i live here, while this is very sad, its just not here AIDS is everywhere,the dude in NYC made a disturbing you tube video, named all the girls he infected on purpose, it just so happens that my city is being pinpointed, good it should be, now that we know the stats, hopefully the community will wake up and do something about this.

@ Jd’s revenge-

As a lifelong DMV resident..there are plenty of white & Asian girls in DC too. A lot of them are HIV positive as well.

Not sure if your comments about “only f*cking white and Asian chicks” and “leaving the DC, MD, VA *****es alone” meant you think that the DMV is inhabited exclusively by blacks…or that only black women carry HIV…either way, I hope your ignorant ***** stays out of my city. Pretty sure no whites or asians would want to f*ck your stupid *****.

If you want to stop the spread of AIDS do the following:

1. Stop having unprotected Sex.

2. Woman make you Jail bird man get a Test when he get out the slammer before your lay with him. Then if he’s clean make his ***** wear protection.

3. Brothers come off the down low be honest about who you are and how you like to get it. There is no excuse for men to continue to pretend to be straight and screwing men every chance they get.

4. If your in a relationship be monagamous. Stop creeping bringing ***** home to your partner.

5. If your man or woman like to shoot drugs then get him or her tested. If they’re clean used protection when you get busy.

These’s five items will stop the spread of AIDS. We need AIDS research, but mostly we need self restraint.

This truly sickens me 2 my stomach. I mean I’m an adult and I don’t watch a lot of MTV or BET but I do know that they try 2 do their part 2 discuss AIDS prevention. They have real life stories of people living with [and sometimes suffering from] A.I.D.S.

I know I see commercials on T.V discussing the fact that more than half of people with AIDS don’t even know they have it. I’m not saying that more can’t be done 2 the mssg out there but at the end of the day it seems like u can lead a horse 2 water but u can’t make it drink. U can’t force our black people 2 have self esteem and 2 use protection and stay away from cheap, unprotected sex which goes on FAR too often in our communities. I’ve said it be4 and I’ll say it again. We are INDEED … our OWN worst enemy.

This is sad. The percentages for every part of america are extrememly high. I read an article in Essence/Ebony stating that high rates of african americans having hiv/aids was in texas and florida. For something that has genetically developed out of nowhere and to be consider at one point in time the Gay disease and then the White man disease. For it now to be the BLACK DISEASE after 20+ years of trying to educate people so that hiv/aids won’t spread anymore. It saddens me that we as human beings are so stupid. For the stats to be fall on black people as being the main carriers of hiv/aids makes me wonder how truthful that is. The idea that people of african descent are having unprotected sex with so many people not just here but in AFRICA…no where else in the world is this considered an epidemic among Black people or is it? We’re never told the overall statics of hiv/aids unless referring to blacks in american and africa. To blame this on hiphop music…when you talk math majority of hiphop isn’t bought by blacks…still i do think that hip hop/ r&B is very influential and over sexed. The lyrics are definitely over sexed, the images are over sexed. I do think that artists should take responsibility for their lyrics and actions when it comes to sex.When you’re rapping about sex or singing about sex it’s not just a hot song because your fans are looking up to you. When your rapping or singing about what you can do sexually or how many people want your body and to do various sexual acts to you. Someone is listening and someone is acting out your lyrics. You can’t capitalize on things that are destruction and get away with it there’s a thing called karma. For the record White people, hispanic people also have sex and some of which is unprotected yet their stats combined doesn’t equal to those that are black. The scariest thing of all is that if you have kids or little ones in your family…what would they have to look forward to. There are people in their 20’s living with hiv/aids that were affected since birth. That’s scary just imgaine the dialogue a parent/adut has to have with a child that’s 6 ten years from now. Nothing seems to be getting better. It also seems very convenient for goverments everywhere to not has this be it’s main focus when the very essence of our existance which is reproducation is depending on finding a cure and a way for this not spread besides condoms and telling folk don’t have sex.

To JUSTMOI …i don’t know if you’re from dc but it’s not just dc sweety. Check the stats they’re high among blacks in every state. Even in states where the population of blacks are low.****

I agree the reigns need to be reeled in on sex. Now and days getting laid and getting your freak on is as easy as buying eggs & milk at the grocery store. The only think is when you go shopping for sex the majority of the time the *****s and/or *****s you pick is going to be rotten and kill you.

With black males I am not sure WHAT is going on…it is like EVERYWHERE you look in DC 8 out of 10 black men are FLAMING gay. 9 out of 10 black males are “down low” aka “being freaky” aka what Michael Baisden considers himself “being sexually open” aka BISEXUAL!! Mike if you suck *****s and take *****s up your ***** your GAY son simple as that!! No Hedonism freak island trip will change that boo!

Shoot the numbers have certainly changed..it is not that black men are out numbered by black women…it is that SINGLE ,SAVED, STRAIGHT, SANE, STABLE, STRONG BLACK MEN are RARE to come by at all now & days. They are becoming extinct SWIFTLY.

AND LADIES
When folks say that black women need to start looking at other options that does NOT mean go out and find yourself some bull butchy dyke to ride on. If I see one more sista with some SHEman…there are OPTIONS out there the world is FULL of MANY races and cultures of MEN…you do not have to resort to playing “pretend” with some confused woman.

HOW AWFUL!! Not sure how this is happening but when you look at all the folks still “pimp’n & Ho’ing” all the lil gay glam thugs running a muck trying to snag their nasty fruity *****es a rich DC white man or DL black baller, every lil high school chick trying to be the next Dollicia or Angel Ho’la Love it is not surprising. DC males laying in bed with their wives at night but *****ing the ***** out of their boi toys all afternoon and ain’t NONE OF THEM wearing any protection….wellllllllll

Listen to the so called “hottest” songs out on the radio now and days. They all about drugging, drinking, sucking & *****ing everyone everywhere to get “paid”. Shoot even Usher has taken it to “making love in the club” rolling his lady 6 ways sideways all over the dirty ***** club floor and in the nasty ***** bathroom and that is called “making love”???

WAKE UP BLACK PEOPLE WAKE UP!!! YES WE CAN cannot apply to EVERYTHING somethings you just have to say YES PLEASE STOP!!! Seriously…….STOP

@ Somer–”The #1 problem in the black community is uncommitted relationships. That is the core to all of our problems. We don’t marry. We have hook up for a few months and move on. As I look around my large office in Atl, all I see are single black women of all ages. Most had children as teenagers when they were sprung on some thug nicca. Fast forward 10yrs, their stock has dropped with good men of all races. That is when the desperation start. These women start keeping company with men who are not fit to walk a dog.”
