Saw this on the news today and I'm curious why so many African Americans have Aids.
HARRISBURG, PA-Hamilton Health Center, Black Girl Health.com and Author, Preston A. Dent are collaborating to present free HIV testing to the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania community at Reservoir Park July 19th, 2014. Preston will perform his new single, David, from the novel, DAVID Live Life, Live Long, Live Free. DAVID is about a young man growing up in poverty and confusion, contracting the HIV virus through sexual intercourse--the novel twists and turns the reader like an emotional rollercoaster of understanding the ignorance one can endure of not knowing what their health situation can be. The event is from 12 P.M. to 4 P.M. Complimentary HIV testing will also begin at this time.
