On December 2, 2010, a host of celebrities gave up their digital lives in order to raise money and awareness for Keep A Child Alive and World AIDS Day.

Among those celebrities are Kim Kardashian , Lady Gaga , Ellen DeGeneres and Usher , and a lot more. Since promising [...]

It was raining and looking like a monsoon here on the East coast earlier today, but regardless of any inclement weather, the sunshine has finally come out: all over the World today it is World AIDS Day . There have been all kind of events plotted and organized to be geared toward remembering those afflicted with HIV/AIDS from those who have passed, to those who are still here, as well as the family and friends who support them and hold them dear.

It's not often that my day gig intersects with my scribblings here at MOKB, but seeing as today is the twenty-second annual World AIDS Day , I would be seriously negligent in not saying a little something. There is still no "cure" for or viable vaccine against HIV, hence there is no cure for AIDS. Not even for Magic Johnson. While medications and ambitious public health policies are helping make inroads against the disease in the developing world, men who have sex with men remain at the greatest risk for HIV infection in the United States. But lest you [...]

Yeah, I could've posted this earlier with the songs but it deserved its own post and I'll use any reason to throw up one of the many stockpiled photographs I have of Alicia . Then again, I wanted to post this the other day but I'm a conscientious objector to inserting multiple Youtubeys in a post. Some wise one who wanted me to share must have read my mind & managed to raise the limits to allow the full concert broadcast of her performance @ NYC's Nokia Theatre for World AIDS Day on 12.01.09.

Alicia Keys gave an arousing World AIDS Day concert, live-streamed from NYC's Nokia Theatre . She performed songs from the past and present and even a new one from the future. "Distance and Time," set to appear on The Element of Freedom must be the next single because... DAMN! that caught us like "Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart" has.

Good Morning to our BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast Family, Today is officially the 21st official World AIDS Day. HIV infection and AIDS are still making a terrible impact all over the world even with the numerous advances in prevention, research and medical treatments and still strikes Communities of Color and Women in the United States and beyond very harshly. In this day and age, there should be absolutely NO reason why folks are not getting tested regularly not just for AIDS, but for ALL STDs as soon as possible. [...]

Vi ricordate di "Lhuna", il tanto misterioso duetto inciso da Chris Martin dei Coldplay e Kylie Minogue ? SoundsBlog ve ne ha parlato più volte negli ultimi mesi, sapevamo che c'era, che esisteva, ma nessuno era in grado di dare notizie certe su una sua eventuale pubblicazione. La traccia era stata esclusa da " Viva la vida " prima e " Prospekt's March " poi, ufficialmente per incompatibilità di stile ed atmosfere col resto delle tracklist . Non si sapeva più se sto'benedetto pezzo avrebbe mai visto la luce, insomma. Almeno [...]

HIV/AIDS has been a global epidemic for more than 27 years. Most of today's youth have never known a world without it. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently published national HIV incidence (new infections) that showed much higher numbers that previous estimates. The time is now. Together, we can prevent the spread of this pandemic – through awareness, care, prevention, education and research. "HIV/AIDS has now become a pandemic that has literally put the world at risk, affecting diverse populations in different ways". –Dr. Nora Volkow, NIDA Director On December 1st, individuals and organizations will [...]
