AIDS & THE DOWN LOW: WO/MEN GET UR FACTS STRAIGHT!


THIS IS IMPORTANT, LADIES!!!!! PLEASE READ!!!

I read the most absurd post in a group today & I feel the need to CLARIFY for those of you who are so easily mislead. Please WATCH the short youtube video and read thuroughly, this is very relevent info!

---------------------------------------------------
POST by Amanda Artis: [talking about AIDS/heterosexual transmission]


Please, gather ALL information before spreading misleading and detrimental information. Also, there is only a 0.1% chance of acquiring HIV through heterosexual (vaginal) sex with an HIV infected partner [Padian et al. (1996)] so if those wmen who claim that having sex with a brotha n the DL is the only possible way they contracted HIV, then they need to find out if they were afflicted with any of the 70+ factors known to cause false positive results. Please stop abusing our brothas with such divisive, false information.

--------------------------------------------

MY RESPONSE: 

That video is ridiculous and misleading! I have been studying AIDS in minority women for the past two years and have attained statistics from REPUTABLE organizations (i.e., the CDC) that contradict the stats posted in that video.

IF 50% of the women afflicted with AIDS did, in fact, contract the disease thru IV drug use, that has been since the inception of AIDS in the early 80s. The downlow epidemic is a new phenomena, therefore the DRASTIC INCREASE of heterosexual transmission (seen since 2003) is directly related to black male homosexual activity. 

AND AS FOR UR 'STATs': There is a 0.1% chance of contraction EVERY time that you have sex with that man! That is to say that if you have sex with him 10 times, the percentage increases to 10% and so forth.

The majority of women infected by down low men are in commited relationships and are having SEVERAL sexual encounters with these men, thereby increasing the risk. & that percentage DRASTICALLy increases if that down low brotha convinces that HETERO woman to have anal sex with him, as they so often do. 

IN ADDITION: THat 0.1% stat is from 1996 ... there are strains of HIV in the past ELEVEN years that have mutated soooo drastically that that figure holds little or no relevance today. You should possibly update ur data and stop leading these poor women to believe that sex is safer than it actually is.

You may have figures but u need to work on the common sense aspect.

PLEASE LADIES, kNO UR FACTS AND DONT PUT URSELF AT RISK!!!
