Fill up your water bottle and get ready for an awesome way to help provide kids in Africa with clean water. For the next couple of weeks, I challenge you to drink only water. No juice, no soda, no sports drinks, no (gasp!) coffee, no Jamba Juice—nothing but water for two weeks.
Dining Out for Life is today! This is a yearly event to raise money for HIV/AIDS organizations. Restaurants donate 15-35% of their proceeds to social service organizations in their area for one day only. It is happening in several cities, including Minneapolis, today, and in other cities in the weeks to come. All you have to do is EAT!

I recently heard news that an at home HIV test will be released (I’m not sure when). It would detect the viral antibodies of the virus. I think this could be a huge benefit, as it would make testing much more accessible. Although people shouldn’t, I think that some feel embarrassed about asking their doctor about an HIV test because of the stigma associated with the disease.
Did you know that even in today’s world you can not give blood if you “are a male who has had sexual contact with another male, even once.” Can you believe this, in today’s modern world homosexuals still can’t give blood. I understand that there is a high risk of
HIV/AIDS but not all homosexuals have HIV/AIDS, and there are plenty of not straight people who do have HIV/AIDS.
