Most Americans would not think about college students as a high-risk group."

huh?

[Tax-chick]

three-quarters said they thought they were not at high risk of HIV, despite frequent anal intercourse without condoms with different male partners

The mind boggles.

The wonderful "gays" continue their mass murder of innocents.

It's all Bush's fault.

AIDS Rising in Black Male College Students

Well, obviously the solution is more education ...

Oops, wait a minute, they're already educated ...

"We have a very marginalized group," he said. "They don't identify with the messages targeted to gay white men."

Ahh, that's it, it's all about racism. Apparently messages about the dangers of unprotected sex with a white gay male just don't translate properly and convey the dangers of unprotected sex with a black gay male. We need a multi-million dollar advertising campaign because somehow the view is different when a black male is being barebacked. Silly me.

The upsurge is driven by young men having risky sexual encounters with other men. Typically they do not consider themselves to be gay or bisexual and may even have girlfriends, as well.

So if I have a T-bone steak I can still consider myself a vegetarian?

[Rudder]

The concern is this is our best and brightest within the minority population...

This sure doesn't speak for the minority population if this is the "best and brightest."

"The upsurge is driven by young men having risky sexual encounters with other men."

So don't do that. Hey I just cured the problem!

[petitfour]

Yesterday, hubby had a discussion with a coworker regarding the general decay of society. The coworker is a black female who has a son in high school. She says that her son regularly complains about the homosexual activities that occur in the hallways and locker rooms. He says there is kissing and what-not out in the open. Nothing is done about it.

Actions do have consequences....
Some folks will never acknowledge that...

That's their problem...

Darwin is pretty relentless.

The failure of sex ed classes to impart knowledge to the students about the incredible danger from many diseases caused by anality not to mention the tissue damage issues makes a strong case against allowing any kind of sex ed in the schools. It never helps.

[lilylangtree]

Shouldn't be putting that particular appendage in a sphincter hole that wasn't made for that particular kinky. You'll live longer.

[Tacis]

Blacks are involved? AND fairies are involved? Why isn't the federal government doing something? This is just more proof of the eveil of non-deviant white guys!

[Choose Ye This Day]

The upsurge is driven by young men having risky sexual encounters with other men. Typically they do not consider themselves to be gay or bisexual...

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...

Not to be insensitive or crude or anything, but isn't there the slightest chance that some of this might possibly be related to the obsession with the derriere within rap/hip-hop culture? I mean, from "Baby Got Back" years ago, to these soft-porn videos like "Right Thurr" that prominently feature booty-shaking and more booty-shaking...is there not, perhaps, an unhealthy fetish with the posterior as a sexual object rather than as a waste-disposal site?

[sgtbono2002]

>>Blacks are 11 times more likely than white Americans to get AIDS<< Man what a racist disease, picking on those poor black guys. Or is it a fact they place themselves at risk, just like they place themselves at risk of going to jail in greater numbers than whites because they commit more crimes.

>>The concern is this is our best and brightest within the minority population who are coming down with a lifelong and potentially lethal infection,"<< If these guys are the best and the brightest how much greater is the spread among the stupid.

Marriage is the only answer Let gays get married and they will stop being so free with their sex they will stick with their Spouses . LMFAO

[LibertarianLiz]

Another possible factor may be an especially intense stigma against HIV and homosexuality in the South, making the students less likely to discuss their sexual identity or consider themselves gay.

Stigma??? Please, has any of these people taken a look at their television lately?

The problem isn't "stigma". It is the fact that homosexuality has been legitimized as "just another lifestyle". Also, I have read other articles along these same lines with young men almost looking for AIDs. It is now a badge of honor. Stigma, my foot.

[Malesherbes]

I don't understand how this could happen. I thought African-Americans were an officially protected minority. I guess they need some other form of protection.

[ApplegateRanch]

I don't know any other way to put it," said Dr. Peter Leone, HIV medical director at the state Health Department.

Hmmm; "Evolution in action" comes to mind.

[biblewonk]

Blacks are 11 times more likely than white Americans to get AIDS. Even though they make up 12 percent of the population, they account for 39 percent of AIDS cases and 54 percent of new HIV infections.

Hmmmm Just like Africa. What's up with this statistic and is it even legal to quote or know it?

[biblewonk]

Poverty is often listed as a strong contributor, so the new findings among relatively well-off college students were unexpected.

"I'm poor so I screwed dis dude"

"If I don't get a job quick I'm gonna screw some dude"

Yeah that's it.
