Time to get out of 1985, it's no longer the "Gay Cancer".
When Gwen Ifill asked a pressing question about AIDS during the vice-presidential debate, both candidates were utterly lost. "I want to talk to you about AIDS, and not about AIDS in China or Africa, but AIDS right here in this country, where black women between the ages of 25 and 44 are 13 times more likely to die of the disease than their counterparts," said Ifill. "What should the government's role be in helping to end the growth of this epidemic?"
Ummmm, free condoms?
Very informative. Do you have anything that backs up your assertion that "the #1 aids carriers are straight young black women"? I couldn't find anything in either piece that said quite that. You're obviously familiar with the stories, so maybe you could help me out.
Also, is there any group that suffers a more disproportionate rate of AIDS cases than gay men? A communicable disease that's been around for 25 years is bound to make its way into then population. Gay men account for about 2% of it, so it would logically follow that in raw numbers, there would be a greater number of cases within the much larger groups at some point. But as a percentage within those groups, does anyone come close to having a higher rate of AIDS cases than gay men?
