LOVE EACH OTHER DAMN BUT LOVE YOURSELF TOO, WRAP IT UP !!! Jacob Nathaniel Pring, Paul Kawata and I were being honored by the DC Center and it was truly an honor. This was the original program from the DC Center facebook event.
The DC Center on Tuesday, September 27th, from 7PM to 9PM for Gay Men's HIV Awareness Day.

Justin's HIV Journal  Justin B. Terry-Smith Justin B. Terry-Smith may be one of the most public African Americans living with HIV: He has his own blog and Web site, and he's even on YouTube. And who can blame him? Only 30, he already has an incredible story to tell. Justin admits he used to live "a very dangerous life," but since his diagnosis three years ago, the former heavy drinker and drug user has turned his life around.
