Snow did not know when he recorded this footage around 11:00 p.m. in Bangkok, Thailand on Wednesday, August 25, 2010, that we was in fact going to create a series, an idea that came to him in the following hours.

In the premiere episode, Snow also updates the viewers about the worldwide momentum of his music video campaign. "'The Power To Be Strong' song and music video campaign has been created to reach millions of people around the world about the importance of voluntary HIV counseling & testing and increased adherence to safer sex, and to empower the valiant efforts of any organization or individual participating anywhere in the battle against HIV/AIDS."

@hunkhk Thank you for taking the time to view and respond to this video. I will include your comment and respond to it more fully in an upcoming episode of my show, but the short answer is that my public awareness campaign in various forms as reached hundreds of thousands of people worldwide about the importance of HIV testing and safer sex and a key point in this video that you find so offensive is that 1) because I have been tested, 2) I know I need to take ARV's. Again, thank you.

This sucks get off your ego trip and quit the drama no one gives am shit if you take your arv or not millions of others go through the same routine every day - so what is your point?meaningless self promotion! There are millions more who have no access to treatment. This is quite ridiculous and insulting to those who manage living with HIV without making a song and dance about it.

@forloveoffilm... I have already taped episode 2 which will be uploaded tomorrow Bangkok time. I would like to encourage you and anyone else who wants to comment on this series to go to this forums section at ActionEqualsLife where most of the discussion will be taking place. I will continue to respond to viewers in my ongoing program.

@ActionEqualsLife I look forward to hearing your justifications. Taking pills is nothing compared to the 7-year old who must INJECT themselves daily due to diabetes. Those children are victims of an uncaring food industry forcing corn sweetener on the public. HIV is something we allowed to happen to us in spite of our better judgements. I've lived over half my life with the virus I permitted to invade me. I've no one to blame but myself. I own it, part and parcel and I've learned to love it too.

@forloveoffilm Thank you for your comment. I will respond to your implied question, "Why are you making such a big deal drama out of taking pills," in episode number two of the series. Have a great day!

Billions of people are and have been taking medicine for HIV for over a quarter of a centruy already. Most of us who do the 'cocktail' don't make a big deal of it, nor do we allow ourselves to be slaves to a clock or timer. When we eat our evenin meal we take a pill (or 8) I don't know why you are making such a big deal drama out of taking pills. "Ain't no big thing" as Grace Jones once said long ago.
