Just over half of new infections with the AIDS virus in the United States are in blacks, U.S. researchers reported.

A study of detailed data from 33 states shows that of 156,000 new cases of HIV infection between 2001 and 2004, 51 percent were in non-Hispanic blacks -- although blacks made up just 13 percent of the population in those states.

"The rates are extremely high for African-Americans," Tonji Durant of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who led the study, told a news conference.

The rate of new infections declined in black women and in many black men -- with the exception of men having sex with other men, Durant's team reported.

"Despite reductions in diagnoses among African American men and women, HIV continues to pose a major health threat," the CDC said in a statement.

"Despite possible signs of success, HIV continues to exact a disproportionate and devastating toll on African Americans."

Durant and colleagues found that the rate of HIV diagnosis fell by 6.8 percent annually among black women and 4.4 percent annually among black men between 2001 and 2004.

The HIV diagnosis rate even fell by 9.7 percent every year on average among black male users of injected drugs, the CDC study found.

Blacks still had a substantially higher infection rate than other ethnic groups, the CDC team told the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections being held in Denver.

"For African-American men, it is seven times the rate of white men and for African-American women it is 21 times the rate of whites," Dr. Kevin Fenton, director of the National Center for HIV, sexually transmitted diseases and tuberculosis, said in an interview.

CDC officials noted the declines were in the number of new diagnoses -- not necessarily new infections.

Improving awareness
Fenton said public health experts need to work harder to make people aware that AIDS is still an epidemic, to inform them about the benefits of getting tested and to let them know there are treatments available that can keep them healthy, even if there is no cure.

"Some of the factors which are preventing them from getting tested are stigma and fear," Fenton said. People fear rejection from family and friends if they test positive for HIV.

"They hear that these treatments are expensive and wonder how they could possibly afford it," he added.

"What we need is a long-term and sustained effort."

Fenton said the entertainment industry, media and other community figures could be put to better use, and better options made available for people to get the often-expensive HIV drugs.

The human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS is spread by homosexual and heterosexual sex, by sharing needles with someone who is infected, or via blood transfusions. Infected mothers can pass the virus to their babies.

The virus infects close to 40 million people worldwide and more than 1 million people in the United States.

The CDC estimates that 40,000 Americans become infected with HIV each year.

A second study presented at the same conference found that 32 percent of black men in Baltimore who had sex with other men, which includes homosexual and bisexual activity, were infected with HIV.

More than 9 percent of the 891 men became infected with HIV during the year of the study.

I prefer a national press conference with Bill Cosby yelling "Keep your dick in your pants and your legs closed!"

He should follow up with calling them sluts, whores, etc. I'd put emphasis on the word whore. Calling a woman a whore hurts a helluva lot more than just a ho'.

I don't associate myself with the bottom feeders of black society, nor do I have friends that thinks it's cool to fuck every attractive woman/man walking, so I can't say that i've known anyone who has AIDS or HIV personally...

I plan to keep it that way.

Long lasting relationships are much more enjoyable than a one night stand with your dick in a bear trap that'll possibly leave you with a disease that'll kill you eventually. Once everyone starts to understand this, these numbers will decline.

I don't have a super duper long list of sexual partners, and i've been fucking the same person for nearly 4 years. Doesn't bother me one bit. Not sure why everyone can't see it my way.

Ohh, almost forgot! I'm not an habitual drug user either, so i'm sure that helps. Those nasty needles will dig you an early grave too.

Thats just a man's nature. Who doesn't want to fuck every hot chick they see? It's just natural human curiosity to sample everything life has to offer.

I'm not saying people shouldn't seetle down and get married eventually, but monogomy and marriage are just more outdated christian bullshit. Notice how more and more people are staying single longer, it's because we are finally breaking away form the disgusting christian values that have plagued this country for so long.

It's in man's nature, for sure, but not in that exact context for everyone. It's not like I don't know an attractive woman when I see one, but i'm not saying "Damn I wanna take her back to the crib and bone her before my woman gets home". I'm sure everyone doesn't think like me, but you see my point.

Staying single is one thing, but being single and fucking everything walking is where I have a problem, because that's exactly how these numbers grow. If grown ass people didn't act like horny teenages who can't control their hormones, we wouldn't have as many bastard kids or STD's.

When the adults mature, the younger generation will do the same.

I don't bash people for not settling down, because it's not for everyone. But I just don't see how things will get better in society, especially black society until an example is set for the youth.

For some reason, this is something that your culture as a whole seems to understand, hence the lower STD rates and bastard kids.

I know I'm not immortal, wouldn't want to be. A few friends have gotten married. Some have moved away. One has died died. One is fucked up in the hospital. I don't neccesarily think I have the world by the balls, but I've gotten a hold of a few pubes. As far as viewing life as fun, I agree. You have to work hard to make alot of fun possible. But I don't work hard to find my place with YOUR god. In fact, the fruits of my efforts mostly defy your god.

living for only yourself and temporary pleasues is, ultimately, destructive....you might get away with it for awhile

living for God is life and peace




I don't live for god you dumb bastard. Thats your plan; keep it to yourself. I know dieing and rotting in the ground is as far form your mind as rotting in hell or rotting in heaven is from mine.

I know you don't....that's the point

without God you would not exist....God literally "formed you in the womb". God "knitted you together" the Word says....the same God that "calls all the stars by name" and "the hairs of your head are all numbered"

it's tragic when people are not thankful, but that is the nature of fallen humanity (Romans 1)

do you think about death? don't believe anything lies beyond the grave? this short little life is it? and the rug might be pulled out from under you any moment, like it has been for your buddy?

perhaps God is whispering to you, it's time to grow up, and acknowledge Me

I should pray for you, meddle :)

But mark, I exist with out god. Why doesn't he smite me down for my sins that I have no intention to repent? I'm not going to sit here like all the other "christians" and say I live a good life. I don't. I'm good to others, and donate a lot of money to charitys I see fit. I even gave a negro $20 for his church a few weeks ago. Thats nothing compared to the medical charities I support. But according to your god, I will surely burn in hell.

Why would I need to grow up? I'm young and am wise enough to know that I don't know shit. But I own a successful business- more profitable than I ever imagined when we were brewing it up. I am surrounded bypeople who's company I enjoy. Things can only get better.

getting married and being monogomous are not christian values... these values are almost universal in every world culture, regardless of religion.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh
