Did You Know...

A DC study of 500 gay men found that HIV prevalence among Black gay men 30 years old and older was 32% and the rate for men under 30 was 12%.  Yet, the Black gay men in the study reported using condoms 50% more than the white gay men.  Sexual active Black gay men in the District should get a HIV test at least three or four (3 - 4) times a year.  Us Helping Us provides free HIV counseling and testing, Monday thru Friday, 10 am to 5 pm.  Call 202 446-1100 for more information.
