I want to talk to you about AIDS, and not about AIDS in China or Africa, but AIDS right here in this country, where black women between the ages of 25 and 44 are 13 times more likely to die of the disease than their counterparts.

What should the government's role be in helping to end the growth of this epidemic?

What does she mean by "counterparts?" Black men?

If so its a sad fact that black men in those ages are more likely to die early and violent which might throw the stats a bit.

I thought she meant white women at first.

Funny, the black men are the ones playing switch hitter in the first place.
