Many people believe that they are protected by the white picket fence of suburbia.
But the truth is, anyone can become a victim of AIDS.

Tanya, an African -American female has been living with AIDS for seven years. She is only 21 years old. When she was fourteen, she went to one of her cousin's birthday party. Tanya ended up falling asleep p in one of the upstairs' bedrooms. She awoke to being gang raped by four guys whom all happened to be over the age of nineteen. To add to contracting HIV, she also became pregnant from the ordeal.
Tye is Asian-American and 27 years old. His story, like Tanya's involves him contracting AIDS through no fault of his own. Tye is homosexual and has been in a committed same-sex relationship for the past year. HE got HIV only two and a half years ago when he was leaving a bar one night. He was at his usual hangout, a gay night club, when two guys approached him about having a "good time." Tye was intoxicated and he left the club with those two men. They drove him three blocks away from he club, took him into a dark alley, and beat the living daylights out of him. The two men who were looking for a good time were looking to kill a homosexual. Before they left him for dead, they took a hypodermic needle from the alley floor and stabbed him in his neck. Tye is happy to be alive.
