Embracing each day...this is what Sherri Lewis has learned to do. In the 80's she was riding around in limo's and had a hit record. Things started falling apart. Her label folded, she lost her manager and she turned to drugs. Then she found out that she had contracted HIV. Now she is sober and instead of letting the disease get her down, she is helping others who have contracted HIV. Sherri is also pushing for prevention. She runs support groups on the streets and teaches HIV education to high school and college students.
Some people may forget that HIV/AIDS is still a major epidemic in the United States not just in other countries. Education for prevention and support for those who are infected is still very important. This is what Sherri Lewis is trying to accomplish.
