World AIDS Day

Today, I honor all of my friends who have left this world because of AIDS.  This terrible disease has claimed the lives of more friends than any other disease or event.  Here in Florida, we have the third largest population of those infected with HIV in the nation. One in every 205 white men, one in ever 113 Latino, and one in every 42 African American men in Florida is living with HIV in Florida.  Nationally, AIDS is the leading cuase of death among young African American women.   But we can make a difference; I can make a difference one on one and together because We are GREATER than AIDS and HIV.
