HIV Rate in D.C. Soars, Now 'On Par With Uganda' - GoFuckYourself.com

I still dont understand why does this effect blacks more than whites? granted there is a big black population in DC but overal in the world it seems it effects lots of blacks, why? (and no this is not a racial joke or question im just curious)

At least 3 percent of residents in the nation's capital are living with HIV or AIDS and every mode of transmission is on the rise, according to a report to be released Monday by D.C. health officials.

The findings in the 2008 epidemiology report by the D.C. HIV/AIDS Administration point to a severe epidemic that's impacting every race and sex across the population and neighborhoods.

"Our rates are higher than West Africa," said Shannon Hader, the administration's director, who used to spearhead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's work in Zimbabwe. "They're on par with Uganda and some parts of Kenya."

The report, obtained by The Washington Post, updates a landmark 2007 study that discovered the epidemic had moved from affecting a mostly gay population to a general one, and that it disproportionately affected blacks.

The study found that the number of HIV and AIDS cases jumped 22 percent from the 12,428 reported in 2006. Almost 1 in 10 residents between 40 and 49 are living with the virus, and black men had the highest infection rate at almost 7 percent, the report said. It added that 3 percent of black women in D.C. have HIV.

The virus was most often transmitted by men having sex with men, followed by heterosexual transmission and injection drug use, the report said.

"This is very, very depressing news, especially considering HIV's profound impact on minority communities," said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Health's program on infectious diseases. "And remember: The city's numbers are just based on people who've gotten tested."

The epidemiology report warns that the true number of D.C. residents infected with HIV "is certainly higher."

Meanwhile, another study scheduled to be released Monday by city health officials looks at heterosexual sexual behavior, and attempts to dissect people's choices before they are tested for or become infected with HIV. It was conducted by the George Washington University School of Health and Health Services with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The study found that three in five D.C. residents who had connections in neighborhoods with high poverty and AIDS rates were aware of their HIV status and that three in 10 had used a condom the last time they had sex, among other findings.

My guess would be the prison system which does not allow condoms added with how few single black men are available and on the streets, many of which have already done time in said prison. Then with so few men available the men can easily bed hop and the women compete - which I suppose making someone use a condom would be a point against them.

robfantasy · 03-16-2009, 12:19 AM

easy, they dont give a shit about anything, kids to them is $$ from the government, plus they dont buy condoms

1. Men typically do not collect money from the government for kids.
2. Condoms are free to anyone outside of prison in the US if you have not looked.
3. Never mind - I keep forgetting your one of those crazy ass racist political conspiracy nuts.

Because 1 to 3% of European descendants are immune to it. If Bush hadn't put the smack down on stem cell research there would probably already be a cure for most people but so far only one person has been cured: http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/02/11....hiv.stemcell/

********************************************
...donor who has a naturally occurring gene mutation that confers resistance to HIV. The mutation cripples a receptor known as CCR5, which is normally found on the surface of T cells, the type of immune system cells attacked by HIV.

The mutation is known as CCR5 delta32 and is found in 1 percent to 3 percent of white populations of European descent.

HIV uses the CCR5 as a co-receptor (in addition to CD4 receptors) to latch on to and ultimately destroy immune system cells. Since the virus can't gain a foothold on cells that lack CCR5, people who have the mutation have natural protection. (There are other, less common HIV strains that use different co-receptors.)

People who inherit one copy of CCR5 delta32 take longer to get sick or develop AIDS if infected with HIV. People with two copies (one from each parent) may not become infected at all. The stem cell donor had two copies.

I researched this in depth (don't ask why lol).

People with two copies of a CCR5-delta 32 gen mutation are considered resistant to MOST strains of HIV. But there are still less common strains that could infect them.

Here's a good reading on all the HIV subtypes: http://www.avert.org/hivtypes.htm

polish_aristocrat · 03-16-2009, 06:33 AM

edit: didn't read whole thread, looks like someone posted the details bout the delta 32 mutations already

2 examples of a guy getting laid

1. goes to a bar meets a girl both drunk or whatever and they end up going to his or her place and fucking

2. guy calls a hooker she comes over or he goes to her

the first example is less likely to use condoms

Fletch XXX · 03-16-2009, 06:38 AM

huh? i thought we fixed the aids problem with "WE ARE THE WORLD?" I can remember my mom buying 4 copies and telling me it would help the world, BIG LOL

oh you mean all that money went to the pockets of the record producers and the talent lol

AIDS is big business, cure for aids is not.

Well from what I have read, whites make up around 69% of the US population, and blacks around 13%.

Compare that with the percentage of people on welfare: whites make up 39% of welfare cases, blacks around 37%.

So there is definitely a disproportionate amount of blacks on welfare, given the size of their total population in the US.

In Holland it's mainly fags, blacks and drug users who carry the virus. Probably like most countries.

You are not allowed to say that in public though. Especially the fags go nuts if you do. It's considered racist to mention confirmed stats.
