IMPORTANT INFO!! Did you know???? CDC (CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL) STUDIES INDICATE THAT EVERY 13 SECONDS SOMEONE CONTRACTS HIV/AIDS. 69% of new HIV/AIDS cases are reported by AFRICAN AMERICAN women and girls.
DID you know that African American women and women of color are less likely to insist that a partner(s) use condoms, AND THAT heterosexual women are contacting HIV/AIDS from bi-sexual or DOWN LOW males who do not consider themselves to be "gay", and so neglect to inform their FEMALE partners!!?
WAKE UP PEOPLE!... THE "REPORTED" CASES OF HIV/AIDS REPRESENT ONLY 10%, (OR simply THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG) IN REGARDS TO ACTUAL CASES RUNNING RAMPANT IN THE SEXUALLY ACTIVE POPULATION TODAY!

************************
FOR CONTEMPORARY WOMEN OF COLOR OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM!!
COMMUNICATE IN 2008 !!!
THE DEEPER QUESTION IS...
DO YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST OF YOUR GOD GIVEN POTENTIAL?
IF NOT NOW, THEN WHEN?
VISIT BIGMO'S HOUSE... DO YOU HAVE AN ADDICTIVE PERSONALITY??!!
For the last 4 years we've issued a critical challenge to all takers!!
Address the following:
What excuses do you use that enable you to under-achieve your God given potential? Your God given potential is those gifts and talents you possess but refuse to use fully.
If you are GUILTY of this self-abusive behavior, you know that you do just enough to "get by". You also KNOW all the reason(s) why you do just enough to get by!!
BE TRUTHFUL ABOUT IT!
The other CRITICAL CHALLENGE? BE "FOR REAL" AND ACKNOWLEDGE the fact that -IF you engage in sex with multiple partners, or with someone who has multiple partners, the question becomes WHY IN THE WORLD HAVE YOU PLACED YOURSELF HIGHLY AT RISK FOR CONTRACTING HIV/AIDS??? THE STATISTICS REPRESENT ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. THE FIGURES REPRESENT ONLY TEN PERCENT OF THE ACTUAL EXTENT TO WHICH HIV/AIDS RUNS RAMPANT IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. THE REPORTED FIGURES REPRESENT REPORTED CASES - NOT THE UNDIAGNOSED CASES, OR THE CASES OF "CARRIERS" WHO ARE AFRAID TO BE TESTED, OR THOSE INFECTED WITH THE VIRUS BUT WHO HAVE NO SYMPTOMS, OR CASES WHERE THE VIRUS TAKES 10 YEARS TO SURFACE!!!
UNDERSTAND THIS...THE "REPORTED" CASES OF HIV/AIDS EQUAL JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, IN RELATIONSHIP TO ACTUAL HIV/AIDS CASES RUNNING RAMPANT IN THE SEXUALLY ACTIVE POPULATION!

IF YOU DO THE FOLLOWING, YOU ARE PLAYING A FOOLS GAME WITH A DEADLY KILLER:
1. ENGAGE IN UNPROTECTED SEX WITH A PARTNER THAT ENGAGES IN UNPROTECTED SEX WITH OTHERS WHO ENGAGE IN UNPROTECTED SEX...
2. SHARE NEEDLES FOR INJECTING DRUGS, OR ENGAGE IN UNPROTECTED SEX WITH WITH SOMEONE WHO SHARES NEEDLES FOR INJECTING DRUG
3. IGNORE THE SIGNS THAT YOUR PARTNER MAY BE ON THE "DOWN LOW".
****** SO BE PRO ACTIVE, AND GET YOURSELF TESTED!!!******
