HIV in the Bible Belt: Why the South Is Still Losing the Sexual Health Fight

STD Rapid Test Kits ^ | Aug 6, 2025 | Website Staff

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

[fwdude]

I guess that “losing” is a relative term.

It’s the Baptists. Not enough dancing...............

[crusty old prospector]

Can I get one of those kits? Asking for a friend.

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.

Oh, yes, they do this constantly. Especially about biblical Christianity.

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.

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.

I thought Georgia was now one of the more “progressive” Southern states. Two rabidly leftist US senators and “voted for Biden.” Take a look at yourself in the mirror, author.

It’s always the south
I just heard VDH ranting against Dixie in his usual national review bullshit

I would have shot my phone

It’s so infuriating

Hanson is clueless about the south and just lies or omits to fit his narrative

Yet I’m a daily listener lol

Of course it's BS. That's why they're printing it.

Atlanta/Fulton/DeKalb Counties are the epicenter of HIV infections. It is also a radically leftist region, skewing the stats for the entire state.

Remove DeKalb and Fulton, and Georgia is just fine.

[chopperk]

Its called promiscuity; that should tell the whole story.

[fwdude]

Using “blacks” as a race-baiting smokescreen for what’s really happening. It’s HOMOS that are causing the problems, in all colors.
