(be safe out there folks.........)

Soooo scary.   Precautions at all times including testing and exchanging results.  Trust no one! 

dayum is right & people need to be more selective with choosing their partners and most importantly wrap it before they tap it!

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I just repeated that to my child like umpteen times today!!!!

Her reply "You act like I'm just out here doing".......I didn't know what to say after that

 

Just say it only takes one time with one infected person so unless you're 100% celebate you are at risk.  Its so hard to get through to our youth.  I long for when a shot of penicillin cured all std's. 

Hey ((((Doug))))

That is heart breaking statistics. I agree...be safe!

So sad.  Good thing I decided to go ahead and be a spinster.

Birdman,

Well I guess that kills the Freaky Friday post vibe for today huh?


Butterum...  Seriously though -

 Blacks have a higher rate of males going in an out of prison for would-be minor offenses (like low-level crack/weed sales), experiencing prison r@pe by other infected individuals also incarcerated, and then returning to their waiting wives/girlfriends/babymamas who may spread it on after the relationships are done.

Scary! 

Double A...you a trip.  I didn't think about the "Buzz Kill" thingy for the Freaky Friday...LOL.

(I'm sure what you've said has some inpact on the numbers...but also the use of said drugs and it's immediate effect on the HIV numbers.)

I've got a very good friend who's admitted to me that he's likes the "rocks".  And he's told me "just a few" of the things that go on in  "rock houses"...and I'm thinking..."Those activities can't be good for the HIV numbers in The Hood".

If anything happens to my husband (God forbid), I am getting me an Asian man!
