The False Equivalency in the World of HIV
July 28, 2016
My organization, I Choose Life Health and Wellness Center partnered with Alan Haymon and Haymon Entertainment, as well as Pfizer, Inc. and together, over a period of 18 months, visiting 66 cities, in 24 states, tested more than 30 thousand primarily African American men, women and young adults for HIV. During that period, we found 600 plus HIV positive persons with the oldest being a 65 years old woman in Philadelphia, PA and the youngest, a 16-year-old black girl in Seattle, WA and none of those 600 plus Black people that tested positive for HIV, knew that they were infected with the virus; which brings me to the titled of my article, The False Equivalency in the World of HIV.

Be Seen As We Are
April 14, 2016
Last week, I was catching up on all of my TV shows that I had DVR’d; most of the time, if the show does not look very interesting, I just fast forward and keep it pushing. Well, for some reason, as I was watching the Tavis Smiley Show, Tavis announced his guest, the winner of American Idol, Mr. Jorden Smith.

When I saw this young man, with this very high-pitched voice; I knew I had to see what was up with this and how in the hell did he win!

What is the Doing It campaign?
The Doing It campaign is a new effort by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to encourage all adults – especially those in communities that are most affected by HIV/AIDS like the Black community – to get tested for HIV.

In Need of a Friend
February 17, 2016
Having worked in youth services for the past ten years, I’ve had the opportunity to observe countless different types of young people, with varied and shared experiences, who have been in a place of need for one reason or another. And it’s that need that I experienced myself as a young person; homeless, and in need of a friend, that I continue to advocate for a community in search of freedom. My name is Greg Wilson, I’m 34 and I recently released my first book, “Metamorphosis of a Heart”, chronicling my own personal experiences growing up as a black, gay,
Black Women Have a New Way to Protect Themselves from HIV Infection
February 10, 2016
One in 32 Black women in the U.S. will be infected with HIV in her lifetime. And although the rate of new infections among Black women has decreased, new data show we continue to be far more affected by HIV than women of other races/ethnicities – after 30 plus years of the epidemic.
