This past weekend marked the fourth annual Hip Hop for HIV concert in Houston, Texas. Thousands of young people from the area go through an intensive four hours of HIV educaiton sessions. At the end of the day, they learn their status and are treated to a congratulatory concert with some big names in hip hop. This concert has been growing every year. More youth are finding this an incentive to learn more about this epidemic that kills thousands of their peers each year.
What do you think about efforts like the Hip Hop for HIV concert? Should more events like this occur throughout the country to encourage young adults to learn about HIV and their personal statuses?
