Celebrity blogger and entertainer Perez Hilton is all about self improvement these days. He's made a point of steering his blog away from snarky comments and is refocusing on inspiring others. As a proud member of Team GYT, MTV's Get Yourself Tested campaign, Perez also hopes to inspire young people to take care of their health and know their status! April is STD Awareness month so Perez checked in with MTV to share the latest.

You've taken on celeb news, fashion and even written a book! What's coming up next from Perez?

Being better and doing better! I'm actively working on growing, inspiring, teaching and -- of course, entertaining.

What is your latest obsession, something you love right now that your fans might like to know about?

Kat Graham! I am OBSESSED with her song "Put Your Graffiti On Me."

April is STD Awareness Month. What inspired you to spread awareness on this issue as a member of Team GYT?

Knowing is powerful. Knowing is liberating. Knowing helps you manage fear and doubt. Knowing helps prevention. Knowing is important!

What would you say to people who feel uncomfortable bringing up using using condoms or getting tested with their bf/gf? 

Life is not easy and this is not easy. But just because something isn't easy that doesn't mean you should give up or not try. You matter! Your health matters

If you could go back in time and tell yourself one thing about life or relationships what would it be?

I would tell myself that it will all be alright. That time changes many things. I would tell myself to raise the bar -- for myself and my partners.
