Sex...JUST SAY NO. I do not understand anal sex at all. I had college biology. YUCK!

In government studies of 29 states, a black woman was 23 times more likely to be infected with AIDS than was a white woman, and black women accounted for 71.8 percent of new H.I.V. cases in women from 1999 to 2002.

Oh those racist statistics!

Stunning how much ignorance there is about this subject in defiance of all the news and public service information we are bombarded with. You'd have to be a Martian or a moron not to know enough about the virus to have taken precaution or to have modified behavior. That this knowledge does not penetrate the black community is just shocking.

I feel very sorry for black women. I have a close friend who is a black physician. She can never find a moderately successful, educated middle-aged black man who is not already married and who will treat her as she deserves. There are good college-educated black men, but they're outnumbered and the competition for them is stiff.

Black women need to (1) put their legs together and not put out for black men who behave badly, and (2) maybe start looking further afield, like to white and Hispanic men. There are plenty of white men who find black women attractive.

In February, health officials identified a fast-spreading outbreak of infections among 84 men, primarily black students at 37 colleges in North Carolina. The majority were infected through sex with other men, but a third reported that they had had sex with men and women....

"This is a big change and may be a defining moment," Dr. Leone added. "I don't mean to sound like Chicken Little, but if we don't react to this very quickly and aggressively, it'll be like the 80's all over again. Instead of gay white men, though, we'll be dealing with large numbers of young black men and their female partners."

Sounds to me like they were all infected through gay sex....

BC ping.... btw I'm not sure if I heard correctly but this week on Err America they are supposed to be dealing with this issue. I'll believe it when I hear it.

The government thought that education could halt AIDS. But unfortunately the education had to be Politically Correct, therefore the educational material could not say that AIDS is contracted almost exclusively from dirty needles and gay/bi males. Black women could not be warned against having sex with bisexual men, but rather were told that we are all equally at risk.

[Dan from Michigan]

while not calling themselves gay or bisexual, have sex with other men,

They have to be. Else they wouldn't be back door men to put it bluntly. Where's that Sam Kinison skit? It's real fitting.

[CurlyDave]

in 2000, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, more than one million black women were enrolled in degree-granting institutions, compared with 635,000 black men.

This is an incredibly destabilizing statistic. It virtually guarantees promiscuity among men. Throw in the observation that most of the interracial couples I see are black men with women of another race, and we have an even greater shortage of educated, eligible black men.

Are there more bisexuals among African Americans? I don't understand...

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Yes, the risk of contracting H.I.V. is highest in the African-American community and there's no question black women are at higher risk compared to other women, but there's still a lot we don't understand," Dr. Janssen said.

We don't yet understand how HIV is spread? Where's this guy been for the last 25 years? And he's a DOCTOR? Great!

*smh*

How hard is it to just NOT HAVE SEX?? I don't get it. I mean, you need food, you need water, you DON'T NEED sex! As a black woman, I'm saddened by this rise in AIDS in my community by this means. And some wish to blame these men's lack of honesty on "homophobia" in the Black community. Yeah, sure, whatever. It's getting to the point where I will have to tell my daughter when she gets older (she's fifteen) to carry a health questionnaire to give to any man who is interested in her! Sad! Really sad!

Ah, the '80s . . . wasn't that when the big AIDS epidemic didn't happen?
