Blacks and HIV
 

I'd heard about this before. But, reading this shocking statistic again today was another wake up call.


#1...Black people make up about 13% of the US population. However, blacks make up 50% of ALL HIV/AIDS cases in the US.

50%!!!!!!


AIDS is the leading cause of death among black women aged 25-34.

Please, someone explain to me why there's such a disparity in HIV cases between whites and blacks in this country. Those statistics suggest that black people:

A.) Engage in riskier behaviors than whites
B.) Endanger themselves more often than whites
C.) Are more susceptible to HIV than whites...

Which is it? Are we to believe than blacks are simply more reckless than whites? I have a difficult time accepting that notion. But, the numbers are evident. One out of every two HIV cases is a black person.

I'm from D.C. The numbers here are even more telling where nearly a quarter of the black men are HIV positive, and almost 10% of the entire population is HIV positive.


HIV is no longer a "gay" disease. However, gay men are especially at risk because of the incidences of unprotected sex. There's a psychology to it.

Think about it. Being gay is still not accepted for the most part. And, black men are especially prone to hide their sexuality to fit society's image of the strong, hyper-masculine male. Therefore, instead of being careful and taking precautions, these gay/bisexual black men have unprotected sex because it prevents them from having to admit they're actually having sex with another man!! On top of that, these men often have girlfriends and wives they regularly sleep with. STDs are transmitted from partner to partner because of their inability and/or refusal to acknowledge what they're doing and who/what they are.

It's funny though. HIV is no longer the death sentence is used to be in the 80s and early 90s. HIV can be treated like any other chronic illness. And, the person who has HIV will live as long as the average person without HIV, barring other illnesses, chronic diseases, or sudden death.

I wish people could get real and stop denying what we ALL KNOW is going on. PEOPLE are having sex. PEOPLE will ALWAYS have sex. And, PEOPLE are not protecting themselves.


Abstinence doesn't save lives.

Safe sex does.

i know so many black freaks

and phreaks for the fag male version

lol

it's simple.

tha government is racist so they infect as many Black people they can wif tha disease they invented (aids). werd

actually abstinence WOULD save lives. Safe sex just offers a good chance of protection...

what phenom said lol.. how you gonna get aids when your not fuckin around... lol

hate em both

this seems stupid. couldnt gay men keep condoms for use with another male just as straight men keep condoms for use with women. if it is true that gay men have more unprotected sex than straight men, then i would think the reason is that they feel there are less risks...

a man having sex with another man runs the risk of catching STIs/STDs, whereas a man having sex with a woman runs the risk of both catching a disease or infection, as well as impregnating the woman

nigga im drunk and horny, let's have sex


......do u have a condom bro

naw im drunk 2 but my condoms in the nearest machine and I just can't operate machinery..


... Do you have a disease?

No bend over bruh this docta dont needa glove

Thats because the government created Aids to kill off the black race.

Throwback to the 80's.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
there you go q,
its rumored that the government put the aids virus in vaccines for gays and blacks..

Government is dumb. Vote Mr. Lavish for President! I could do it and I'd hook it up with easier citizenship programs and stop deporting people. Ya'll an't stealin nobodys jobs were just to lazy to do them ourselves props to you for bein entrepeneuers. I have plans for cutting gas costs which in turn cuts fod and other merchendise costs and stimulates the economy. I'd make the dollar strong again. But I'm foreign so no President for me.

Black people are more prone to drugs and unsafe drug practices. Sharing needles having sex for drugs, and prostitution. I beleive blacks have the higher ratio for that. Also don't more black people get tested for HIV and aids than white people. I see and hear about whites having way more unprotected sex than some of my black peers. But w/e im cool

I would consider asking you a serious question but the correct spelling in place of President was 'Presidency'

maybe next term :thumbup:

I don't believe that the government created AIDS to infect blacks. That would be just stupid because the disease also infects people of other races too. If it was intended to infect black people, the logical thing to do would be to genetically engineer it target that particular race. Not possible? They can already figure out the race of someone using DNA samples now.

Ask yourself this. If you are having sex, are you wrapping it up? If you aren't, why not? Unless both you and your partner were tested, you'll never know for sure if neither one of you have any STDs. I'm willing to bet that guys don't want to use one because it feels better going in raw.

Being on the down low and not using condoms because of that is just plain stupid. It doesn't matter if a dude's cheating on his gf or wife and doesn't want her to find the condoms... Use one and toss the box. Condoms are cheap.. but you only got one life. Heck, a true player would just use the entire box that day. AIDS isn't a gay disease, but anal sex does have higher risk of transmission because vaginal walls are thicker and have less chances of bleeding.

it started with blacks and homos,it can spread elsewhere its used for population controll..
read up on william cooper,and his book the pale white horse.

Can you explain why blacks are 7x more likely to contract HIV than whites.


That's INSANE.








1

Because it was created to kill them?

I can tell you why.

Because a penis or a vagina + another penis or a vagina that has AIDS = 100% chance likely of getting AIDS upon contact.

That's as simple as it is. What's that mean?

The black race has a problem with condoms, abstinence, and just overall giving a shit about getting/giving AIDS in comparison to other races.

Why is this? Who knows, but it's true regardless of culture/area/circumstances.

You sound ridiculous...

So, white guys ALWAYS wrap it up?


Hell naw...

White guys are dirty.

Apparently they are 7x cleaner.

A CDC press release also shows that:

* The occurrence of gonorrhea in Blacks was 18 times higher than with Whites.

* The occurrence of syphilis in Blacks was roughly 6 times higher than with Whites.

* The occurrence of chlamydia in Blacks was 8 times higher than with Whites

NYC Department of Health also found that 50% of blacks had herpes compared to 14% of whites, or a 3.5x higher rate.

So while blacks are 7x more likely to get AIDS than whites, they are also just as more likely to get other STDs too. Maybe it's the black community's lack of access or ability to pay for treatment and testing that results in the higher STD rates? If that's the case, shouldn't using a condom be even more important? Are condoms too expensive? Assuming those people who have a STD didn't get it through oral or a condom breaking, STDs should be mostly preventable because the only other way to get it is through genital-genital contact. From the above data and without knowing more info, it would appear condoms aren't being used often enough

Interesting...

Condoms are expensive...like, a 3 pack is over 6 bucks for some brands...

But, you can get them for free outside of clubs and in clinics...So, there really is no excuse...

I just have a hard time believing the notion that blacks are more reckless and impetuous than whites to explain that statistic.


I'm sure white dudes fuck without condoms all the time. And, I KNOW there aren't more gay black dudes than gay white dudes in US...the shear numbers don't add it...

It's a disparity just like with the prison population...Blacks make up 13% of the US population, but 50% of the prison population...It's a trend.

maybe black prisoners all have aids and all fuck there...easy

Maybe black people have a weaker immune system towards the disease hence why it was created to whip them out?

...thats because blacks have way more sexual partners then other races.can u explain why there are so many single black mothers?so many baby mothers and so many of them with multiple baby fathers?
why dont most black men ever marry?
same reason less then 2% of black ppl are college eduated.

it's a choice they make..

fyi during the slavery black ppl were forbidden to marry,and were forced to have as many sexual relations as possible to breed more slaves...

as for the government creating aids to kill off black ppl...thats just fuckin retarded..its another excuse black ppl make to blame the government and white ppl for their choices....

of course the gov't created aids. they created it to kill the 2 groups of people america hates the most; blacks and gays.

they prolly have stats and shit for it like halo. every time a black person dies of aids they get a kill, everytime a gay person dies of aids they get another kill.

they government will get a double kill when tha q stops posting on here cuz the only way he'll stop is if aids kills him

Blacks are more likely to have multiple partners? That's bogus...and somewhat stereotypical...

Should we poll the board? You know people aren't going to be honest.

I think preventative measures are lacking...esp. in inner cities and poorer areas...

Why ruin a somewhat intelligent statement with an ignorant one?


HEY IN VISION...where you at now?


tsk tsk tsk

P.S. Shameless plug

when are you going to learn to tell the difference between ignorant statements and satire. i said it poking fun at common stereotypes. shut up.

and wtf @ latin kitten posting? i hoped, i mean thought, that bitch was dead

America does not hate blacks and gays the most..

It used to, pushed by Religion and people thinking it was the right thing to murder gays and enslave blacks, there was never a group of people that were out there enslaving gays, but there was one out there killing blacks. Which were strictly white, so that gives black people a reason to stereo type white people with the KKK.

Either way, it's all beside the point really, i don't see where Q thought you had a downfall... & it was far from satire

Hate to get technical on you but as far as this thread goes, your post was simply a diminishing point..

you're right, it wasnt satire. q is black, he is gay and WILL die of aids :D

It would be really stupid for the government to try to kill off gay people by creating a virus that could infect all humans, gay and straight alike... as if infecting the gay population with something that takes years to develop from HIV to full blown AIDS and death while being contagious will not jump from gay to straight people. If the government did create it, it would be logical to also create a secret vaccine for the VIPs. Gay guys just got it worst because anal sex is riskier than vaginal sex because it is easier for bodily fluids to get into the bloodstream from tearing/bleeding since the ass was intended to be exit only.

That's the dumbest thing to ever come out of your mouth, fingertips, or otherwise...

Seeing as though you're the UGLIEST dude on RV, you won't have to worry about HIV, CRABS, or any STD for that matter.Why? YOU CAN'T GET LAID!

How does it feel to be a complete loser?

Yea...the gestation period is too long for Aids to be an effective killer...

And, HIV is no longer a death sentence...more like DIABETES in that it's chronic...people with HIV can live with it for the rest of their lives. Until a vaccine/cure is found...ashiiid, people with HIV can even have children, the NATURAL WAY...the advancements in medicine and technology have been astronomical since the early advent of AIDS in the 80s.


I like Apexx' theory from a while back...something to do with the immune system being compromised in people...

interesting.

look q...

all i wanna say is i admire how positive you are..

aids is such a fucked up predicament.. good on you for staying with the glass half full..

has nothing to do with me...

The stats for blacks would be lower if people would get tested early...

Remember, HIV is NOT AIDS...SO, many of the people who die refuse to get tested then die all of a sudden from complications...

If HIV is caught early, they can treat it like any other disease you live with...

The bad part is, more people have HIV than is reported.

it's not that blacks are more LIKELY to have more partners,they DO have more partners...their culture is different then white ppl's...like white ppl are expected to marry by a certain age,n have kids etc.

with black ppl its different...more often then not 3 generations of women live together rather then husband and wife in a household....

jamaica has the hightest rate of gonorrhea in the world....why?cuz they fuck like rabbits there......

...n i thought u died of gluttony already

siiigh...im not even gunna bother to retort. arguing with you is impossible due to your stubbornness and general know it all attitude. it's just sarcasm brotha, dont be so sensitive

as for you...
