‘Gay Black Men’ Are Responsible For HIV Increase – New
York News

The gay/anti-gay discussion continues as a new generation of
young Brooklyn Black males come under scrutiny. Although,
gay relationship are becoming widely acceptable throughout
the world, questions are still raised daily over it's social and
health implications.
The New York Daily News published a report discussing the rise
of HIV cases among men under 30 who sleep with men. "We are
seeing more young men," Dr. Yusef Afacan, director of the AIDS
Center Program at Woodull Medical Center in East Williamsburg
said.
Doctors are worried that the young men, many hiding their sexual
identity, are fueling the borough's HIV epidemic. Afacan said he
has even treated boys as young as 14 who contracted HIV after
sleeping with another male. "We never saw that a decade ago,"
Afacan said. "Young gay men are not using protection."
Doctors believe these men are infecting their Black female
partners, who made up 79% of all new HIV cases among Brooklyn
women in 2011. This is an alarming trend and advocates are
zeroing in on central Brooklyn areas Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown
Heights, Williamsburg, Bushwick and East Flatbush, which are
home to the city's largest group of those living with the disease.
More than 15,000 reside in central Brooklyn, where about 3,600
identify as MSMs. Those 15,000 make up 10% of the citywide HIV/
AIDS cases. The Brooklyn AIDS Task Force opened a small store-
front office called Brooklyn Men Konnect on Utica Ave. in Crown
Heights, which reputedly has some strong anti-gay attitudes.
With federal aid dropped from $2 million a year to $350,000-
we're hoping that you all take it upon yourselves to stay strapped
(protected with a prophylactic), practice celibacy, or put your
effort in meditation. Casual sex isn't worth losing your life.

Hmmmm......"Casual sex isn't worth losing your life".

What happened to g.ay white men? they taught our brothers homosexuality. Imagine attributing HIV increase to black men. This is serious!

Interesting...

Why Homosexuality Shouldn’t Be
Promoted
I knew that gays had a maybe five or
even ten times higher chance of
getting AIDS and other STD’s than
heterosexuals. I didn’t know the
differential was actually more like 50.
Something like 20% of the US gay
population (which makes up 3.5% of
its total population) is HIV positive. It
is 5% in the UK. But as of 2009,
according to the CDC “male to male
sexual contact” accounted
for about 57% of all HIV transmissions
in the US (and of 75% of all HIV
transmissions among men).
“Heterosexual contact” among men
accounted for a mere 8% of all HIV
transmissions. Basically, if you’re gay,
you should take far, far more
precautions during sex than your
straight counterparts – though in
practice, it seems the precise opposite
is taking place (“Carlos estimates that
he has already had several hundred
sex partners; he eagerly awaits the
day when he tests HIV-positive – at
which time his erotic interest, Carlos
says, will then turn toward infecting
another person – which is known as
“gift-giving”".
The result is that back at the height of
the epidemic in the 1990′s, life
expectancy for gays was something
like 20 years lower than for straights
(those are risks far greater than for
smoking). Assuming the gay
population to be 3% of the male total,
Canadian homosexuals had only a
32% chance of living from the age of
20 to the age of 65, far less than the
78% for the average Canadian man
(or equivalent to a Canadian man in
1871). The study in question,
however, was carried out at the very
height of mortality from AIDS; since
then, medical improvements have
sharply reduced it, e.g. from more
than 50,000 deaths in 1995 to a
constant 20,000 or so from 1998 on.
So I suppose the life expectancy
penalty is now somewhat better than
being a heavy smoker or an alcoholic
(both about 10 years).
In other words, it’s a valid public
health policy to make homosexuality
culturally unattractive, as opposed to
glamorizing it.

The ignorant will always suffer the most consequences.HIV is not like gonorrhear,it is terminal and asking for it carelessly is suicidal.It is real.

berem: What happened to g.ay white men? they taught our brothers homosexuality. Imagine attributing HIV increase to black men. This is serious!

Blaming the white man again. I am a black man and I don't remember being taught homosexuality by anyone. We need to take responsibility for our actions.

20% of Homosexual males in the US are HIV positive?

Jesus.

Same BS blame game every decade.
