Hip Hop for Hiv Awareness

For about 5 years to my knowledge, may have been longer, Houston's best Hip Hop radio station helps put on this Hip Hop for Hiv concerts.  This to me was one of those ideas that sounds good on paper, but in reality I think it's kind of weird.  How it works is for about a month or so there are different HIV testing locations around the city of Houston, and people go to these testing cites, get tested for HIV, get there results and get a ticket to a concert.  My two younger brothers 19, and 17 are faithful Hip Hop for Hiv goers.  I get the thinking behind this especially with today's economy.  The only way to get a ticket is to get tested, unless you some one who had the test sell their ticket.  They can't be purchased so it doesn't cost any money.  The concerts normally have pretty good artists.  Most of them have held a top spot on The Box countdown, many local artists that have received air time from the radio stations.  Some name performers before they are really big also take part in this event.  This year up and coming artist Kirko Bangz performed.  He's a Houston native who's first single "What Yo Name Iz" song appeared on 106 and Park, that was a pretty big accomplishment because it's been a while since a Houston artist have been recognized on a national level.  Along with him were others, but he was the biggest Houston person.  All in all, several people show up for this concert, therefore several people know there status about HIV.  I just have mixed feelings about get tested for HIV in a gym or at a mall with several other people, it just doesn't seem too sanitary, and it always leave me with the question...if you find out that you are HIV positive, do you still go to the concert?
