Blacks 'six Times More At Risk' From HIV/AIDS In South Africa Date Posted: Friday 16-Mar-2007 [David from the GlobalPolitician.com spotted this excellent article. This is in line with my own statements and news reports that whites and others are less at risk from AIDS than blacks. Blacks are more promiscuous and that is what the ANC and other black racist Govts don't want to admit! Jan] Black South Africans are six times more likely to contract HIV/AIDS than other South Africans, a conference on the virus was told Wednesday in Johannesburg. "In 2005, blacks were found to be the most affected - of the order six to seven times higher than non-Africans," the head of the health department's HIV/AIDS programme, Dr Nomonde Xundu, said. Xundu was speaking at the presentation of a new National Strategic Plan for AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections. The plan, which runs from 2007 to 2011, will cost 25 billion rand (3.3 billion dollars) and has ambitious aims to halve the number of new HIV infections. The government also aims to provide treatment to a least 80 per cent of HIV-positive people by 2011, the plan showed. Around 40 per cent of the plan's cost is expected to go towards paying for anti-retroviral (ARV) treatment. Women and shack dwellers were particularly vulnerable to HIV infection, Xundu said, with women three times as likely as men to contract the virus. Statistics also show an increase in infections among the 20-25 age group, she said. South Africa has the second-highest number of people living with HIV/AIDS after India. An estimated 5.5 million South Africans are HIV-positive but health officials say they have difficulty finding them because many do not get tested. © 2007 DPA URL: http://www.playfuls.com/news_005445_Blacks_six_Times_More_At_Risk_From_HIVAIDS_I n_South_Africa.html Categories: south africa; Jan]; There are no Readers' Comments for this article Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /hsphere/local/home/janafc/africancrisis.co.za/Global.php on line 1062 " Death" <Death@yourdoor.net> wrote in message > Black South Africans are six times more likely to contract HIV/AIDS ... > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Statistics also show ... Lets look at this again. The envelope please: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/women/resources/factsheets/wsw.htm HIV/AIDS among Women Who Have Sex With Women PDF June 2006 To date, there are no confirmed cases of female-to-female sexual transmission of HIV in the United States database (K. McDavid, CDC, oral communication, March 2005). The following information comes from CDC unpublished data. Through December 2004, a total of 246,461 women were reported as HIV infected. Of these, 7,381 were reported to have had sex with women; however, most had other risk factors (such as injection drug use, sex with men who are infected or who have risk factors for infection, or, more rarely, receipt of blood or blood products). 1111111111111111 so it seems the women aren't passing to each-other, hummm. Lets see how they are becoming infected, the envelope please. Almost 20 percent of the female sex partners of HIV infected males in a California study also became HIV positive during the study period, compared to just 2 percent of male partners of females who were infected. The University of California study was presented at the 11th meeting of the International Society for Sexually Transmitted Disease Research, held August 27-30 in New Orleans, Louisiana. "Male-to-female transmission is significantly more efficient than female-to-male transmission and appears to be even more likely if the man is an intravenous drug user," researcher Nancy S. Padian and colleagues wrote in an abstract presented to the STD... http://www.newsrx.com/newsletters/Womens-Health-Weekly/1995-10-02/2292000WW.html 1111111111111111 Males are passing the disease, yes ? If females are not passing to males, how is it the males are becoming infected ? Note the article, ...with women three times as likely as men to (contract) the virus. contract: to bring on oneself especially inadvertently. 11111111111 LOL, only the uninfected can become in-fected.

What it sounds like is that while female-to-female transmission would normally not be very likely, in the case of lesbians they tend to be crackheads like almost all gay people and thus engage in countless other risky behaviors that would expose them to HIV. For example, the lesbos might be sharing a syringe to shoot up heroin or crystal meth, or they might share straws or turkey basters, and even sharing a crack pipe could conceivably pose a risk from saliva coming into contact with herpes lesions. These behaviors are much less common in straight couples, so the normally low risk of female- to-male sexual transmission is the only risk factor for such couples.
