Too busy doing other far more important things, I guess. Homophobia: that's why there is this whole "down low" cultural phenomenon in the community. Openly gay or bisexual people are stigmatized, so they hide it and don't admit that they occasionally engage in buttsex with other men. They lie about it, and because they lie about it, stuff gets passed around. Untreated/Undiagnosed STDs: well, if they don't admit they have them or see a doctor, they can't very well be diagnosed or treated. Lack of Quality Healthcare: when they never go see a doctor, they obviously are lacking quality healthcare. Hello and/or duh. They're lacking any healthcare whatsoever. Late Testing: by the time the anal herpes has gotten bad enough for them to come to the ER, yes, the HIV has been there a while. This is why you should see a doctor more regularly, sugar. Mass Incarceration: a whole lot of buttsex going on in there, and since being a spunk receptacle is one of the easiest ways to catch it, TA-DA!!! All of those factors could be avoided by personal responsibility, but that doesn't make for a very sympathetic story, now does it? |

Title of an article on CNN homepage today. From: The Body website(www.the body.com/content/65639). Someone with better computer skills than I might want to hotlink this article! Anyhow, article listed the following 11 reasons for the extremly high numbers of HIV/AIDS in the black community. 1. Poverty 2. Injection Drug Use (not what you think!) 3.Gender Inequalitty 4.Low Health Literacy 5. Homophobia 6.Untreated and Undiagnosed STD's 7.Lack of Quality Health Care 8.Lack of Comprehensive Sex Education (especially for the LGBT folks) it's Bush's fault... Really! 9.Late Testing (Fault of the medical community) 10. Mass Incarceration 11. Stigma Society is the blame according to the authors of the above. Not a thing was mentioned regarding personal responsibility. Find and read this article. It's interesting and pathetic............. No personal responsibility you can play the victim, play the victim and you can get all sorts of free shit. Play the victim you can do anything you want to with no repercussions coming back on you.

Poverty means lots more money should be spent. Injection Drug Use means free drugs and free needles. Gender Inequality means pass the Equal Rights Amendment and more gay rights. Low Health Literacy means more education funding. Homophobia means more gay rights. Untreated and Undiagnosed STDs means more Obamacare funding. Lack of Quality Health Care means more Obamacare funding. Lack of Comprehensive Sex Education means more education funding and gay propaganda for kids. Late Testing means more Obamacare funding. Mass Incarceration means releasing Black felons. Stigma means it is all the fault of straight white males and their political allies. Quite an agenda. |

The largest unintended consequence of the war on drugs is the rise of HIV in African American communities. Generally, once people start having sex, they don't stop (unless they get married, ha!). An 18-22 year old AA male is more likely to be in a cell than a dorm room.
The AA community shuns homosexuals. That encourages these double lives. Ultimately, the actions of the individuals are responsible for the transmission of HIV. But, the factors listed in the article are true. I've worked in the field of HIV medicines for over a decade, and I worked for the court system before that. Condoms are contraband in many prisons. To prevent the spread of the virus, it would help if they were available. Rubber gloves are stolen for this purpose. In research, I've seen inmates say a glove is good for ten encounters if turned inside out. The things I've heard, read, and seen would make most of the people here totally sick. |
