AIDS is more than a 4-letter acronym, and HIV is more than a phantom in the night. They're both probably a lot closer to home than you think. Today is World AIDS Day and today you have the ability to make it mean more than just a red-ribbon, more than just a charity walk, and more than just a 24-hour period of observance. Today, schedule an HIV Test and know your status. If you know your status, encourage someone else to get tested. Listen to this song, It's Real, by Lyfe Jennings from his last album Lyfe Change. Really pay attention to the lyrics. Don't let those 3 or 4 letters take you to your final resting place...
