Young, Beautiful & HIV Positive

While African-Americans make up only 13 percent of the United States' population, they account for almost half of the people who contract HIV and are diagnosed with AIDS.

If you didn't think HIV could happen to YOU.... then listen to Marvelyn Brown's story....


Marvelyn Brown, 24 year old author and HIV activist, works to educate people about the virus and dispel any stereotypes and negative stigmas associated with the disease. To learn more about Ms. Brown and her experience with the HIV check out her book "The Naked Truth: Young, Beautiful and (HIV) Positive."

Remember people, educate and protect yourself at all times. HIV doesn't just happen to people that are gay, promiscuous or drug addicts....it happens to everyday people like me and you.

HIV is a choice....you make the decision.
