Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) May 25, 2005
Author and Publisher Caroline McGill releases her first novel and joins the Saving Our Selves AIDS Awareness Campaign to help confront and educate the black community about the alarming HIV/AIDS epidemic. By penning this semi-autobiography, A Dollar Outta Fifteen Cent on Synergy Publications (ISNB:0-9752980-3 $14.95), McGill shares the harsh realities of discovering the deadly AIDS virus in your own backyard. “We as African American women are too smart and too beautiful to be ignorant about the risk of unprotected sex. We must be educated and get tested,” states Caroline McGill
A passage from the book reads: Portia kept up with the news, so she knew that all across the world, young black women were dying from AIDS faster than any other demographic. Afraid of becoming a statistic, she went ahead and did it. In the last eight months, she and Jay got tested twice, and each yielded a negative result, thank God.
As a divine sisterhood black women need to start speaking up and speaking out on HIV/AIDS. We must protect our lives and to do this, we have to use protection EVERY time we’re involved with a man sexually. It’s not about letting it slide this one time, nor is it about “ the feeling” either because every time we’re intimate with someone, we put ourselves at risk for contracting HIV/AIDS. It’s crucial that we hold one another accountable for getting tested. I commend Caroline McGill on taking the initiative. I hope other woman of color will follow suit and become involved in educating our children and community about HIV/AIDS awareness,” exclaims Hardy founder of the S. O. S. AIDS Awareness Campaign
