Never mind the list of fake excuses. It seems that rank stupidity causes AIDS.

I guess that “losing” is a relative term.

My guess HIV derived from sexual promiscuity, particularly homosexuality, and iv drug use is much higher percentage in the southern urban areas than out in the more conservative rural areas.

What this article's headline is trying to do is to smear more conservative communities - "You're ways are no better than our urban bath houses" kind of thinking.

So we're back to HIV? I guess WuFlu is yesterday's news now?

So are AIDS ribbons going to become mandatory?

[bk1000]

This is BS. I have lived in the South my whole life so far. While there are rural areas that don’t have great hospitals, there are good accessible regional hospitals. We all have to put up with the HIPPA nonsense. Its sole purpose was to de-stigmatize queers with AIDS. Now it is a PITA for everyone. These elite erudite geniuses love to hate on the South. They can only dream of the quality of life we have compared to their liberal city filth.

Lots of virtue signalling talk the talk but don’t do the walk in the Bible Belt.

[Tell It Right]

From the article: According to KFF’s 2025 HIV Fact Sheet, Black Americans account for 13% of the U.S. population but 42% of new HIV diagnoses, and that disparity is magnified in Southern states like Georgia. It’s not just about behavior. It’s about barriers: who gets healthcare, who’s afraid of being judged, and who’s taught that silence equals safety.

Now the reality. It's not about racial barriers. It's about racial disparities in sexual behaviors. "Acting white" is the kind of behavior that lowers the odds of STD's. The good news is I'm seeing more blacks break away from the hedonist mindset and doing things God's way: raising families in marriages. Will they define the new norm? I hope so. But they won't do it by listening to garbage like this that blames all problems on whites instead of focusing on the natural consequences of decisions.

When talking about the South they need to consider the large percentage of blacks, which they seldom do.

When using general statistics to denigrate red states they usually give the impression they are talking about white Christians and white republican populations, which considering blacks and Hispanics, just isn’t true.

Comparing Texas to Maine can give you some statistics where race and ethnicity need to be considered.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I find it hard to believe the zip code of your birth will determine if you survive an HIV diagnosis.

They make some leaps of logical thinking to come to such a conclusion.

The at home test has been available for 13 years ...

Blame “the system” never admit the failure of the individual to take individual responsibility.

A little bit of self-interested propaganda maybe?

[Alas Babylon!]

It’s in the black community mostly.

If you took the COVID shot, you likely have VAIDs. Depends on how much poison was in the shot you took.

howbadismybatch.com If you took the jab... look it up. Might scare you or might give you some peace. Bottom line the COVID vaccines are deadly.

[Salman]

In Georgia, the zip code you’re born in may determine whether you survive an HIV diagnosis.

Is or is not correlation the same as causation?

Also -- Is the South really the Bible Belt? I know it used to be, but what is it now?
No aspersions on any Bible believers from the South around here, but what's the general culture like nowadays?
