Quick quiz: when was your last HIV test? And where are your condoms?
What? You don’t know?
Don’t worry. I’m not going to lecture you. You don’t want to hear it and I don’t have the time. I will just give you two marching orders:
Order #1 – if you are sexually active, you must always use condoms to prevent sexually transmitted diseases (nasty little buggers) from infecting your body. The only exception to this rule is if you are in a long-term, really committed, monogamous (i.e. no playing around) relationship. Even then, you should think about it. Nah – don’t bother. Just wrap it up.
Order #2 – Get tested. I did it. Senator Barack Obama did it. It’s fast and easy and it’s the righteous thing to do.
Celebrate World AIDS Day by saving your own life. Get tested. Use protection all the time.
