Ronnie Kroell Talks About HIV/AIDS Because...

The New York City Council, together with HIV/AIDS organizations across the five boroughs, has launched a YouTube-based HIV/AIDS awareness campaign that began on World AIDS Day, December 1st, 2009. It can be found at Why talk about HIV/AIDS to the people in your life? We know that open and honest conversations can prevent new HIV infections and reduce the stigma attached to people living with HIV/AIDS. And because every 9½ minutes an American is infected with HIV, we need to educate ourselves and others about the virus. Join the conversation. Share why you talk about HIV/AIDS to the people in your life and why this is important to you. Visit to see more videos and to find out how to start the conversation.
