The Movie: Invisible

I am so very concerned about the underlying message that this movie is promoting and the "boogie-man" syndrome that it helps to perpetuate.....its stomach turning. I believe that people who continue to compartmentalize their issues and seek to point the finger at others are helping to continue the ignorance.....and it is THAT [ignorance] which is killing this community. The fact that people are always going to be under the assumption that, only "those people" are likely to contract it....and that if I am not one of "those" or sleep with one of "those" then I am less likely to contract it.

DOWN LOW is a viral term that is infecting this community at almost the same rate as HIV. People cheating on their partners, not protecting themselves, knowing their own status, and not being honest with themselves and their partners are what is driving HIV. Not some mysterious phenomenon people refer to as "DL".
