Today I'm celebrating the Red Pump project, an initiative started by Karyn of The Fabulous Giver and Luvvie of Awesomely Luvvie. Bloggers around the country are using their blogs to get the word out about Women and AIDS.
The day is actually National National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. I feel like this day is especially important for African American women, because the statistics tell a sad story. Women represent 27% of all new AIDS diagnoses, and African-American women account for 66% of that group.
I have actually never knowingly met an African American woman who had HIV/AIDS. Have you? Have you reached out to help this cause?
I haven't ever knowingly met an African American woman who had HIV/AIDS so I don't know about that statistic. Unless it is based off of Afica's population. That would make more sense to me.
