I guess I'm not shocked to read this, but I am surprised.

Nobody should have to die for having sex. Young people need to protect themselves. Why do they ignore the facts?

p.s. I do hope this is a legitimate article and not a hoax for if it is, I've fallen into a racist's trap.

Not startling. I happen to know this is but ONE reason many Providers prefer not to date black men.

Maybe this and other things will be brought out in Thirsty's chat.

The incidence of AIDS in the U.S., and the underlying HIV infection, is indeed higher in minority populations, such as African-Americans and Hispanics, than in whites or Asians. Over the course of the AIDS epidemic in the United States, it has been very difficult to educate young minority gays through outreach programs. Part of the problem is the high societal stigma that attaches to being a minority gay.

That is what worries me about this hobby. Sure we cover up for the mian event, but BBBJ carries a very small, but real risk. Have anybody ever heard of fellow hobbyist or providers being infected?

I`m just going to hang out here and see how long it takes for somebody to blame white men for this.

I saw a news item several months ago with a headline something like "Cholera A New STD?" It seems that several members of the gay community in a major city had all been rimmming an infected buddy. . .
