Silent epidemic: black gay men in US face 50-50 risk of HIV

HIV is at an all-time high in the black gay community in the US

The risk of contracting HIV is one in two if you are a black man in the US who has sex with men. 

This statistic is all the more startling because so few people are aware of it.
?I was feeling very sick? says Daryon McCurdy, ?so I went to the doctor and they said, ?Okay, you have gonorrhea and acute HIV.? I was so shocked.?
The 25-year-old was diagnosed with HIV in August 2017, three years after moving to Atlanta, the black gay capital of the US. The city provides a coming-of-age setting for men from across the US. For those from the south, it can be lifesaving.

For men who grow up gay in the south, this kind of shame and stigma makes them less likely to seek information about, and protection for, their sex lives. Closeted sex is inherently dangerous, because it happens in places where it is not safe to talk openly to people who may be able to help. What follows can be a lack of knowledge about safe sex or a huge underestimation of the risk of infection.

Are these numbers accurate? 50/50 chance of contracting it, if one fucks raw I?m assuming?

At least HIV is manageble, I'm worried about the super gono' that's been rising

People don't realise we've been depending on Anti-biotics that's been out for almost 80 years and we really haven't produced any new effective ones, all the while we're becoming immune to the ones that are already here.

Not a heads or tails mess out.

lkm'klm'kl.

I have a close friend who was dating a nigga for 6 months and he was HIV+ the entire time.  My friend asked him early in the relationship his status, and he told him he was negative.  Even to the point that when my friend wanted to use condoms their first time, the guy was like, "I mean, we can use them if you want!  But YEAH!  Never had anything! LOL!"

And I guess that was enough to disarm my friend and make him think the guy was clean. SMH.  6 months later, he finds out the guy has been positive for almost 10 years.  All the poz girls wanna say, "UNDETECTABLE! LOL!"  ...... and my friend has since gotten tested... and was negative in 2 different tests.

But it's also an issue with poz guys who are "undetectable" not telling their partners.  Granted, you have to be responsible for your self, but STILL..... it's disgusting! 

Faggots are gross.
