Spreading the Word
I felt that it would be right for me to inform this site about the new HIV strain. For those of you who are familiar with HIV, you know that it takes 10-15 years for it to progress to AIDS. The new strand that some doctors found in a homeless New York man has been said to go from HIV to AIDS within a matter of months. This new strain is completely resistant to all the medications given to control HIV. So obviously the cure to AIDS is no where around the corner. My people, did you know that we make up 12 percent of the United States population? Small as hell right? Well one thing that isnt small is that African-Americans make up 55 percent of the United States population that is infected with HIV. For every white man that is infected, eight black men are infected. Oh and ladies, we in trouble too. 74 percent of the 55 percent infected African-Americans are women.
What struck me the most was that the state of Lousiana has two of its cities listed in the top ten cities with the most affected people. New Orleans (where i attend school) came in at number 5 and Baton Rouge came in at number 2.
This something for you guys to think about. Get tested. Get educated.
