TheBody.com has updated its African-American HIV/AIDS Resource Center with new, amazing personal stories, special reports and useful resources!

Whether you're recently diagnosed, a long-time HIV survivor, an HIV advocate, a prevention expert or a person who cares for somebody living with HIV, our revamped African-American HIV/AIDS Resource Center is the best place on the Web to turn for community, information and guidance.

Here's a small taste of what the newly updated center has to offer:

One-on-One With Lois Crenshaw, Diagnosed at 55
As a 17-year veteran of the Chicago police department and the mother of eight children, Lois Crenshaw knows how to roll with the punches. That may be why, despite being shocked by an HIV diagnosis at the age of 55 after she'd been raped, Lois has become a leader and a role model for older women with HIV. Her moving interview is one of more than two dozen inspiring stories featuring HIV-positive African Americans!
