STIs Explained: HIV and AIDS
Since today, June 27, is National HIV Testing Day, I thought I could dispel some myths and lay out the facts about HIV and AIDS. It is a serious issue so let's get down to business.
HIV - the human immunodeficiency virus - is a virus that kills your body’s "CD4 cells," (also called T-helper cells), that help your body fight off infection and disease.
Off the Mat, Into the World
When AIDS was first detected in 1984, there were 41 reported cases in th U.S. And now, 23 years later, more than 40 million people are infected worldwide.

Do you travel with a first aid kit?
Recent natural disasters have persuaded me to have a first aid kit in my car. Not only is a kit great to have around in any emergency (major or minor), my first aid kit provides a peace of mind knowing that I will be prepared if something were to happen. Most often used element of my kit: antiseptic wipes and band aids!
