Gay Mens HIV AIDS Awareness Day

Monday, September 27 marks National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day -- a perfect day to go out and get tested.

On the heels of a disturbing report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that one in five men living in urban areas is HIV-positive and about half of them are unaware that they are, the HIV/AIDS Awareness Day comes as budgets have been slashed, new infections are on the rise, and renewed focus turns to HIV in the gay community.
