25. Perspectives on HIV Testing
“There are health clinics everywhere....that’s not an
excuse not to be checked. Its not just blacks its
everyone...specially with the by racial relationships
now days....we all need to be checked no matter what
color we r”
“I have 4 the first time this yr. Was scared but i had 2
no n it was free. But going 2 have it done every yr now”
Personally I rather get the rapid test. I don't like
needles & the results are faster.
26. Perspectives on HIV Testing
“True...There r free clinics out there u just have to do
research people don’t want to take the time to ....
believe me I am a nurse I have done a lot of research
and studied on this subject....I no there are a lot of
black women out there that are but u also have to
think about the men to they care it also they also r
careless just like all colors are careless”.
27. Conspiracy Theory
“everything is a conspiracy. I don't know if I believe it
or not, either way people need to become educated &
protect themselves”.
“Government has nothing to do with if they did what
abt all the other transmitted diseases and cancer and
all other illnesses we going to blame that on them
to?....its all abt peoples stupidity and carelessness dnt
point fingers at people when u control what happens
in your life. U choice to be careless.....not anyone elses
fault”.
28. Why do we get infected?
“HONESTLY BECUZ BARE FEELS BETTER......LOL.... I
HAD TO BE THE BUTTHOLE..... BUT IT DOES ,JUST
BEING HONEST AND PEOPLE GO OVERBOARD
WITH THAT BEING SAID.... THEY THINK DEY CAN
HIT EVERYTHING BARE... DAT SHOULD B SOME
SHIT U SHOUDL ONLY DO WITH YOUR
SIGNIFICANT OTHER AND YALL SHOULD BOTH B
TESTED TOGETHER....”
“Because, we all lay with each other , with out
rubbers, and don’t care right then, we worry about it
later”
29. Why do we get infected?
“I agree with ___ to a point but careless sex is not the
only way HIV is contracted. And not to make it a black
and white thang but black women are contracting HIV
at the highest rates so lack of insurance is an issue for
black women”
“True I do agree u can contract it in different ways
that’s also caused by carelessness also...they have
clinics for all that to....just have to research it and like I
said no one wants to take the time to do so”.
30. Why do we get infected?
“Ok ...let me just say I am a RN and worked at Planned
Parenthood for a number if years where I have tested
many people black and white for the disease. I agree
carelessness is a factor but there are numerous of other
factors. Like low income, lack of insurance, lack of
education and fear. Also going back to the government
conspiracy and HIV ...don't be so naive thinking that
the government doesnt have a hand in the HIV
crisis...we must not forget the Tuskeegee experiment
where black men were purposely given Syphilis.....”

Notes de l'éditeur
HIV infection rates are higher among black MSM compared to other MSM. More new HIV infections occurred among young black MSM (aged 13–29) than among any other age and racial group of MSM.
During 2006 through 2009, more than half of the diagnoses of HIV infection in the United States and dependent areas were in persons of minority races/ethnicities. Blacks/African Americans account for a disproportionate share of diagnoses of HIV infection in comparison to persons of other races/ethnicities. From 2006 through 2009, there were an estimated 171,840 diagnoses of HIV infection in the 40 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006. During this time period, blacks/African Americans accounted for 50% of the total number diagnosed with HIV infection; black/African American women accounted for 64% of total women diagnosed with HIV infection; and 66% of all diagnosed HIV infections attributed to heterosexual contact were among blacks/African Americans. Additionally, 68% of children diagnosed with HIV infection from 2006-2009 were black/African American. In 2009 alone, 50% of the total estimated number of diagnoses of HIV infection among adults and adolescents were among blacks/African Americans. The following 40 states have had laws or regulations requiring confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The 5 U.S. dependent areas include American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Data include persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis. All displayed data have been estimated. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting. Heterosexual contact is with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.
So how can we say that in this epidemic we are all equal?

This slide shows the distribution of diagnoses of HIV infection among adult and adolescent blacks/African Americans in 2009 by sex and transmission category in the 40 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006. The pie chart on the left shows the distribution by transmission category among black/African American males and the pie chart on the right shows the distribution by transmission category among black/African American females. Among black/African American males in 2009, an estimated 68% of diagnosed HIV infections were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact, 9% were attributed to injection drug use, and 20% were attributed to heterosexual contact. Approximately 3% of diagnosed HIV infections among black/African American males were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use. Among black/African American females in 2009, 87% of diagnosed HIV infections were attributed to heterosexual contact and 13% were attributed to injection drug use.

The 5 U.S. dependent areas include American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Data include persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis. All displayed data have been estimated. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays and missing risk-factor information, but not for incomplete reporting. Heterosexual contact is with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection. The transmission category labeled “Other” includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
In 2009, the overall estimated rate of diagnosis of HIV infection for adult and adolescent blacks/African Americans was 82.6 per 100,000 population in the 40 states with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006. The rates of diagnoses of HIV infection for adult and adolescent blacks/African Americans ranged from 0.0 per 100,000 population in Idaho and Wyoming to 133.0 per 100,000 population in Florida and 171.4 per 100,000 population in Maine.

But is it just HIV that impacts Blacks the hardest?Over 162 million cases of seven common chronic diseases — cancers, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, mental disorders, and pulmonary conditions — were reported in The United States in 2003. These conditions shorten lives, reduce quality of life, and create considerable burden for caregivers. The following map shows how states compare based on the prevalence of the seven common chronic diseases.
African Americans comprise the United States' largest racial minority, accounting for 12.1 percent of the total population in 2000. This population is concentrated largely in the southern states and urban areas.
I read once that ppl don't trust the results of the rapid HIV test the one that gives results in 20 minutes. ppl would rather their blood be drawn. Do you all think the rapid test is as accurate as the others?
often ppl say that HIV/AIDS is a conspiracy. That the goverment created it for population control. What do u all think?
