HIV-AIDS is affecting black gay men in the United States on a scale unseen among any other group in the developed world, said a report issued Wednesday ahead of the International AIDS Conference.
So grave is the crisis that in some US cities, one in two black men who have sex with other men are HIV positive, according to the report from the Black AIDS Institute, the only national HIV-AIDS think tank focusing on African Americans.
"AIDS in America is a black disease, no matter how you look at it," its president and chief executive Phill Wilson, who is himself HIV positive, said ahead of Sunday's opening of the six-day global conference.
"The best lens through which to figure out what AIDS looks like in America is to look at AIDS in black America," he said in an interview, adding that it was time to "jump-start a new conversation... and build a robust response" to the crisis.

The lowdown is that Barack is on the down=Low. Hey, Michelle, those lips you kiss.. do you know where they have been???
That’s it.
Might have something to do with ‘reach’. LOL
Too bad for folks that have it, particularly those who didn’t invite it. But I honestly wouldn’t spend a nickel on AIDS. My wife and I took an AIDS vaccine that they offer down at our church.
And I’d bet that same demographic has a real strong propensity toward being heroin shooters, which doesn’t help your chances.
No no no. Christianity. The Vatican. The Pope!
Plus --- I just read this yesterday--- Bush 41.

NO. It’s an idiot disease. With all the knowledge and warnings out there, only an idiots put themselves at risk for this totally avoidable HIV. Mr. Wilson is an idiot.
I could have told them taht without a poll.
I could also add that they are giving it free of charge to any black or white woman stupid enough to be free with their sexual pleasures to bi-sexuals.
Ladies when you lay down with a stranger you better be sure you don’t rise up with fleas.
Much of it comes from black men who have sex with other men while incarcerated. They don’t consider that as “gay” sex, just sex. I have heard that opinion expressed more than once.
No, AIDS has always been Reagans fault...
From the early 80s
“Death by boogaloo...”
God forbid anybody should mention the M-word (MORALITY) in this discussion.
Really? Who’da thunk it?
Right you are. What was I thinking? Reagan, the Pope, and probably the Israelis.
I think Obama is one of them.
NO THE REGEAN TAX CUTS
Anal sex with a couple hundred partners every year will do that.
