Hi Guys!

So a new school year has started and with new school years come new press kits and more Hope's Voice activities. Right now I'm at a NACA (national association of campus activities) conference in Lancaster, PA and it has been going really well aside from a couple of technical difficulties.

I'm really excited for the upcoming school year as it looks to be pretty promising as far as personal growth, organizational growth and community growth.

This is such an important program that we're getting out there and the responses that we've gotten so far have for the most part been extremely responsive and open.

Can you believe that no one under 25 has lived in a world without HIV and yet in the United States they count for half of new infections every year? That's crazy! They have the tools, resources, and infomation available to them... just no one is talking about it anymore.

Hopefully we can start to change that.

If you were a student listening to a presentation on HIV and AIDS prevention, what would be some things that you would find helpful? What would make you change your view on the virus?

Common misconception of the weekend "HIV can go undetected in someone's body for 10 years" The reality is that HIV can be asymptomatic for ten years meaning that someone can be infected and still remain completely healthy for 10+ years but if someone is infected antibodies show up typically within the first 3 months.

Expect more on this front in the near future. If you care to read about my day to day life check out the other slightly more but not really updated journal.
