 Every 10 minutes, someone in the U.S. contracts HIV. Half are black. Thirty years after the discovery of the AIDS virus among gay white men, nearly half of the 1 million people in the United States infected with HIV are black men, women and children. "If black America was a country unto itself, it would have the 16th worst epidemic in the world," says Phill Wilson, head of the Black AIDS Institute. A FRONTLINE special presentation, ENDGAME: AIDS in Black America, is a groundbreaking two-hour exploration of one of the country's most urgent, preventable health crises. The film traces the history of the epidemic through the experiences of extraordinary individuals who tell their stories: people like Nel, a 63-year-old grandmother who married a deacon in her church and later found an HIV diagnosis tucked into his Bible; Tom and Keith, survivors who were children born with the virus in the early 1990s; and Jovanté, a high school football player who didn't realize what HIV meant until it was too late. From Magic Johnson to civil rights pioneer Julian Bond, from pastors to health workers, people on the front lines tell moving stories of the battle to contain the spread of the virus, and the opportunity to finally turn the tide of the epidemic. The film is directed, produced and written by Renata Simone, the producer of the 2006 award-winning FRONTLINE series The Age of AIDS. Make sure to watch on Tuesday, July 10th on PBS at 9:00 p.m. Check out the preview below!

 Today, June 27th, is National HIV Testing Day (NHTD). It is an annual campaign coordinated by the National Association of People with AIDS to encourage people of all ages to "Take the Test, Take Control."
Too many people don't know they have HIV. In the United States, nearly 1.2 million people are living with HIV, and almost one in five don't know they are infected. Getting tested is the first step to finding out if you have HIV. If you have HIV, getting medical care and taking medicines regularly helps you live a longer, healthier life and also lowers the chances of passing HIV on to others.
"UPDATE YOUR STATUS" and know your truth! Wake County HIV/STD Community Program will provide free and confidential HIV & Syphilis Testing tonight, Wednesday, June 27th from 5 to 8pm in Clinic E of the Public Health Department located on 10 Sunnybrook Road! Go get tested and UPDATE YOUR STATUS!
If you can't make it tonight and want to get tested in the future, check out their testing calendar and map.
 Many Shades of Gay is a collaboration between San Francisco AIDS Foundation, local health agencies, community-based providers and funders from the public and private sectors. Many Shades of Gay is about celebrating the rich, colorful and diverse lifestyles within the gay community. The campaign communicates that no matter who you are or how you see yourself, getting an HIV test every six months is an important part of taking care of yourself, your partners and your community. It’s important to know one’s current HIV status, especially among gay and bisexual men who are disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic. Not knowing one’s HIV status leads to missed opportunities for HIV prevention and care. For infection rates to decrease, status awareness must increase. On the local and federal level, the San Francisco Department of Public Health, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and many community-based service providers are investing heavily in both the availability of HIV tests (supply) and the frequency with which gay and bisexual men are tested for HIV (demand). Check out this website and sign up so you can be sent text reminders about getting tested every 6 months and also have a reminder set up on your Google or Yahoo! calendar so you don't forget. It's a great way to remember to get tested! You can also find local testing sites near you and create your own avatar to look like you and to share with your friends! Check out their website!
