Inner-City Youth Miss HIV Message


To reach young people with the message of HIV prevention, entertainers like Lil’ Wayne are incorporating warnings in their body of work.
“My cyberspace friends don’t care about HIV or AIDS,” says Deniece Kinash, a young multi- racial female volunteer who does HIV outreach on the popular internet social network Myspace (200,000,000 plus members). She said by filling out a simple on-line application, she has unprecedented access  to millions of young members of the  popular cyberspace social networks like Facebook and Myspace. Creating pages that reflect each member’s individual personality is only part of the teenage fad.
Finding compatible members and adding them to your friends is the other part.  Some Myspace stars have hundred of thousands of friends on their pages. Many members play on-line games like ‘Mafia Wars’.
This game  allows you to become a  cyberspace gangsta who can lead your crime family into selling drugs,  prostitution and  any criminal activity you desire. The object is to make cyberspace money. You can shoot and kill other players to further this goal.


When a doctor told me back in 1991 I had HIV, I never thought I would live long enough to witness the election of Barack Hussein Obama as the first Black President of the United States. The President has ushered in a new era in America, one of great hope for people infected and affected by HIV and AIDS. Several pieces of HIV legislation have been introduced across America.
