There is a high HIV infection rate in the black community. Of the 1 million people living with HIV in the United States of America today, almost half are black. In the USA, the estimated lifetime risk of becoming infected with HIV is 1 in 16 for black males, and 60% of the women diagnosed with AIDS are black, despite blacks only composing 13% of the population. Taking a look at the country's capital, 50.7% of the population in Washington(District of Columbia) is African American, and correspondingly, 3% of the total population has HIV or AIDS. Among African American males in the the prison population, HIV infection is rampant. In the state of Georgia, for example, 86% of the prisoners who tested positive for HIV were black. source: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5515a1.htm Why should I care? AIDS is a disease and can spread. Even if you are not planning on having sex with a black person, it is possible you may have sex with someone else who has. If you are a woman, roughly 1 out of 4 rapes against whites in the USA are comitted by a black perpetrator. Frequency and Nature of Interracial Crimes, William Wilbanks, submitted for publication to the Justice Professional (November 7, 1990) Who deserves the blame? A widespread culture that does not value monogamy does not help, but not all blacks infected with HIV are to blame. It is a certain segment of the black population that goes around shamelessly spreading the disease to everyone else within the community that is mostly responsible. In no way should the higher rates of AIDS be interpreted that African American people are "bad". This is a serious medical problem in the USA and needs to be solved appropriately. Selectively discounting the facts because they may be "racist" is detrimental to public health and the safety of society.
the whole AIDS thing is a scam,if you look,use common sense and listen to the top PhD's and M.D.'s from the top learning institutions in the world ,who are censored,hundreds of them,from publishing a simple paper challenging the AIDS scam.. You should watch this video.... a couple points of fact.....while all other known viruses are isolated,purified(among other things,and then photographed under electron microscope,then archived as a known virus..................THE only thing you will see in medical journals,and related material is an artist rendition,or a computer generated image Once your body develops an anti-body,you are immune to the virus,oddly enough,the HIV test doesnt test for the virus,lolol,it tests for the antibody,which gives you immunity. It is really simple,what you really need to know is how the medical system has come under complete control going back to the early 1900's through the Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations....it is a bit unreal,but true non the less.

Is this some type of sick joke (maybe I just cannot detect the sarcasm), or do you really believe this utter nonsense?
Actually there does indeed exist some legitimate controversy over the nature of AIDS. The establishment refuses to recognise the dissenting views of the small minority because it is feared that this could severely hinder AIDS education and prevention efforts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIDS_denialism
Actually providing indisputable "proof" that HIV exists is actually much more complicated than one may first assume. http://www.ourcivilisation.com/aids/hivexist/ Suffice to say that most researchers are confident that there is enough evidence to show the HIV exists. http://www.otherhealth.com/homeopathy-discussion/7804-does-aids-exist.html I myself side with the majority that believes AIDS exists, but at the same time, I would still be very distrusting of the studies funded by the pharmaceutical corporations, including any research done by researchers in academia who have recieved grant money from these corporations. Unfortunately, this narrows out most of the research! Many people that have tested positive for HIV have died after they refused treatment, but there are also some people who have continued to live for many years without treatment.
Ssshhh. That would be racist. Stop picking on the poor blacks. You know they do not have the capability to defend themselves. Go pick on somebody else that can... (hint: ADL, NJDC )
As scary as it sounds... there was an article in a local 'underground' newspaper recently that reported within one inner-city community that's primarily black... over 60% of black females between the ages of 15-18 are HIV+. Unless we wake up and get back to teaching prevention, I'm afraid we're going to lose a whole generation of young black people. BTW, not looking for sympathy or discussion... but I have a gay step-brother who's in the final stages of AIDS. I can assure you it's a very real disease.
technology is catching up but its only for the rich as magic johnson had HIV AIDS for 20 years and his medical costs are very expensive and others die because they can't afford the treatment prevention will not help they have to either get the health care system to share costs so everyone gets the care of the rich or make the medicine cheaper for poor blacks
My brother has no money and has never been turned down for medical assistance. His expensive drugs are provided by non-profit charities. They've kept him alive for years now. Prevention means not having risky sex... not even once. That's the message that should be spread around -- not you only get AIDS because you're poor. That's hogwash.
Japan has one of the lowest infection rates, less than .01%. It's cultural. We just shun everyone who has it. They're disgusting people.
Between abortion & AIDS, you'd think the herd would be thining, wouldn't ya? On the other hand, they're usually obsessed with sex and defend murderers, so I guess it's a wash.
Personal responsibility is the main ingredient lacking in too many tragic cases when people have ruined their lives when it could have easily been prevented. Having said that though, none of us are perfect. It has to be said, that not all cases of people contracting aids are atributable to a lack of reasonable care.
not all AIDs victims get access to charities that is why the poor ones die sooner than the rich ones in the US, the solution is a government system where everyone shares the expensive costs of AIDS care prevention is bad because people want to have relations and they want it like everyone else does in safer richer communities where AIDS isn't a problem because protection does not feel good just because blacks are often victimized in poor communities where HIV is rampant doesn't mean they have to be discriminated against in how they do relations or what otherwise means 'prevention'
Their percentage of the population is decreasing. They used to constitute 13% of the populace. Now the percentage has declined below that. Abortion has really put a dent in their population.
Personal responsibility is almost everything, but not the total issue. The emphasis on sex in America says having sex is more important than being shunned by all your peers for being irresponsible.
aggghhh,,,I hope I do not hear.....'''Lets pour millions into education with them!!!'' It will do as much good as the single Mother birth rates,,,sadly to say....The parents seem to help the kids with this as much as everything else,,,,0
It's worse than that, fishman. Our society's under so much pressure to 'accept' the lil darlins' gayness... it's politically incorrect to even bring up a subject like AIDS! We're not just failing to educate, we're actually sweeping the issue under the rug so nobody has to look at it. I don't have an answer... just pointing out it's a huge problem. Gay men should be advocating HIV prevention programs but they're too busy trying to get married. One crisis at a time, I guess.
