One in five gay/bisexual men in the 21 U.S. cities hardest hit by AIDS have HIV infections -- and nearly half don't know it, a CDC survey finds.
19% of the men tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
28% of black, 18% of Hispanic, and 16% of white men tested positive for HIV.
44% of the men who tested positive for HIV had been unaware of their infection.
59% of black, 46% of Hispanic, and 26% of white men who tested positive for HIV were unaware of their infection.
63% of the HIV-positive men age 18-29 were unaware of their infection.
Do you think you have a RIGHT to know your partners sexual history? If you don't, you should advise them to at LEAST get tested. It could save a life...
YOURS!
Stats are always scary! You always have the right to ask the questions. The problem is getting the truth. If I'm sleeping with you, I'm sleeping with everyone you've ever slept with. If the question can't be answered, then that may not be a good person to trust with you life. Great post!
ReplyDeleteDayum!
ReplyDeleteDope post! Runs to the clinic to make an appointment...lol
ReplyDeleteInteresting...I have a home girl who seems to be a little more trusting with her vag than I think she should be. She doesn't even toot it for every dude she comes across but I've heard her say things that imply how she gets down with certain dudes. I don't see how she can be so trusting but I mean what am I to say?
ReplyDeleteI was in a situation when this dude got ASS NAKED at this resort and asked if he could see my boobs. I asked " you have condoms" I know that was blunt but I'm almost 30 what did he think he could just play with my boobs, what did he think was going to happen. His response was "wow no, I wasn't even thinking that far" well I was. Put your clothes on homie because I left my stash at the house. Sighs. Good post.
