Cause they use religion to justify that behavior. Some people believe that they are there just to have kids and struggle. Kinda bum shyt is that
?
Too many people in the black community center their activities and actions on getting sex and nothing else.
As the health community geared up to recognize National Women and Girls HIV Awareness Day today, startling new research revealed that the disease is five times more prevalent among African-American women than previously thought.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 in 32 African-American women will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime. But a national team of AIDS experts at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere say they are surprised and dismayed by the results of a new study they conducted, showing that the yearly number of new cases of HIV infection among black women is five times previous estimates from the CDC.
The team, called the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN), announced results from its HPTN 064 Women's HIV Seroincidence Study (ISIS) this week, which found that among 2,099 women ages 18 to 44, 88 percent of whom were black, 1.5 percent (32 women) tested positive at the outset of the study, even though they all thought they were negative. Among those who initially tested negative for HIV, the rate of new infections was 0.24 percent within a year after joining the study.
Researchers say that women constitute roughly one-quarter of new HIV infections in the US with 66 percent of these infections occurring among black women, although black women constitute only 14 percent of the US female population. What's more alarming is that the rate revealed in the ISIS study is comparable to estimated HIV incidence rates in several countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including the Congo (0.28%) and Kenya (0.53%).
"While African American women do not engage in more risky behaviors than other women, a complex range of social and environmental factors place them at greater risk for HIV," the CDC said in a statement announcing the launch of a new campaign called "Take Charge. Take the Test." aimed at curbing the HIV crisis among black women.
According to a report by News One:
Some of the factors increasing the HIV/AIDS risk for Black women include lack of access to health care and the inability to sometimes negotiate safer sex because of financial dependence on a sexual partner. In addition, because Black men have higher rates of incarceration, which can lead to concurrent relationships and the higher prevalence of AIDS in the Black community, the chances of infection are higher with each sexual encounter.
Data from the ISIS study comes from analysis of at-risk women in these six urban areas in the northeastern and southeastern United States, which researchers say are hardest hit by the global AIDS epidemic.
HIV Among Black Women 5 Times Higher Than Previously Thought: Study
That article is from Huffington Post.
Thats the same organization thats been accused of supporting pseudo-science. Their reputation in news is that of an organization the you ignore when discussing issues related to medicine and health because they don't care about scientific integrity when it comes to finding their sources.
Thats the reason why they're saying aids is 5 times higher in black women than previously thought, whereas other more prestigious new organizations like the washington post have reported the aids cases are declining.
my advice would be to through any huffington post articles in the bushes
anytime I see a beautiful black woman. There is now an over the counter HIV test available at drug stores. THIS IS HUGE! We need stop making assumptions about someone's status and at least use such products with your S/O.
My theory is that rich whites have been purchasing anti-HIV drugs for years and use them as a cocktail to prevent infection. They go on sex tour and smash random women around the world all the time. There was an article that came out a few months ago about a research in which high risk gay and bi men were given the drug and it cut down HIV infection considerably. Like they have not been using it already
now that is something i've never thought about. but it makes total sense. that's exactly what i'm talking about i believe the 1% has access to treatments we don't. i remember reading an article about the H1N1 swine flu vaccine and basically it was you can't trust drug companies and government obviously because they'll inject the masses with stuff to either "test" on us or stuff that hasn't been tested enough to be sure about possible life threatening side effects. 
Lemme explain where my interest in the subject came from...
Years ago in my slumming phase, I was fukking with this breezy for about 5 months. I had just taken a fall and was crawling mayne. My car was in the bushes and I barely had a roof.
Met this broad who felt the kid any way and I began crushing. Crushed for bout 5 months and we were pretty close. Now women have this thing they do when they feeling good with a man and have plans. They go to the gyno and get tested.
Well this broad came to me one day with tears and told me her doctor told her she was HIV +.
Keep in mind that we had been fukkin like 5 months, and I'm a nasty ass nikka....I fukks everything!!!
Fast forwarding and skipping most cause this is getting long...I got tested and been tested every year since. I'm negative like a mofo!!! I lost contact wit breezy after we split but I saw her like a year ago and she still fine than a mufukka, not sick looking or nothing.
When you compare their rates to other races of women, they are. Unless you just don't believe the stats.there is no "skyrocketing rate" read the quote again
If you don't think that there is evidence showing that women do pass the disease to men then you're just somebody who lives in his own world. Being delusional is a personal problem. I wonder how many other dummies out here caught it thinking like you think.All the evidence points to the disease being spread between gay/bi men, then introduced to heterosexual women from those men.
You have no evidence/statistics to prove otherwise
Well that's a worldwide statistic. I actually don't know if that stat is true for the US alone. That's besides my point though, my point here is that HIV is spread through hetero vaginal intercourse and it's ignorant to think that these women are all getting it from "down low" black dudes. That's a scapegoat, that's just something to deflect away from the real problem which is personal responsibility.The numbers and REAL life aren't showing this however.
If we believed their numbers, we would be seeing many, many more brothers walking around like.
Like I said earlier, being delusional is a personal problem. I'm done debating with idiots that actually believe that men can't catch it from women.
Their rates are higher than other women, but overall the rates are declining for EVERYONE outside the gay community. Their rates are not "Skyrocketing"
if you want to ignore science, biology, and statistics, then go right ahead but don't go calling other people idiots.Later for the semantics and word games. 2/3 of all new HIV infections amongst females are black women even though they're only 14% of the female population, but their numbers aren't skyrocketing in comparison to other races of women?Their rates are higher than other women, but overall the rates are declining for EVERYONE outside the gay community. Their rates are not "Skyrocketing"
I never said men couldn't catch the disease from heterosexual sex, I said it is very improbable and not the primary way the disease is spread to men. If it was up to heterosexual sex alone the decease wouldn't be nearly as widespread as it is.
It's not word games. Skyrocketing insinuates increasing when in fact their rates are decreasing.
so if we know only 1/4 of new aids cases occur in women, and it is much easier for men to pass it on to women, then where are the men getting it from?
Their rates are increasing compared to other races of women. Are you slow?
Most men in the US get it from gay sex, and I've never denied that. What I'm saying is that women are passing it on to men whether you and the rest acknowledge that or not.
so if we know only 1/4 of new aids cases occur in women, and it is much easier for men to pass it on to women, then where are the men getting it from?
Wow, your math sucks. 1 minus 3/4 is 1/4, where did you get 18% from? Even if straight men who have caught HIV from women only make up 25% of new HIV cases in men, that still proves my point that women do spread it to men. I wonder how many of those 25% are men like you who thought that it was "improbable" for them to catch HIV from a woman. Those positive results were a hell of a wake up call, I'll bet you that.
So if men account for 3/4 of new aids cases. And gay men account for 3/4 of aids cases in men. That means straight men account for about 18% of new aids cases. Add in drug use and men lying about their sexual exploits and the rate goes down even lower.
Like i said it is very improbable for a man to contract aids through heterosexual sex.
So now HIV isn't even an STD in certain nations? You'll say anything. I don't disagree with HIV rates being high in certain countries because of the reasons that you listed, but there are also other reasons. People being ignorant believing in dumb misconceptions like "it's improbable for a woman to pass it to a man" is also a big reason for HIV rates being high.
You haven't provided anything to back up your drivel. The stats that you listed were already provided by the article and I haven't ignored any of those stats. I asked you to show me your evidence that say that most black woman who have HIV caught it from a downlow man, and you failed to do so.
Actually their rates would be decreasing slower, not increasing, in relation to other women. still in no way does that equate to "skyrocketing"
I've already said it wasn't impossible just not very common.
Men account for 3/4 of ALL aids cases. Straight men account for 1/4 of aids cases IN MEN. 1/4 of 3/4= 18%. 18% of all new aids cases are found in straight men. Please read and understand before you reply, especially since you like to call other people idiots.
what donyou mean even if? The stats are there do you, or don't you believe them?
In poor nations it doesn't matter if they are ignorant or not. They don't have access to healthcare or condoms.
They have not done a "where did black woman get HIV from"'study but if you look at all the evidence use some common sense and think logically you will understand.
