Nelson Mandela
Of the many many causes and goals he had professed in life, his fight against the HIV epidemic is one that I want to touch on tonight. It's easier and more private to be tested than ever before. It is painless. And very inexpensive. Many places will do it for free. To put it into perspective below I'm including a song written for Nelson Mandela for his 46664 event several years ago. Remember, a simple test could save your life and the lives of countless others.
In the spirit of his fight, or if you must, as a personal challenge from me, get tested if you haven't been. Be safe. And always respect those you sleep with, whether you love them or not.
