Did anybody read the article "Black women in US 23 times as likely to get Aids virus"in todays Guardian (6th April 2004) by Gary Younge?
'...The principal theory as to why this affects women so acutely is because of the high rates of HIV infection among gay and bisexual men, which is six times that of whites and four times that of Hispanics...However, homophobia in the black community causes many men to live on "the down-low" - meaning they have public relationships with women and secret sex with men'
'"When America gets a cold," Joseph Lowery, the president emeritus of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference once said, "black America gets pneumonia"'.
So what seems to be the problem here? Need i even ask? Black/men need to stop putting "us" women in danger! confused3... JUST BE HONEST...
