You think about things. Abstinence. Sex. Condoms. Drugs. Monogamy. HIV. Alcohol. Parties. Regrets. Risks. Responsibilities. Choices. Pressures. Down-Low. Boyfriends. Girlfriends. AIDS. The Future. All the risks you take. All the ones you don't. Should you or shouldn't you? Did you or didn't you? You have a story. Real life or fiction. Write it down. Send it in. Your story must be about HIV or AIDS. The characters in your story must be impacted in some way by HIV or AIDS.
