For 26 years, HIV has devastated Black America. Each day 72 African Americans are newly infected with HIV/AIDS. I acknowledge that each person has a part to play in the eradication of HIV/AIDS in the African American community, and I have the power to effect that change.
Therefore, as a part of the NAACP "72" Initiative, I pledge to:
• Abstain from any and all practices in which I make myself or others vulnerable to contracting the HIV/AIDS virus.
• Get tested for the HIV/AIDS virus.
• Support the initiative to eradicate the HIV/AIDS virus in my community.
LIVE IT, OUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON YOU!
