December 1st is World AIDS Day
HIV/AIDS Awareness should be a daily concern.
Get tested.  Say NO - to unprotected sex. 

Women are infected most often through 

heterosexual relationships. African-American women account for over 70% of new HIV cases. Consider the 'female condom.'

The Law and Policy Group, Inc. advocates testing on demand within correctional institutions and prior to release from correctional institutions.
