Kelly Rowland to Take HIV Test for Charity

Kelly is traveling to Nairobi to get tested for HIV in the hopes of encouraging the youth of the country to do the same. She’s doing this in conjunction with MTV’s Staying Alive Foundation which aims to tackle discrimination against HIV and AIDS victims. Kelly says, "Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to HIV infection, and it is important for everyone to know their HIV status. The quicker you know your status, the sooner you can receive treatment if you're HIV+, and reduce the risk of inadvertently infecting future partners." Source
You know what would be great? If we could get folks in the US of A to take HIV tests. Though Africa has been ravaged by this deadly disease its affecting people all over the world..and here at home as well.
