Re: too many people dying from hiv is time to stop it
They should talk about it more.  But action speak louder than words.  I wish they would show a disclaimer or just show the videos less that are about risky behaviors.  My uncle's boyfriend died of AIDS back in the 90s and that was so sad.   That got me taking it seriously.   I wish more people would take it seriously because most can't afford the drugs, etc that Magic Johnson can.   I'll never try IV drugs or have unprotected sex, etc.   I can see why it's very bad in our community.  When I think of the baby momma/daddy drama, I start thinking, I hope they were tested for HIV before they continue to spread it (if they had/have it).

Re: to many people dying from hiv is time to stop it
I definitely agree that far too many lives are being lost to HIV/AIDS. AIDS is the leading cause of death in BLACK women 25-34 years of age which means African American teens and women in their early twenties are contracting HIV at a greater rate than any other age group and race. A country that can put a man on the moon can definitely do more to educate people about HIV/AIDS. And we have to take on the responsibility of educating ourselves and each other as well. If a man or woman wants to engage in sex without a condom, WALK AWAY! Your life values more than a few minutes of pleasure. Check out my website, www.LindaRHerman.org. I'm the author of CONSEQUENCES, a fictional book that dares to talk about HIV/AIDS. If we stand together, we can eradicate the spread of HIV! Linda R. Herman

Re: to many people dying from hiv is time to stop it
I agree. The spread of HIV will never stop because there are too many ignorant selfish men out there not loving themselves. If you don't care about yourself- why would you care what diseases you are spreading around. Black women need to be very careful. I know so many intelligent Black women who have great careers, a nice house, and great future. One thing they don;t have though is a faithful loving husband. Many of them are just baby-mothers and are still sleeping with their ex's. They are intelligent but at the same time desperate. It's so hard to find a Black man these days many Black women settle for the dogs. They become so sexually frustrated that they would sleep with a man without a condom if a man requested. Some even settle for men straight out of Jail. The African American community has many issues and HIV is on top of the list. Black women- Please use condoms. I know it is hard for us when it comes to our love lives and all the issues that we have to go through, but stay strong, aware, and assure of oneself.
