Will dishing out more money help? All the money in the world doesn't make up for using good common sense.

Wait, I thought it was the gays??!!? Now it's the blacks?!?!?! Maybe it's really the black gays!

Or it is gay blacks....... huh

So the baby born to a mother with HIV should have had more common sense?

I think the point was that the US government was giving more money to other countries to fight AIDS than they were giving to preventive measures here.

Terry Moran talks to experts in several key areas that contribute to the spread of AIDS in black America, including the disproportionate number of black men in prison. Prisons have AIDS infection rates five times higher than outside the walls, and many men go into prison HIV negative and come out infected, often without knowing it.

Now this would be a scary thought for single women.

I wonder what the chance of more money having towards people becoming responsible for their actions and life styles?

That's my point hawk-fan.Money is not the answer.People have to resort back to using common sense to avoid getting this disease.

I thought they cured aides, I mean Magic Johnson is still alive and looking healthy and he got it what, 15 years ago or so? I'm not joking, I thought that if not cured, that they found a way to control it. You don't see or here too much about like you use to. I remember movie and rock stars were always dieing from it a while back, but now, not so much.

Pike - have you ever watched Lock Up? That truly is a scary thought. Most men are only gay for the stay so once they are released back into society, so will be the virus if they are HIV postive.

Black men are more than twice as likely as white men to have multiple female partners at the same time, these studies show. Rates of all sexually transmitted diseases are higher among African Americans than other groups, and once those rates start to rise, says Dr. Jim Thomas of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, "It starts a cycle. Because now when a person goes to have sex with someone, the chances that the new partner is already infected are relatively high."

Red Herring. Babies born with HIV constitute a low number of annual HIV cases.

Contracting HIV for the high majority of new cases is the result of poor decision making abilities, coupled with the drive for instant gratification:

1) Having unprotected gay sex 2) Sharing needles 3) Having unprotected straight sex
