I like this blog! I think black people should blog to end HIV/AIDS. My name is Alazar and I’m an 11 year old Ethiopian/American and I have a blog to raise awareness that HIV is totally preventable with safe behaviors. It’s growing too fast in the black community and we must end it. I am also trying to raise money for our local AIDS organization. You can see my blog and read about me at: http://ateamfund.wordpress.com/ Thank you! Warmly, Alazar (with dad typing)
