Way to Go, POZ Magazine!

INTRODUCING POZ: Blige, Magic, Sharpton Team Up for HIV Magazine for Black Community.

New York – Breaking new ground in the fight against AIDS – and in media – the trailblazing monthly magazine POZ has become the first national consumer magazine to publish an entire issue on HIV for the black community.

With chart-topper and AIDS activist Mary J. Blige on its cover, the special issue explores the unique cultural, political, and medical issues affecting the black community around AIDS – from the critical role black churches are playing in combating AIDS to the taboo topic of men who have sex with both women and men “on the down low.”

The POZ special issue also features exclusive interviews with Blige, Magic Johnson, Democratic presidential candidate Al Sharpton, and hip-hop star Keith Murray, who talks candidly about how he lost both his mother and his 15-year old sister to AIDS.

Founded in 1994, POZ is the leading national news, information, and entertainment magazine for people affected by HIV and AIDS. More than 200,000 copies of the special issue will be made available free of charge to black churches, community groups, AIDS services organizations, and at special events nationwide.

I gotta give it up to POZ for makin' this special issue. Even though this disease has been around for quite some time, you can never not get enough info on it! Good Work, POZ!
