About one-half of one percent of young adults living in homes in the United States are infected with the AIDS virus, around 600,000 people, the National Center for Health Statistics reported on Tuesday.
The agency’s snapshot of HIV infection in the United States shows the rate continues to be stable and confirms other surveys that show black men are far more likely than other Americans to be infected.
The report covers adults aged 18 to 49 and only people living in households—not prisoners, the homeless or patients in institutions, said Gerry McQuillan, who led the study.

Men were more likely to be infected (0.7 percent) than women (0.2 percent). People infected with the herpes simplex type 2 virus, known as genital herpes, were 15 times more likely to also be infected with HIV, according to the report, available at www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db04.pdf.
Black men aged 40 to 49 had the highest rate of infection, at close to 4 percent, the survey found.

“We do see the disparities by race/ethnicity,” McQuillan said. “We can say the prevalence is basically stable in this U.S., household-based population.”
The report does not include data on how many people are newly infected with HIV.
These numbers have not been released but AIDS advocacy groups say the new figures will put the number of Americans infected with the AIDS virus each year close to 50 percent higher than previous estimates, at 55,000 instead of 40,000.

But, as per the LibMed, white women should have sex with any black man they can get their hands on?
The problem with HIV/AIDS was, conspiracies-aside, the U.S. Government didn’t isolate all cases with it to a remote island somewhere, like a leper colony.
I’m not heavily-religious, but maybe, in some macabre twist, this is God’s way of telling White America to:
End promiscuity and
End miscegenation?

On black radio, blacks discuss AIDS as a conspiracy. They tell each other that everything mainstream medicine and the drug companies tell them about AIDS is a lie. Hence, they don’t believe HIV causes AIDS and anti-AIDS drugs are useless.
Gays, many of whom believe that AIDS is at least a conspiracy of inaction by government and medicine, have taken a realistic view that modern medicine is their best hope. They have largely adopted common sense measures such as ‘safer sex’ and condoms to greatly slow new infection rates. They’re not perfect but they’re smart enough to see facts.
Even if you want to believe AIDS is a conspiracy, knowing the vectors of transmission and taking precautions requires an intelligence high enough to know right from wrong and make well reasoned decisions.

In a related story, President Bush wants to triple the Africa AIDS spending. My opinion? World history’s biggest earmark, benefitting drug companies.
The UN has admitted that its AIDS numbers were fudged upward to make the AIDS problem seem much larger than it is, in order to hustle money.

Abnormal behavior causes AIDS. No, that isn’t its pathogenesis but it is an absolutely necessary component to allow an appreciable number of AIDS cases in a population. It opens up a biological niche for the disease, one that, under normal circumstances, is not possible. Blacks have such a high incidence because of widespread psychopathic behavior among them…drug use, rape (especially in prison), completely abnormal patterns of sexuality, even intentional spreading of the disease.
This gives a very powerful argument for segregation, to close the vector for a disease that has the potential to cause death on a massive scale. A very good place to start is the prison system.

AIDS is a very expensive disease. If you get it you are going to loose everything you own, and then die. Shortly after AIDS was first revealed it became apparent that white heterosexuals were very unlikely to get AIDS. The people who were at high risk for AIDS new this. They pulled off a disinformation and political lobbying campaign that got the government to turn over tax dollars to find a cure for AIDS. In reality what happened was the homosexuals spent a couple of million dollars to bribe politicians into spending hundreds of millions of tax payers’ dollars. A good investment for them, but bad for the rest of us.
Normal tax payers were reluctant to contribute to finding an AIDS cure. they felt that people who got AIDS, homosexuals and drug addicts, engaged in repulsive and reckless behavior. Tax payers would rather see their money go into medical research for finding a cancer cure or heart decease cure. If you stop and think about it, your love one or you are going to die of cancer or heart decease because government steered money away from a cure a likely disease and into cure for a rare decease, AIDS, that strikes a tiny group of Americans.
Another way the government harms normal Americans is in the unfair regulating of the health insurance companies. Insurance companies must accept the expensive AIDS high risk candidates. Insurance companies can rightly discriminate against smokers, but not against high risk AIDS candidates. This forces normal people who have no chance of getting AIDS to pay for the reckless life style of the high risk group.

“Black men aged 40 to 49 had the highest rate of infection, at close to 4 percent, the survey found.”
Something to think about, for all those ditzy white girls who think its really hip to sleep with black males. Of course, there are other dangers too:
http://www.kmbc.com/news/15131820/detail.html
Another white girl (Olivia Jackson, and pregnant) murdered by her black boyfriend (Sedale Fox, the father of her unborn child), in Leavenworth KS. The black killer’s myspace pays homage to his gansta’ idol Tupoc, and “Thug’s Life”, with the slogan “Only the strong survive”. I guess the dopey white girl was really enamored with this. This follows the white girl in Tyler TX just murdered (and then cannibalized) by HER black boyfriend. And we all remember the white woman in Canton OH pregnant with her second illegitimate child of a black male, Bobby Cutts, who murdered her. How many other cases have we just not heard about. The media is normally very careful to never show the photo of the victim and the killer in the same news story. It would be very interesting to see a study on the percentage of white females whose boyfriends are black (8%???) compared to the percentage of MURDERED white females who were killed by BLACK boyfriends (50%???). What these ding-a-ling white girls who associate with black males are too stupid to realize is that not only do they face a wildly increased risk of AIDs and a host of other incurable STDs that are RAMPANT among black males, but they face a wildly increased risk of being murdered too.

I’m shocked that black men are irresponsible and careless in their sex practices. However, I’m perplexed. Just how can black men have a higher rate of infection than black women unless….. wait for it…… wait…… unless they are having a lot of homosexual sex with one another. Just a question? Maybe someone can help me out with this.

I sit and wonder how the leftists will blame whitey for the high black hiv infection rate. If you are infected it is because of personal choices you have made. It would be difficult to blame whites, or anyone else for that matter, for choices an individual makes for himself. But I bet the left is hard at work right now figuring a way to lay blame at the feet of whites.

I once read that one-fourth of all black males have graduated from the prison. While they are in prison, they “learn” from the “veterans” at the prison..

This coming “AIDS epidemic” about which we’ve been hearing since the ACT UP days of 20 years ago is a huge fraud in which the federal government has been complicit. Remember those old PSAs which claimed your grandmother could get it? AIDS remains what it has always been - a rather are disease that is transmitted behaviorally and one which the average person runs an extremely small risk of contracting. These latest numbers simply prove (or re-prove) it.

I am so grateful that I never got involved with a black male. That was never an attraction for me to start with.
The 8:58 post (1/30) is dead-on. These relationships many times end in disaster. Many, many years ago, a friend of mine took up with a black man. He killed her baby daughter (not his child). Smashed her to death. The child was eight months old.
This never made the national news—so many of these stories never do.

Are there any medical people here who can enlighten me on the actual medical definition of ‘epidemic’?
I know that as a technical term it actually means a certain percentage of any given population infectedby a given disease, but I am unsure of the actual percentage an ‘epidemic’ is defined at.

This is the black man’s high tech, anti-white weapon of choice.A black man from N.Y.C. about ten years ago was convicted of spreading his HIV disease deliberately to the white population of Jamestown N.Y.; he caused an outbreak among either the town whores or raped non-whores. He was given jail time, certainly not commenserate with his life-endangering , racist hate crime that he inflicted.

“Just how can black men have a higher rate of infection than black women unless….. wait for it…… wait…… unless they are having a lot of homosexual sex with one another. Just a question? Maybe someone can help me out with this.”
That’s certainly one explanation, but not the only possibility. It could be that most black women are not infected, but the few that are infected are extremely promiscuous. If one AIDS-infected prostitute has sex with hundreds of black men… .

Over 600,000 Americans had actually died of AIDS. Why do we never, ever, learn the race of those who have died from it?
Those darn televangelists. They’re right again. AIDS is different from every other disease.

What is interesting to me, which no one seems to bring up (even on the AmRen board so far) is that while gays are prohibited from giving blood due to the possibility of AIDS, there is no prohibition on black males, or anyone who has had sex with a black male from giving blood, despite the fact that the AIDS rate for them is higher than homosexuals. Is PC culture really so ready to put lives at risk in order for everyone to “feel good”?
Posted by Karl Alfred at 10:59 AM on January 31
I don’t think the high black male rate of HIV is necessarily evidence of unusually high levels of homosexuality.
Just imagine a town in which there were 10 black HIV+ prostitutes and 100 black men paying for their services. It would be easy to see how those ten prostitutes could infect many times more men.
Men tend to be more promiscuous than women and are much more likey to use prostitutes. Blacks are on average more promiscuous than whites, hence the higher rates for men than women and for blacks than whites.

Johann von Braun:
Living life ‘on the down low’ means that black men have sex (just sex, so they think) with other black men. These black men are at times married with kids and ‘successful’, in financial and societal terms. I saw this on a Ricki Lake show and on an episode of Law & Order. But, I’ve also heard it spoken of, in a face-face conversation, by black men and women.

Michigan Patriot was talking about Nushawn Williams, a man who deliberately infected over a dozen young, naive white women.
Posted by Michael C. Scott at 7:55 PM on January 31
Normal healthy heterosexual Whites who don’t do drugs or interracial sex have very little chance of being infected…….period. If you do some research, you’ll find that alot of these “Whites” who are infected share a common ancestry with each other.

When you have sex with someone, you also have “had sex” with the other sex partners of that person. How many guys are carriers of STDs without having outward symptoms themselves.

I’ve read that the incidence of genital herpes amongst American black women is in excess of 50%.
That means, of course, if you say the word ‘herpes!’ out loud and point a finger every time an American black woman appears on your TV screen, that by the law of averages your more likely to be right tha wrong.
A devilish amusing past-time to be played at home whenever you see a particularly pompous, self-important prominent black woman on the television.

To Peter Williams:
Can you cite the source for your claim that more than 50% of black women in the USA have herpes?
If true, there’s one more reason not to engage in Caucasian-black miscegenation!
I never believed in the sayings, “the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice”, and once you’ve had black, you’ll never go back”. To me, they were just statements made by people trying to build up their own self-image by hyping sexual prowess.
