women are shocking.
I urge all who read this, if you have not ever done so to have an AIDS test. I will.
Lastly, side note, thanks to the Epsilon Chapter of DST for hosting their May Week around Sexual Health issues. Soror Snoopy922, it was wonderful to meet you and your sands.

He who asks questions cannot avoid the answers.
Rain does not fall on one roof alone.
Words are like eggs: when they are hatched they have wings.
Advise and counsel him; if he does not listen, let adversity teach him.
What one hopes for is always better than what one has.
