You are such a piece of work.
"She probably used a needle or didn't have an NBA policy."
So, is your implication that the heterosexual vectors work differently depending upon race? Or is this more of your "all blacks are homosexual heroine addicts" take. Why--in your mind--does race matter in the spread of AIDS? I just want to hear it clearly and unambiguously so people know where you stand.

I hate to confuse you with the facts but, like it or not, according to the CDC the rates of STD incidence of all kinds but also HIV are far higher in the black population than white or hispanic populations:
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/risk/racialEthnic/aa/facts/
-African Americans are the racial/ethnic group most affected by HIV.
-African Americans accounted for an estimated 44% of all new HIV infections among adults and adolescents (aged 13 years or older) in 2010, despite representing only 12% of the US population; considering the smaller size of the African American population in the United States, this represents a population rate that is 8 times that of whites overall.
-The rate of new HIV infection in African Americans is 8 times that of whites based on population size.
-In 2010, African American women accounted for 6,100 (29%) of the estimated new HIV infections among all adult and adolescent African Americans. This number represents a decrease of 21% since 2008. Most new HIV infections among African American women (87%; 5,300) are attributed to heterosexual contact.c The estimated rate of new HIV infections for African American women (38.1/100,000 population) was 20 times that of white women and almost 5 times that of Hispanic/Latino women
-In 2010, African American gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men**b represented an estimated 72% (10,600) of new infections among all African American men and 36% of an estimated 29,800 new HIV infections among all gay and bisexual men. More new HIV infections (4,800) occurred among young African American gay and bisexual men (aged 13-24) than any other subgroup of gay and bisexual men
Here's the link which states much the same for incidence of Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis:
