Joe Clair, entertainer and health advocate, visited Syracuse with the Rap It Up Campaign.
Comedian, actor and former VJ Joe Clair (aka Cleezy) brought humor and but also a generous dose of reality to the Southwest Community Center in Syracuse yesterday during the Rap It Up event. He talked about a family member being HIV positive and having to take 30 pills a day for the past 20 years to maintain. At the same time he said, those same medicines can do damage to the body.

“Some of these disease do not have symptoms,” Clair said. “That’s why you need to get tested.”
