Rise in HIV in Austin

It's a big generational issue as well. For those of us that are a bit older we remember the initial outbreak and the lack of drugs to address HIV. We watched many entertainers succomb to the diease. Many of us knew people that contracted and died from AIDS. This generation of young people have a completely different context than we did. I can't remember the last time a famous person died as a result. I have not know anyone that died from AIDS in over a decacde. That plus the other things stated in this thread contribute to the speard of unprotected sex.

Rick....... The blood supply problem has been taken care of years ago. As far as medical workers getting accidental sticks, the transmission rate for that is really low. Less than one percent. No disrespect to those folks. Accidental sticks with Hep c would be something to worry about though. But for the most, most, most part, only bad people get Hiv.

Qziz , I know who it is , hopefully mods are looking into it ?

Over one million people die of this disease in Africa every year, and nearly two million worldwide. I would say the "heterosexual pandemic" is far from over, and you're a fucking idiot for believing anything short of that. Granted, Fumento may have some respectable points on the subject, but arguing that it's only a threat to "junkies, gays and blacks", is nothing short of ridiculous. Using his work to back your theory is a misrepresentation to say the least.

Here are some quick stats:

In Western Europe, 40% of all reported HIV cases were contracted through heterosexual contact. That statistic also remains true for China. In Eastern Europe that number rises to 48%. In the U.S., that number has dropped from 32% in 2002, to about 12% currently.

Now, do us all a favor and go back to rolling around in your own feces and crawl back under the rock from whence you came.

Let me ask you kids something. How many whites, Hispanics or asians do you know, who don't use needles, and aren't screwing blacks,, have Hiv? None right? Where's all these normal people dying.right and left?


One other thing, gg allin rules. He was probably a prime aids risk though. He mentioned aids in a couple of his songs. Like "die when you die" and "i kill everything I fuck" look those songs up, they're classics.

I have been HIV positive for years but never positive for AIDS.

Hicks stop trolling. We know you're clean, unless you have other bad habits you haven't mentioned. I am clean.

White males and females outrank every other group listed besides blacks, and it's not a huge gap. Also, take note of the heterosexual contact numbers.

"Between 2006 and 2009 the rates of annual AIDS diagnoses decreased among those aged 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, and 60-64. The rates increased among those aged 15-19 and 20-24."

Considering the percentage of whites to blacks it is a substantial difference. Population whites have a lot more in numbers altogether than blacks. So based on that information percentage wise the black population is effected by HIV and Aids at a higher rate.

Number of whites in America 2010 223,553,265
number of blacks in America 2010 38,929,319

So based on the website you put up F it looks like about half the black population has either HIV or Aids.

Why are blacks contracting it at a much higher rate?

Question everything you hear....

Hicks has to be joking.


You kids answer my question. How many heterosexuals do you know, with the stipulations I.stated, have aids. I have only known one person with.aids. a gay dude.who.cut. my hair when I was a kid.

38,000,000 / 16,759 = .04% of the black population

223,553,265 / 9471 = .004% of the white population.

It crushes my heart to think about the women who don't fit this stereotype.
So I will say in our defense:

Some of us came from great families. We made the decision to do what we do when we became grown enough to be called adults. So please don't think we are all problem children; or even problem adults.

However, I'm not a saint by any means. Originally Posted by Ebony Jasmine Love Austin

The women making the most in this profession are extremely intelligent and come from great families.

But it works in their favor if people believe that all providers are lost souls with daddy issues.

really, who are you going to trust, scientists or some dude trolling a SHMB

I mean, come on, scientists, they don't even know how magnets work
