Know Your Status

Why is it that we are so mature to have sex, but so immature or closed off to getting tested. We are in a new year, a new age with so many consequences that can come from sexual pleasure. So many harmful diseases and infections out, why not know if your health is A1? I will guide you on how to find FREE places to get tested, and know your status.

1 in every 8 Americans are living with HIV. That is more than 1.2 million. (aids.gov) Florida is one of the biggest states known for people having HIV and Syphilis. We can help these numbers go down by being aware.

We all tend to almost give too much trust to our partners from jump. Just assumptions that they are clean, and get tested. There is nothing wrong with making a date out of getting tested with your partner before getting intimate. If your partner puts you down about wanting to get tested with them, then they probably 1. have something or 2. aren't mature enough to get your loving body. This is not to say that you may not slip up and have a one night stand or some crazy shit, but make sure to go get tested RIGHT after the crazy night, or DAY. 

I found a dope place in downtown area called The Center. They are a LGBT organization that offer FREE TESTING for the public. Everyday they offer FREE HIV and Hepatitis C testing. Then on Monday's from 11am-5pm they offer FREE gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, also the HIV and hep c are still available. Heads up be there early on Monday's, the wait can be pretty long. 

I hope this shines light on how normalized knowing your status should be. If you are still a bit more of a private person, I know someone who does it in private. She has an office where she will test you for HIV and syphilis FOR FREE in the privacy of her office. Contact me if you want her information to make an appointment.

Health is wealth. We get one life, enjoy it with whom you please. Just make sure you are being safe in doing so. Not only for your sake, but for others too. Let us find out more ways on how to bring down numbers for all these STDs and STIs. Also want to say that even if you do have an STD or STI you can still live a regular life. The Center has people and classes to go to that can educate you on doing so. Thank you all for the great support every week. I am always open to recieving positive and negative feedback. Remember to always, Love and allow to be loved. Xo
