WOW-factor: There Could Be A Cure For HIV Soon!

The most complicated and diverse virus on the planet may have to throw in the towel. It might be 10 years, might be 20 years, might be 30 years, but it looks like we're moving closer and closer to destroying this devastating killer! SHOUTS TO HOUSTON, TX!! Whaadddupppp!?! YEESH! I wonder how rich these guys are going to get if they find a cure for this beast.

Aids & Blacks In America

Some startling facts I'd like to share that I saw on CNN:
  • 30,000 New HIV infections each year
  • 47% of people in America that have HIV are black
  • Leading cause of death in black women ages 25-35
  • 2nd leading cause of death in black men ages 35-44
  • 80% of Americans with HIV in Washington D.C. are black
  • 84% of Americans with HIV in Jacksonville, MS are black
...c'mon, people, let's not go out like this! There's ways to prevent this, so let's prevent it.
