"Besides drugs and gun violence, HIV/AIDS is the next leading cause of deaths in Oakland. My father passed away in 1996 due to the infection, we need to be more aware and knowledable of the actions we take as humans. Wrap it up, that could be me...But then again, it could be you..Get Tested, Know Your Status, And Love Yourself Always!"
