Why is it Black Americans are seeminly adverse to Condom use. We are having the same problem with youth here in the Bahamas and they are heavily influence by Black American Culture.
Wouldn't an up in condom us AND SEXUAL communication atleast stop the spread of the disease if not the MULTIPLE social symptoms that cause it.
Are you still waiting on the government to solve it?

You're absolutely right...it IS a horrible crisis, and is devastating the Black community. (Like it needs MORE problems, right?)
Unfortunately, if the Black community responds to this crisis the was it has responded to every other crisis it has faced since the civil rights movement of the 1960's, it won't do a damn thing that could actually help....but will instead blame the government for not fixing it. (As if the government...local, state, or federal...can do a damn thing about it.)
Some problems Black folks just have to fix themselves.
Amazing, isn't it, that what slavery and Jim Crow couldn't do in four hundred years, the African American community has done to itself in less than two generations.

I've read some reports that say the problem is somewhat of a catch-22, but easy enough to solve.
The quick solution, of course, is lots of testing and condoms. Always wear condoms. Always, unless you're in a committed relationship and are trying to concieve.
One of the root causes is the large number of black men in prison (you can draw your own conclusions as to the reason for that--many issues could be brought up) and the large amount of unreported rape among prisoners. AIDS is spread through this unintended sexual encounter, and when the men are released, it's transmitted back to women (unless condoms are used). It's a terrible thing, but conservatives are afraid to put condoms in prison for fear that it'd somehow "promote" homosexual sex. Instead, they're ignoring it and pretending it's not their problem (which it isn't, since they're not in prison--just making policy for prisoners).

well the stats sound worse than it is. I won't say it's not a problem, but I know more people with HPV than HIV.
I think the reason it spreads more among black people is because of the prison system. So many of are problems is because the lock up a large chunk of our adolescent males for dumb ****. They spend formative years (early twenties) in prison then they get out and bring the whole prison mentality to the streets.

People!
It's really, really, really simple.
KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS...
At least until you are in a committed monogamous relationship with someone who has done the same...
The hardest part of the whole crisis is the innocent children who pay for their parents mistakes.
EDUCATION IS THE KEY...

I'm sorry but I just don't believe they made AIDS in a lab to kill black people. The bible says nothing is new under the sun. It may just be a more ferocious, mutated form of a past pathogen.

AIDS is a biological weapon genetically engineered for population control of African people. It is a result of the forty year Syphilis experiments conducted by the government. Having said that, Adultery and Fornication, amongst African people, is why the weapon is very effective. We are our own worst enemy!
I guess you did not read the second half of my statement.
The solution is to create an environment where Adultery and Fornication is not condoned!
