Pan Africanism
The CDC identified the first case of AIDS in the United States in 1981.1 By 1994, AIDS was the leading cause of death for all Americans (men and women) ages 25 to 44.2 Today 25% of people living with HIV in the United States are women.3HIV/AIDS remains among the 10 leading causes of death for black women ages 15 to 594 and Hispanic/Latina women ages 30 to 495. Although HIV/AIDS affects more African-American women and Latinas compared with other women, new HIV infections among black women have decreased since 2008.6

As the HIV/AIDS epidemic spread in the 1980s, we needed better ways to estimate the number of women with HIV/AIDS. AIDS reporting to the CDC began in 1981.7 In 1988, CDC researchers began to analyze routine blood tests from newborn infants to test for HIV in their mothers in what was to become the first nationwide, population-based survey of HIV prevalence.8 In 1993, NIH established the Women's Interagency HIV Study(link is external) – the largest and longest-running study to investigate the impact of HIV on women in the United States.

Fewer women are dying from AIDS due to the introduction of highly active antiretroviral drugs. Treatment with these types of drugs can suppresses viral replication (stop the virus from multiplying) for decades, allowing patients to enjoy longer and healthier lives and making them less infectious to others.9

In 2003, CDC revised its recommendations to make HIV testing a routine part of all medical care. It also recommended universal prenatal testing, with rapid tests during labor and after delivery if the mother was not screened prenatally. By 2006, the CDC recommended screening of all adults ages 13 to 64, with repeat screening at least annually for those at high risk.10 The 2010 Affordable Care Act requires most insurers to cover HIV screening at no cost for everyone 15 to 65 and those at other ages who may be at increased risk.

For one, a lot of health institutes are becoming aware of how racial bias skews and fukks up STD statistical reporting. So a lot of researchers are becoming more and more interested in how blk females being overscreened for STDs and how STD reporting pulled primarily from public clinics with poorer populations has resulted in overreporting of blks with STDs, while obscuring white STD statistics.

I think they just trying to ease us into the truth about whites and their STD rates. Believe it or not white women have always been more promiscuous than blk women.

But the power of the innocent white female image has resulted in their fukkery going unacknowledged. But the effects don’t go away. I estimate shyt is getting really bad in the white race on epidemic proportions by the time they start admitting to shyt in the media.

They not gon come out and say our dumb racist asses were wrong. They gotta be slick about it and say shyt like “ummmm da blk wimminz gettin more responsible!”

Sexual Behavior and Attitudes among White, Black, Latinx, and Asian College Students - Contexts

In her 2017 book American Hookup, Lisa Wade says, based on what some students of color told her, that “in some ways, hookup culture is a white thing.” In this blog post, we use data from an online survey from over 20,000 American students at 21 colleges and universities to explore what, if any, differences in sexual behavior or attitudes about sex exist between White, Black, Latinx, South Asian, and East Asian students.

Here’s some interesting results from the study of over 21 college campuses

“Unlike beliefs about whether love is necessary for sex, where Whites and Blacks were very close to each other, these beliefs about whether premarital sex is wrong show Black students to be substantially more conservative than Whites and Latinx students. On the issue of premarital sex, Blacks are closer to the conservative views of Asians, who are the most conservative.”

“Among men, Asians have the lowest number of hookups, with a median of one hook up, Latinx men are next with a little above two, and Whites and Blacks are the highest with almost identical medians at approximately three hookups. Among women, we Black and East or South Asian women have hooked up little, Latinx women are in the middle, White women have hooked up the most.”

“we found that Black women students are significantly more likely to be virgins than White women, they have had about the same number of intercourse partners as White women, and they have had substantially fewer hookups than either White women or Latinas. Moreover, they are more likely to think premarital sex is wrong than any race-gender group other than South Asian women.”

By every metric blk women were less sexually active across 21 different college campuses.

Yet these findings are inconsistent with what we are told about blk women and how they are portrayed in the media as being oversexed, promiscuous, jezebels.

I initially found all of this shyt out from professors in my public health and statistics courses and friends and family in the health field. When I started digging deeper I was like :mjtf::dwillhuh:
