If you know me you know I love all things Black especially HBCU's.... I think the best of them are in New Orleans. Yall know I am all things Fair Dillard/ Dillard University!!!!!

I gotta, gosta, and must also show some love to Xavier University of Louisiana!!! Since moving back to New Orleans, the work in and around HIV has been my goal and mission. Xavier University has been a major part of me doing this work.

There is an initiative called Louisiana Can which is housed at Xavier University. I could say so much more but why would I when I can share this link and this video....

Real quick…..

We are in the last weekend of the summer. Getting it on and in will be the menu for the weekend.

By all means… GET YOUR LIFE!!!

A few reminders.

U=U means for ANYONE living with HIV, if your viral load is suppressed then you’re at your best. Go on and swing from chandeliers or bump uglies.

Prep = means you already taking a option every day (if it’s a pill) or every other month (if this an injectable.) Please remember to maintain your schedule and you too can swing from chandeliers while getting it on.

Pep = you’re not on prep. You swapped DNA’s and maybe you found out they are HIV positive. You have 72 hours from the point of entry to get in a medical pill regiment for 28 days. Go to the ER and get this prescription!!!!! Ask for what the nurse, cop, or doctor when they get stuck with a needle and not sure about their health.

Doxy-prep: this keeps the STD’s away. Try to to get this after you read this message if you plan on having barrier free s*x.

Here is the biggest one. Share this post.

Gay
Straight
Bis*xual
