National HIV Testing Day!

The Department of Health and Human Services wants Americans to get tested.

Today is HIV Testing Day. On June 27, many communities are offering residents an opportunity for testing for the dangerous virus that can progress to AIDS.

HIV can be transmitted through sexual intercourse (anal, vagina and oral), sharing needles with an infected partner, and blood transfusions.

HIV can be affected greatly in the African American community. HIV doesn't discriminate against any race, gender, sexuality, religious, economic or political standings. 

Vicki West.
The disease can affect you from two weeks to up to 10 years. The person who is affected may not notice symptoms. 

HIV risk are greatly increased when the person isn't aware of the disease. The person may practice in unsafe sexual practices. The person may be a heroin user who uses needles that may be infected with another user's blood.

Chances have increased. At least out of 225 people at least ten would be living with the virus. 

HIV can not be cured. It can be treated. A person can live a healthy life with HIV if they take measures with their doctor and ensure a path to long life. HIV is not a shameful disease. 

If you inform your partner (or partners) you may save their lives too. 

Anyone affected with HIV and willingly spreads it to partners without informing them can face a CLASS THREE FELONY and it could land you in the iron college for minimum of 4 years up to 15 to LIFE.

Oral sex is risky for two reasons. Any sexual exchange of bodily fluids with a person infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, poses a risk of infection. Risk of STI infection, however, is generally considered significantly lower for oral sex than for vaginal or anal sex, with HIV transmission considered the lowest risk with regard to oral sex.

The National HIV Testing Day is organized annually by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's AIDS.GOV program. Walgreens is one corporate sponsor, and offers free HIV testing on that day at a number of its drugstore locations, in fact in 140 cities in 2014.

The day has been an event since 1995, when it was organized by the National Association of People with AIDS (NAPWA).

Vicki West is one of the country's most notorious HIV cases. She is a Dayton, Ohio woman who lives with the disease. She is a prostitute who is actively spreading the disease to individuals. She has been arrested over numerous times in Dayton and Cincinnati. 

Dayton and Cincinnati police have warned residents that HIV is active in prostitutes who engage in heroin and numerous partners.

Because of Vicki West, many states including Ohio have passed laws that will put individuals in the iron college if they're caught deliberately spreading HIV.

West is currently in the iron college. Last time I've check the inmate listings, she'll be back on the streets by the end of the year.

West will continue her path to destruction and Americans must take heed to her and those who don't practice safe sex .

So if you're sexuality active, a drug user, a person who is unsure about your partner, or just because you want to, get tested.

Getting tested for HIV doesn't make you any less of a person. It actually makes you a hero!

Talk to a doctor or sexual health counselor if you need to learn about HIV.

Ohio Woman Attacks Man: Forgot To Tell Him She's HIV Positive!

Chewanna Henderson ruins holidays! Ohio woman stabs man after fight! She didn't tell the man she was HIV-positive and he slept with her!
Leftovers from the holiday!

This story once again gives Blacks and Hispanics a bad name. This story will agitate the conservative/White supremacy forums. This will make the case to paint Blacks as "sexually crazed monsters" and the like. This invites the extremists to use NIGGER!

Of course the word salad will be accompanied by an Obama name drop or two.

As much as I talk about issues, one issue that is major is HIV. The deadly disease is another tragedy! Many Americans contract the disease from sexual contact, sharing uncleaned needles, blood transfusions and from mother to child.

Human immunodeficiency virus infection / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a disease of the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

During the initial infection a person may experience a brief period of influenza-like illness. This is typically followed by a prolonged period without symptoms. As the illness progresses it interferes more and more with the immune system, making the person much more likely to get infections, including opportunistic infections, and tumors that do not usually affect people who have working immune systems.

HIV is transmitted primarily via unprotected sexual intercourse, (including anal and even oral sex), contaminated blood transfusions, hypodermic needles, and from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding.

Some bodily fluids, such as saliva and tears, do not transmit HIV. Prevention of HIV infection, primarily through safe sex and needle-exchange programs, is a key strategy to control the spread of the disease.

There is no cure or vaccine; however, antiretroviral treatment can slow the course of the disease and may lead to a near-normal life expectancy. While antiretroviral treatment reduces the risk of death and complications from the disease, these medications are expensive and may be associated with side effects.

We have to keep spreading the world to Beat AIDS. The disease kills thousands of people. But if you contracted the disease, it's not a "death sentence!" You can live a healthy life and still have the disease. You can still have sex and raise children. But it's just a risky move for those to practice sex without protection.

Strap it up! Keep the rubber on if you don't want it or an unexpected childbirth.

If you have an addiction to heroin and you use needles, please take precautions not to share your needles and clean them out frequently. Heroin is a class felony that could land you in prison for years.

Over in Cincinnati, Ohio, a woman is arrested for assaulting her partner with a kitchen knife (after she told the partner that she's HIV positive). I don't buy the partner stuff, the man picked up a HIV-positive prostitute. The stuff happens! You're human! But still the risk is there and the man took it!

Chewanna Henderson, 33, of Anderson Township, is accused of two counts of felonious assault. She allegedly engaged in sexual conduct with a man but failed to tell him that she tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, Hamilton County court records show. And she’s accused of attacking him with a kitchen knife Friday.

Henderson faces two additional charges, theft and escape, stemming from her arrest Saturday. Police allege Henderson grabbed officers’ handcuff keys, unlocked her handcuffs and tried to flee but an officer stopped her, court records say.

In a sworn written statement, Lincoln Heights Police Sgt. Jesse J. Green said Henderson told him “she did not notify (the man) that she was (HIV-positive) because he bought her a puppy and gave her somewhere to stay.”

Green alleges that Henderson and the man got into an argument Friday about “friends that came to the residence,” and Henderson “picked up a knife from the kitchen counter and stabbed (the man) in the back left side of the head.”

On Monday, a judge set Henderson’s bail at $77,500. Her next court date is today!

Henderson becomes the latest local person charged with felonious assault for allegedly withholding a positive HIV diagnosis from a sex partner.

A former Ohio wrestler, Andre Davis is spending over thirty years in prison for not telling his multiple partners about his HIV status.
