According to social justice warriors, AIDS is not caused by “high-risk behavior.” Instead, it’s caused by racism and homophobia.

According to social justice warriors, AIDS is not caused by “high-risk behavior.” Instead, it’s caused by racism and homophobia.

Apparently, people on the radical left think that racists like David Duke are running around injecting black men with HIV.

American Progress writes: (the boldng is mine)

https://www.americanprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/issues/2012/07/pdf/hiv_community_of_color.pdf

African Americans, who make up only 14 percent of the U.S. population, make up 44 percent of the HIV-positive population…

Men who have sex with men represent 2 percent of the U.S. population but account for 61 percent of all new HIV infections…

… the racial HIV gap and the racial health gap in general, is strongly correlated with… historical and contemporary processes of segregation in housing, education, employment, and health care…

The high rates of HIV/AIDS we see among communities of color are not the result of high-risk behavior in these communities, but structural inequalities…

That's nothing new.

Sounds like there is quite a bit of down low actors in the black community. Roughly 3 times the national average from the given stats.

In 2018, men who have sexual relations with other men (MSM) accounted for 69% of all new HIV diagnoses in the United States and 6 dependent areas. Young gay and bisexual men accounted for 83% of all new HIV diagnoses in people aged 13 to 24 in 2018. 

Heterosexual men accounted for 7% of HIV diagnoses, and heterosexual women accounted for 16% of HIV diagnoses.

Also according to the CDC (chart), in 2017  male to male sexual contact was the mode of transmission in 93% of new HIV cases among male youth aged 13 to 24, and  MSM  accounted for 82% of diagnoses among males  and 70%  of all new HIV diagnoses, and 2 out of every 3 diagnoses in the United States.  Which is despite only representing approximately 4% of the male population). 

And which practice (historically)  has resulted in a greatly increased incidence of other infectious diseases   and premature death. And which practice is primarily responsible for more than 700,000 people with AIDS having died (as of 2017) since the beginning of the epidemic - despite decades of attempting to tame it into being "safe."  (Worldwide, 77.3 million people have contracted HIV and 35.4 million have died of AIDS-related illnesses since the beginning of the pandemic in 1981 (https://health.usnews.com/conditions/hiv-aids/articles/hiv-statistics)

In 2005, 28.7% of HIV-negative men reported sex without a condom, rising to 32.8% in 2008, 34.7% in 2011 and 40.5% in 2014. The overall trend was similar for HIV-positive men: in 2005, 34.2% reported sex without a condom, rising to 37.3% in 2008, 39.8% in 2011 and 44.5% in 2014. (https://www.aidsmap.com/news/may-2016/american-gay-mens-use-condoms-has-been-falling-decade-regardless-serosorting-or-prep)

There were 16,350 deaths in 2017 alone among adults and adolescents diagnosed with HIV in the United States and 6 dependent areas. [like as is usually the case with deaths attributed to the flu and COVID-19, deaths attributed to AIDS refers to killing indirectly].


In 2016 the rate of people living with HIV per 100,000 population was 368, with the death rate being 6. Male-to-male sexual contact made up  82.4% of HIV infections among males in 2017, while heterosexual contact made up 85.7% of HIV infections among females. The rate of Black males living with an HIV diagnosis is 5.6 times that of White males. The rate of Black females living with an HIV diagnosis is 17.6 times that of White females. The rate of Hispanic/Latino males living with an HIV diagnosis is 2.5 times that of White males. The rate of Hispanic/Latina females living with an HIV diagnosis is 4.2 times that of White females. (https://aidsvu.org/local-data/united-states)

The South has the highest number of people living with HIV, but if population size is taken into account, the Northeast has the highest rate of people living with HIV.

One of the diseases that is far more prevalent among MSM than other population groups is that of anal cancer, which is diagnosed in about 2 people out of every 100,000 people in the general population. In contrast, it is estimated that MSMs that are not infected with HIV are 20 times more likely to be diagnosed with anal cancer. HPV is present in approximately 65% of HIV negative MSMs and 95% of MSMs who are HIV positive. Anal cancer is caused by the same strains of HPV (Human Papillomavirus)  that cause cervical cancer in women.

Fauci spent his career trying to argue that we are all equally at risk from AIDS. Then when COVID struck mostly the elderly, he repeated the nonsense that we are all equally at risk. Why do we keep listening to him?

As a white person I now believe it is my racist duty to go to where black and brown people live and stare at them menacingly thinking bad thoughts until they get AIDS.

"Fauci spent his career trying to argue that we are all equally at risk from AIDS"

And when Reagan rightfully spurned him, Fauxi burned and burned and plotted revenge.

Is a man back-holing a man homophobia?

"structural inequalities"

Marxist deconstructionist gobbledygook.

Meaning if we didn't have men and women, but considered the human race as an androgenous stew of infinite genders, then all would be well because we could not assign causes of disease to anything in particular.

This is the drek now being taught in colleges and universities since the mid-90's.

Spiritual vacancy manifesting as mental illness.

Did God King Fauci, knower of all knowledge, expert of experts, outlaw homosexuality to prevent AIDS? After all. If it saves just one life it’s worth it.
