Alicia Keys wants to change the way YOU think about HIV. The singer-songwriter and activist has teamed up with the Greater Than Organization to bring awareness to the issue of women and HIV in America.
There are more than 1 million people are living with HIV in America and 1 in 4 are women. Alicia sat down with 5 women that are living with the virus and listens as they shared their stories. Check out the inspiring video above.

Scary. These women look like me. OMG we need some help here . 1 in 4 women HIV yikes!
No offense but who else would you believe them to look like? HUMANS get HIV so if you are human understand that is what YOU look like.
Women and I say this especially to my Black sistahs…….Be very afraid of any man that’s been to prison because the prison culture treats homosexuality as if it’s not anything that is practiced once these men leave confinement but many do practice it on the DL once they leave prison.My uncle works at a prison and he told me that NO MATTER how straight a man appears that have wives/girlfriends visiting him that once they leave that man is with a man and many of the wives would be very SHOCK to see how that strong tatted man turn into a QUEEN.
Of course HIV is the result of ANY UNPROTECTIVE sex whether it’s straight/bi/ gay or otherwise . For you all who are ignorant enough to believe that only gays get HIV you had better think again because for ALL of you that stay with a spouse/companion or otherwise that CHEAT and you get with them sexually UNPROTECTED, understand that you have put yourself at risk as anyone else has because all it takes is ONE risk to be come HIV positive…….Understand that it’s NOT EVEN CUTE to go back and forth with the other man or woman because that is the LEAST of your issues…
One of those ladies you’re talking about is my best friend. They don’t look like aliens or zombies…??!?!
I am happy to see someone in Hollywood out their addressing this
I am proud that Alicia Keys is putting the extra attention to the HIV/AIDS crisis. People really are ignorant to who is being affected by HIV and AIDS. It needs to be spoken about more and publicized more especially to the youth.
I just love Alicia Keyes because she is one of the FEW artists that cares about people outside of herself. She is indeed a woman of substance!
I am glad she is bringing attention to the issues of AIDS in America. I remember my math teacher in middle school dying of AIDS. The stigma surrounding this disease is preventing us from squashing it out completely. We don’t have to live with this. Use condoms! Get regularly tested. If these men don’t want to wear a condom don’t let them stick their penis in you. PERIOD.
Alicia Keys is everywhere these days….I wonder which causes she actually sincerely supports and is interested in….anything to generate publicity….at least it’s better than seeing her roll around on top of a piano while pregnant…she and amber rose have alot in common….desperate
Exactly. She is a corporate prostitute and a willing pawn. That is why she calls herself a “girl on fire”. In other words, she is enlightened. If you track the theme of the singles from her more recent albums, she has taken her fans/followers on her journey of “enlightenment” from a closeted hoodrat le$bian to a mainstream, cleaned up, hoodrat le$bian satanist lol. These celebrities make millions duping people with these alleged “foundations”, and their labels and corporate backers cultivate an image for them by aligning them with causes that do not exist, like the “fight against HIV”.
alicia keyes is not enlightened……and far, far, from it…..she needs to buy a clue, vowel and consonant………………..take that crap somewhere else!
why is her name last keyes? is that her birth name….is she related to francis scott key?????? what a gimmick!
There are “1 million” people living with HIV in America and “1 in 4″ are women according to these “stats” lol? So that means that 3 in 4 must be men, children, or extraterrestrials. Maybe there should be more attention brought to that demographic since that’s the majority of entities with HIV according to this stat….unless this is another subliminal method to push the female victimization mentality.
I love Alicia Keys for using her celebrity for causes greater than herself and to see someone with genuine passion advocating against the stigma is awesome. I love it!
Well if you say so….but I for one am going with the majority on this…and I’m not buying it!
I’m empowered by these women… We need to open up about this you all especially in the black community
