Cum-Cream For The Day!



Today, June 27, 2021 is National HIV Testing Day! This post entry serves as a reminder to all of us that in order the know our status and to protect our and our partner's health, we should test for HIV regularly and religiously!
 


To enjoy sex without a condom, we need to know! In order to know, we all need to be tested!


That knowledge enables us the freedom and the pleasure of feeling another man delivering his soothing semen load upon our grateful and satisfied buttocks once again!

Versatility matters, guys! Be cool!

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

 


This date, February 7, annually, is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. This observance, sponsored by the larger Black community, is primarily targets the awareness of factual concerns not only just among the African-American population but also the general population. 


National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) was first formulated in 1999 and the first observance occurred in 2000. The major reason for this event was the need for a national cultural response to the alarming rise of HIV infections and AIDS diagnosis within the Black community. 

There are four primary goals for NBHAAD:

1. Get educated about HIV/AIDS. Know the facts and dispel the myths.

2. Get involved in community prevention efforts. Show and share as much as you know to as many as you know.

3. Get tested and know your status. Knowledge is power and helps to make a difference.

4. If infected, receive treatment. Learn how to life a happy and healthy life.

The governing body and sponsor of NBHAAD is the Strategic Leadership Council. The SLC offers guidance, direction and support to encouraging more active and engaging involvement of the African-American community in order for the continued success of NBHAAD.


The NBHAAD was conceived by five organizations funded by the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 1999 to provide the capacity for building a community resistance to the spreading of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The mobilization of communities began in 2000 with the Concerned Black Men, Philadelphia; Health Watch Information and Promotion Services; Jackson State University - Mississippi; Urban Research Center; National Black Alcoholism and Addictions Council and National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS.

World AIDS Day


World AIDS Day

World AIDS Day was first observed on December 1, 1988. This year marks the 30th anniversary of this event. 


It is customary to wear a red awareness ribbon on World AIDS Day. The red ribbon symbolizes awareness of the impact that HIV/AIDS has on the international community and for compassion for those individuals living with HIV/AIDS. A conventional AIDS awareness ribbon is featured below:


HIV/AIDS Fast Facts:

  1. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.
  2. AIDS is a result of HIV infection.
  3. HIV is not transmitted through everyday casual contact.
  4. Only a physician is able to diagnose AIDS. 
The most effective prevention from HIV infection is through education. Refraining from sex with an HIV infected person, the proper use of a latex/polyurethane condom and not sharing needles and/or syringes are also approved personal prevention practices. 

PrEP   (pre exposure prophylaxis) marketed under the pharmaceutical name: Truvada, is a once-a-day pill that also is 90% effective in preventing the transmission of HIV from one person to another. 

Make sure your sexual partner wears a condom!
