This is extremely alarming news and I was lost for words after hearing it.
A new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that tested over 8,000 people in 21 cities, found that one in FIVE gay men in the United States has HIV, and almost half of those who carry the virus are unaware that they are infected.
According to the study, the risk is highest among young, sexually active men and minority groups(black people) because they are least likely to know their health status, while the rate has fallen for heterosexuals and intravenous drug users.
Kevin Fenton, the director of National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention says:
“This study’s message is clear: HIV exacts a devastating toll on men who have sex with men in America’s major cities, and yet far too many of those who are infected don’t know it.”
There is a huge problem in the gay community. I think most people think that we need to have more educational information on HIV/AIDS readily available for people, but that is not always the case. The information is out there, and Gay men are faced with this reality everyday, but they choose to ignore it. I know first hand that people (gay men) just flat out refuse to us condoms. It’s not about how much the condoms cost, hell its really not about how a condom feels during penetration. Gay men just do not want to use them for some reason. I know for a fact that people seek out their sexual partners for this very reason……Raw Sex. There are a lot of gay men who are turned off by condoms. And when you ask them if they are going to use one, they give you this look as if to question your health status. A look that asks, “Why do you need a condom if you’re clean and I’m clean?”
Take in to account the people that refuse to get tested because they know they are not practicing safe sex. Some men (gay) will tell you, “If I have it, then I don’t want to know.” Which is basically BS. Then you have other gay men out there knowingly infecting others. So, until people change the way they think, that 1 in every 5 men infected with HIV is going to get smaller.
Damn Freddyo you better strap up partner …LMAO..
but then the down low dudes are infecting the women too……sex these days is like russian roullette even with a condom, because they are not 100% safe………people I know try to get wit that one somebody n keep it movin…this is really scary it effects everyone

@ WALTER – You couldnt have said it any better! So TRUE, but very sad.
imlovinlove your comment about those down low brothers is true. Those are the ones who infect heterosexual women the most. And in the black community especially. There has been reports for over a decade now about black men who are closet homosexual infecting there female partners. Homosexuality isn’t wrong it is ignorance about using protection when you do have intercourse be it homosexual or heterosexual because it is killing people in the black community at an alarmingly high rate
So strap up and be safe.
@Real_Talk_my_Ninja It’s thinking like this that makes people hide who they really are, male and female. I don’t know who you think you are (and all others like you) that you are so perfect that you are able to judge. What you speak is not real talk. Only ignorant people could think that beause people are not heterosexual they no longer have feelings and are irrelevant. This only perpetuates the cycle. That’s real talk.
LOL @ DIARY OF A YOUNG BLACK ASSHOLE…. Whatever in my Frankie voice!!!! I am good on that one … LOL you the one !!!!
Good day everyone, My name is Henry Adams, I’m 32yrs old, I live with the most devastating illness for the past 5years
no, I was married and because of my illstate, my wife left me but luckingly she didnt contacted it. What am I talking about, HIV/AIDS,
she always insisted that we should use condom because she was affraid to get it, she later left me a month after our wedding.
I lived like a helpless animal for 6 months, I went to hospital but there was no cure for me just good healthcare. I almost lost my job
because of my ilness. A day came when i search in the internet and met D odetokun, an African doctor that cures hiv/aids, I told him about my
illstate and how deppinated i was to be cured. He assured me not to worry about it and prescribed the cure for me and how i would take it. It was
just like yesterday . I want to thank Dr Odetokun for saving my life and my career. Here is his email(Drodetokun@gmail.com) and you can also contact him
on his mobile number(+2348134594549) Thanks..
