Observing National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day: A Guide
Take a test
On the first day of the NAACP convention in July 2006, Chairman Julian Bond conducted a public HIV test. This demonstrated to the minority community the critical nature of undergoing testing. If you have yet to undergo testing, take that as your inspiration and resolve to undertake this endeavor. Purchase a home testing instrument from a pharmacy or online. Additionally, conduct sexually transmitted disease testing.
Utilize a condom at all times.
Unprotected sexual activity, irrespective of one’s sexual orientation, constitutes a significant hazard in the transmission of HIV/AIDS.
Recall a cherished one
It is a time to honor those who have passed away from the disease and to remember those who are presently living with HIV or AIDS. Perform at a community center or attend a candlelight vigil at a church. Place fresh flowers on the grave of your loved one. Conversely, one may contemplate the pleasant moments spent with a companion, spouse, friend, or relative while reclining serenely in front of a miniature shrine that may be present within their abode.
