So are AIDS ribbons going to become mandatory?

In Georgia, the zip code you’re born in may determine whether you survive an HIV diagnosis. That’s not a metaphor. That’s the reality playing out across the Southern United States, where stigma clings tighter than sweat in August, and access to testing still depends too often on who you know, how much you make, or how terrified you are of being seen at the clinic.

I guess that “losing” is a relative term.
It’s the Baptists. Not enough dancing...............
Can I get one of those kits? Asking for a friend.
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.

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.
Blackest part of the nation exponentially
Duh
Course Yankees know better
Our bad
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.

Elton John has lived there for years.
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.
Its called promiscuity; that should tell the whole story.
Using “blacks” as a race-baiting smokescreen for what’s really happening. It’s HOMOS that are causing the problems, in all colors.
