If actor Charlie Sheen’s announcement of his positive HIV status has woken you up to the disease still running rampant in our communities then congratulations. Yet HIV/AIDS is still very prominent right here in Brooklyn, New York. Just in Brooklyn alone there were a total of 820 new HIV cases in 2012, according to City Data.

I had to bold it, so you get it.

Recently, Brooklyn non-profit Bringing Access to Care Inc., in a ceremony hosted by Hot 97’s Lisa Evers, to benefit supportive housing programs for persons living with HIV & AIDS, honored Brooklyn’s latin queen, actress and AIDS Activist, Rosie Perez for her continuous fight in raising awareness about the harmful disease. Perez, who is also on President Barack Obama’s advisory council on HIV and AIDS, helped the organization raise about $15,000  at their World AIDS Day event this past Tuesday.

Perez recently sat down with Huffington Post and talked about receiving her honorary award. “It feels humbling. A lot of people fight the fight on the national level and worldwide level, we forget about the local level,” Perez says.

Congrats to Rosie and all fighting the great fight.
