Atlanta HIV rates are shattering records (article)

[Fade Runner 2049]

Wtf

Gay dudes see getting Aids as a right of passage. Some of them fakkits have Aids parties to get it.

 

[loyola llothta]

Keep thinking that having side chicks is good and nothing bad will happen, brehs

keep thinking fuking bytches who fuk gay dudes is a good thing brehs

 

[Dzali OG]

So the immediate and rational explaination is the government injecting black people with it? With no evidence to corroborate these claims.

Naw, I'm not saying that. I'm saying what are these releases concerning the hiv suggest? Taking a step back and viewing the picture it paints, the picture is black people fukk more than any other group on this planet. And raw on top of that. That black people ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE TOO DUMB TO WEAR A CONDOM. That we are the only group with gay males.

fam you're in here talking about AFRICA and this is a thread about ATLANTA
but i'll respond:

- HIV/AIDS has to enter the blood stream, this is extremely difficult to do
try putting something in your blood stream right now without penetrating your body or skin; it's impossible.

- something has to forcefully ENTER the body in order for somebody to get AIDS/HIV....what can FORCEFULLY ENTER A MAN OTHER THAN A NEEDLE OR ANOTHER PENIS. damn the jokes, seriously ask yourself this question.

- whatever conspiracy ANYBODY has as it pertains to HIV/AIDS - this is a universal truth.

now as to AFRICA, I don't know HOW AIDS is spreading over there...everything you're saying could be true. I'm not sure the relevance of keeping on bringing Africa up is

Seriously man are you retarded are just trolling

the way AIDS is transmitted has nothing to do with how it came into existence.

I said it was made in a lab, like several other medical Doctor's have admitted.

You are issue was that I said AIDS was man made, AIDS originated in Africa out the blue, the first person it was detected in had to get it from somewhere, he was injected with it like many other villagers when they were doing vaccinations

It's been over ten years since I did any amateur research on hiv, but last thing I understood was HIV isn't even a virus but a retro virus.

Also, the method of detection and diagnosis was . My understanding was the test is viewed on a spectrum. Apparently WE ALL have a little HIV. So a person is regarded as negative if their spectrum indicates they only have (just pulling numbers as an example) 18 particles of HIV per liter. But then someone who has 25 particles of HIV per liter they're diagnosed as being HIV +.

That's funny as hell!

I haven't looked into the more recent science.

hold up...I'm TROLLING because i'm explaining how hard it is to catch AIDS/HIV!?

break down how AIDS went from being created in a lab in africa (or wherever), to being a disease that I can only catch by another human beings bodily fluids entering my blood stream

now don't RUN on some "lol you too stupid to be responding to!" nonsense

I explained my stance and defended my position, can you not do the same!?

 

[Cat piss martini]

all of them homo thug nikkas
are down there infecting women
left and right....

What even talking about now, stop replying.

You are literally talking to yourself, you're not even addressing what I'm saying.

You are asking yourself questions that I didn't even ask you, and then responding as if you are talking to me.

You are retarded man.

 

[loyola llothta]

What conspiracy theory, you had Dr.'s from all over the world admit it, and how the virus was administered in vaccinations to African villagers.

Nobody died in America like the epidemic in Africa, heroin and gay sex is not common in Africa for it to have spread it like that, you are repeating yourself once again and not addressing the facts.

never heard of no 1995 conspiracy theory, if you just look at the facts, you will see the only possible answer is for it to have been man made, and spread throughout africa in the form of vaccinations.

How people contract it in America isn't relevant because the mass deaths that occured in Africa did not occur in America

and also most of the heroin users and gays in this country are white, and they aren't dying from aids at alarming rates.

i remembering early 90's/late 80's CDC & FDA was saying haitian had bad blood HIV like its a fact


so im always skeptic about these cacs

this nikka literally just confused himself to the point that he had to shut his own self up....

i love this place man

Goddamn you are delusional as fukk

you are confused, you are literally haven't a conversation with yourself

your lost post began with a question you asked yourself and haven't addressed anything I've said yet after all these replies

you are seriously retarded man go outside

 

[Booker T Garvey]

Goddamn you are de

argue that AIDS is man made to eradicate people

but when shown it's one of the hardest diseases to catch in the known universe play dumb brehs.

like I said. the coli is the best forum on the internet

never change man...never change

 

[Canon]

All of those DL males down there.

Just another reason why I have never and will never date a male from Atlanta.

black women got a 2x higher infection rate than black men

if you were being smart the people to avoid would be...... you could be be good if you passed on being gay, drugs, and.

This was an article I found interesting explaining the difference between Aids in America, Thailand, and Botswana. African brehs you can feel free to chime in, don't know if relationships are similar in other African places or not.

Why is AIDS Worse in Africa?
The rate of infection in some parts of the continent is 100 times higher than in the United States, yet sexual activity is similar. Epidemiologists, forced to reconsider their theories of how the disease spreads, have come up with surprising new insights.


Botswana seems an unlikely place for an AIDS epidemic. Vast and underpopulated, it is largely free of the teeming slums, war zones, and inner-city drug cultures that epidemiologists say are typical niches for the human immunodeficiency virus. Botswana is an African paradise. Shortly after gaining its independence from Britain in 1966, large diamond reserves were discovered, and the economy has since grown faster—and for longer—than that of virtually any other nation in the world. Education is free, corruption is rare, crime rates are low, and the nation has never been at war. Citizens are loyal: A visitor quickly learns that even mild criticism of anything related to Botswana is considered impolite. Yet this country, with all these advantages, has the highest HIV-infection rate in the world.

The virus has spread extremely rapidly in Botswana. Two decades ago, virtually no one there was HIV-positive. By 1992 an estimated 20 percent of sexually active adults were infected. By 1995 that proportion had reached one-third, and today it is roughly 40 percent. In Francistown, Botswana’s second largest city, nearly half of all pregnant women in the main hospital test positive for HIV. The picture in the rest of sub-Saharan Africa is nearly as dire. AIDS has killed Zulu nurses in South Africa, Masai teachers in Tanzania, Kikuyu housewives in Kenya, Pygmy elders in Uganda. HIV infection rates range from around 6 percent in Uganda to 39 percent in Swaziland.

Such numbers are astronomical compared with most of the world. In the United States, less than 1 percent of the population is infected; in Russia and India the figure hovers around 1 percent. Even in Thailand, with its thriving sex and drug trades, the proportion of infected barely exceeds 2 percent.

The high rates come despite efforts in many communities to stem the HIV epidemic through educational programs, condom distribution, and treatment for such sexually transmitted diseases as gonorrhea and syphilis, which create genital sores and ulcers that make it easier for the virus to spread. In most cases these programs have had little effect. The growing disaster has forced AIDS experts to reconsider old theories about how HIV spreads in Africa.

Outside of sub-Saharan Africa, many HIV-positive people are injecting drug users, prostitutes, and highly promiscuous homosexual men who may have hundreds of different sexual partners every year. But most Africans with HIV claim never to use drugs, engage in prostitution, or have large numbers of sexual partners. To explain the high infection rates, scientists have advanced theories ranging from nutritional deficiencies to more virulent HIV strains to different sexual customs. In the 1980s Australian demographer John Caldwell insisted that the virus was spreading rapidly in Africa simply because people there tended to have more sexual partners than people elsewhere. He pointed to the cultural desire for many children, the tradition of polygamy, and other aspects of African society that contributed to a greater tolerance of promiscuous behavior than in the West. Caldwell’s views sparked controversy and for years received little attention. Recently, though, some experts, including epidemiologist James Chin of the University of California at Berkeley, have revisited the theory. Chin believes it’s the only possible explanation: “People tell me not to say it, but I strongly believe it.”

Some studies do show that Africans have more—but not vastly more—sexual partners, on average, than people in Western countries. For example, a study of sexual behavior in Zimbabwe, where roughly 33 percent of adults are HIV-positive, found that in a single year, most people have between one and three sexual partners. Of course, prostitutes in Zimbabwe may have more than 100 partners a year, just as prostitutes elsewhere in the world do, but most HIV-positive Zimbabweans are not prostitutes.

In the early 1990s, Martina Morris, then a member of the sociology and public-health departments at Columbia University (and now a professor of sociology and statistics at the University of Washington in Seattle), tried to solve the mystery of HIV in Africa mathematically. She had helped devise a computer program to predict the spread of HIV in a given population based on such factors as the number of sexual partners people had and the duration of those relationships. At the time, Uganda had one of the highest HIV-infection rates in the world, so she flew there in 1993 to gather data on sexual behavior.

“Just after I arrived in Uganda, I had to give a lecture to Ugandan doctors at the medical school in Kampala, telling them what I planned to do,” she recalls. “At the time there was talk in Uganda about helicopter scientists—whites from the United States and Europe who just parachuted in, took data, and didn’t work with local African experts. I was the only American woman in the room, and it was a tough audience. The HIV rate was estimated to be 18 percent at the time, and here I was trying to explain how mathematical models were going to help. They listened, and then at the end, one man raised his hand and asked, ‘Could your model handle more than one partner at a time?’ I said, ‘No.’ The man walked out. The others sat down with me and said I had to include concurrent partnerships in my model. Otherwise it would be irrelevant.”


The idea that long-term simultaneous partnerships might increase the spread of HIV was first proposed by British epidemiologists Robert May and Charlotte Watts in 1992. But Morris had not seen their article when she set out for Uganda in 1993, and her mathematical tools were not up to the complicated task of modeling multiple long-term partnerships anyway.
