CDC: HIV cases increase for gay men, decline for Black women. "Between 2008 and 2010, the number of newly infected black women dropped 21 percent, according to the CDC report.

But the point of the song is the importance of living every day to the fullest and staying young at heart, and these are things I truly believe."
