“the HIV/AIDS epidemic is exacerbated by racism, bias, and discrimination”
I don’t know, it might be exacerbated a little bit more by homosexual sex and illicit intravenous drug use. Just a bit.
Barf is right, anything from The Atlantic should be on auto-barf.
Shut up and take your Diktarvy gay boy.
We should quarantine all of the homosexuals until Fauci comes up with an AIDS vaccine.
Exactly HOW is it exacerbated? Seriously?
Should we set aside treatment of every other disease and focus solely on treating AIDS? I am serious, no sarcasm, nothing...what does the author want us to do?
They will do anything but tell gay people to stop banging anything that moves
I thought Fauci had cured AIDS. He certainly tell us about it all of the time. In fact, he extended the social distance for AIDS from 6 inches to 6 feet.
Top. Men.
What do any of those have to do with "racism, bias, and discrimination"? Do blacks use intravenous drugs more than whites? More sex? More gay anal sex? Fewer condoms? All of those are the responsibility of each participant, unless the author is calling on more police rounding up drug users (I seem to remember a recent problem in Minneapolis starting with a drug user being arrested) or maybe the sex police prying open bedroom windows to separate the men from the boys with a crowbar.
“Through PEPFAR, the U.S. government has invested over $85 billion in the global HIV/AIDS response, the largest commitment by any nation to address a single disease in history, saving over 18 million lives, preventing millions of HIV infections, and accelerating progress toward controlling the global HIV/AIDS epidemic.”

PEPFAR is the President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief.
It was started by George Bush in 2003.
The US government has spent 85 billion dollars to ensure male homosexuals can have as much anonomous sex as they want, worldwide I guess. This is vital to our human culture. Obviously.

Sir Elton, is it? That would make you not an American so take your long-overdue reckoning BS and go play with the Brown Dirt Cowboy.
Sodomite males are also more likely to get EVERY disease that is communicable. The reason is they cannot stop themselves from meeting and touching new partners. They are psychologically incapable of controlling their sex drives in the main.
Homosexual men are more likely to get Covid-19 and spread it to their “dates” as the sort of contact they appreciate does not stop “droplets” from seeding any virus.
I will bet your every dollar I have ever earned that gay bars and bath houses do not require a mask, except as a costume for funsies.
Sort of a vaccine we can’t end AIDS anyway, racism or no racism.
“The color of your skin should not determine the quality of your health. But in the United States, the HIV/AIDS epidemic is exacerbated by racism.”
B.S.
The spread of aids is highly dependent on a culture of promiscuity and particularly promiscuity among “gay” men.
If there is a proportionate difference in the rate if aids between ethnic groups within the “gay” community, the most likely difference ought to be found in the rate of promiscuity among different ethnic groups in the gay community, and not in “racism” among anyone in the “gay” community or the medical community.
To the extent that is the likely truth it is not “racist” to say so. Its just factual and an artifact of cultural differences between ethnic groups in the “gay” community.
One of those differences is that many black men who are “gay” have had a harder time - proportionately - “coming out” to family and friends, particularly if their parents are religious and many of their associations come from their church community.
Such black men will lead two separate lives, one with a woman - wife or girlfriend - and another with sexual encounters with men with whom they do not want a permanent emotional relationship - that would risk the other half of their life. In such a life, where the “gay” aspect never escapes promiscuity, the spread of aids is likely to be greater.
I am not making the case here that there is not promiscuity among “white” “gay” men. Certainly there is, though the fact that there is does not mean it is universal.
However, if there are differences in the rate of aids between different ethnic groups with the “gay” community, my only point is to took for cultural differences between ethnic groups from which different rates of promiscuity are obtained, that’s all.
Maybe, but the biggest help would be for males with AIDS to keep their dongs out of other male's butts.
“An end to the AIDS epidemic can only be achieved through dignity, respect, love, and compassion for all.”
Homosexual acts should have remained illegal everywhere. Homosexuals should be discriminated against. Being homosexual should ruin a life.
Two words, Butt Masks...
Why don’t we just automatically add the “BARF” alert to any article from The Atlantic?
