Black gay men wanted for survey


The National Black Gay Men's Advocacy Coalition (NBGMAC) wants to increase its knowledge about how Black gay men communicate. To do so, the organization has launched a survey to gauge how Black gay, bisexual and same-gender loving men use the Internet for communication purposes and to get health policy and advocacy information. If you are a Black gay, bisexual or same-gender loving man, the NBGMAC asks that you please take a moment to complete the brief survey and share with your networks. If not, please share the message with colleagues, friends or family members who are. To complete the survey, click here.
 
 
 
LA Corp Signs On to Youth Awareness Day
Today's young people are the first generation who have never known a world without HIV and AIDS. In the United States, one in three new HIV infections is among youth ages 13 to 24. Despite this harsh reality, young people and their allies are determined to end this pandemic once and for all.

The creation of National Youth HIV & AIDS Awareness Day is a momentous step towards acknowledging and addressing the needs of youth — and towards holding our leaders accountable each year as we continue this fight. Only by investing in young people in all aspects of the HIV and AIDS response will we achieve the dream of an AIDS-free generation. AIDS United grantee, The Living Affected Corporation has signed on to call on President Obama, Congress, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the HIV & AIDS community to officially recognize April 10 as National Youth HIV & AIDS Awareness Day.

This forum has been steadfast on the this chronic illness and its widening thrust throughout communities everywhere. Especially most notably among young black men who are being directly impacted and not linking to or staying in a care continuum.
