Celebs Talk About HIV Testing

Yesterday was the Center For Disease Control’s National HIV Testing Day. Black people count for 45 percent of new HIV cases and 51 percent of annual AIDS-related deaths, so The Root rounded up some black celebrities and asked them about getting tested. Real Housewives of Atlanta and Good Hair star Derek J Says: “No matter how safe you play it, you should get tested annually along with your annual physical. It’s very relieving to know your status.”
