#DININGOUTFORLIFE

More than 1.6 million people in the US are living with HIV infection, and almost 1 in every 6 people are unaware of their infection. About 1 in 4 new HIV infections are among youth 13-24 years old and most of them don't know they are infected, are not being treated, and can unknowingly pass the virus on to others. Although gay and bisexual men of all races are primarily affected by the disease, African American men bare the burden the most.
That's a lot of statistics to take in right? Right. But it's reality. "Dining Out For Life" is a night dedicated to raising funds for those affected by AIDS/HIV. Hundreds of restaurants across the country have signed on for one night to donate a percentage (in some cases all) of the cost of your meal to help provide things like medication, transportation, and services needed to treat those affected by the virus and spread awareness. 
This season of Scandal is finally over so you won't be missing anything this Thursday night.

Grab a buddy and #knowyourstatus.
