U right my n*gga. I even heard a stat, don't know if it is true, but 60 percent of black males in ATL are gay or bi. And plus ATL is going up in the aids department among males. So sad....... |
I believe it. I'm not downing my school cus I love it and the AUC to death but the AUC has ALOT of cats who are GAY\BI\DL. At Morehouse we have this thing called crown forum and the guy in charge of providing the official statistics of things of that nature to the government and country was the guest speaker (he's a brother btw). This blew my mind because even I have to worry about it indirectly... i'll never forget what he said...
"1 out of 3 black males who sleep with men in ATL has been tested for HIV has tested positive"... emphasis on the ones who were tested :? .
Alot of uneasy faces started looking around the room. I thought it was funny at first but it really isn't all.
Now... lets look at my chances of contracting HIV with some simple statistics...
Scenario:
I'm a straight male involved with a straight woman. She has only had ONE partner. You know nothing about her partners lifestyle and previous sex life, also he hasn't been tested. Now I had sex with her before she was tested. What are my chances of contracting HIV as a result of her partner.
to make things easier lets turn that first stat to 50% instead of 60%.
What we assume to know so far according to the statistics earlier:
1 out of 2 men in ATL are gay/bi and sexually active
(this is an exaggeration because not all gay/bi men have sex)
1 out of 3 have contracted HIV
33% of 50% is a...
16.5% chance of me contracting HIV... :x
This is not to mention his previous partners even if it was a straight relationship with all of them or even other STDS. Of course that 16.5 is not an accurate number but u get the point... the real stat isn't that far away.
We are basically playing russian roulette with our health... right now the odds are in our favor (not by that much) but we as a people have been playing ourselves into thinking we are invincible instead of realizing how vulnerable we are. Maybe god is allowing this to happen because its his way of telling us something...
