Nearly Half of All AIDS Infected Americans are Black Men, Women, and Children
We all know that the AIDS crisis in black America is serious, but just how serious? NPR published some stark statistics that paint an awful picture of the AIDS epidemic in black America:
Courtesy: NPR
Of the more than 1 million people in the U.S. infected with HIV, nearly half are black men, women and children — even though blacks make up about 13 percent of the population. AIDS is the primary killer of African-Americans ages 19 to 44, and the mortality rate is 10 times higher for black Americans than for whites.
A new Frontline documentary, Endgame: AIDS in Black America, explores why the HIV epidemic is so much more prevalent in the African-American community than amongst whites. The film is produced, written and directed by Renata Simone, whose series “The Age of AIDS”appeared on Frontline in 2006.
There really is no getting around those numbers. The big question is what do we do about it? How do we save our community from AIDS, as well as other societal plagues that are ravaging our community, such as mass incarceration.

Is this somehow a surprise? Your blog amazes me how you love to discuss statistics such as this, but the underlying issues of how black folks view human sexuality is NEVER discussed…thoughtful, mature, educated discussions will tear away stigmas, and help us fight this malady. Merely talking about the effect, without dealing with the cause, is blowing in the wind…invariably some fool will get to making a “f****t joke” because he/she associates HIV with being gay, and it always goes downhill after that. I will wait to see how this turns out, however.
You may not want to hear it, but most African-Americans get HIV/AIDs throuh male to male s****l contact,see the latest statistic which were done in 2009 which I am sure is much higher now. When we have males going to jail, sleeping with each other and then coming home and sleeping with women, you spread a disease.
Transmission Category Cumulative Estimated # of AIDS Diagnoses, Through 2009*
Adult and Adolescent Males Adult and Adolescent Females Total
Male-to-male s****l contact 529,908 – 529,908
Injection drug use 186,318 87,126 273,444
Male-to-male s****l contact and injection drug use 77,213 – 77,213
Heterosexual contact** 72,183 126,637 198,820
Other*** 12,744 7,032 19,776
* From the beginning of the epidemic through 2009.
** Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.

Awesome,thank you
Which states carries the most Black women, men and children with HIV/AIDS?

Fast Facts
African Americans are the racial/ethnic group most affected by HIV.
In 2009, African Americans comprised 14% of the US population but accounted for 44% of all new HIV infections.
Young African American gay and bisexual men are especially at risk of HIV infection.
African Americans face the most severe burden of HIV of all racial/ethnic groups in the United States (US). Despite representing only 14% of the US population in 2009, African Americans accounted for 44% of all new HIV infections in that year. Compared with members of other races and ethnicities, African Americans account for a higher proportion of HIV infections at all stages of disease—from new infections to deaths.
The Numbers
New HIV Infections
In 2009, black men accounted for 70% of the estimated new HIV infections among all blacks. The estimated rate of new HIV infection for black men was more than six and a half times as high as that of white men, and two and a half times as high as that of Latino men or black women.
In 2009, black men who have s*x with men (MSM)1 represented an estimated 73% of new infections among all black men, and 37% among all MSM. More new HIV infections occurred among young black MSM (aged 13–29) than any other age and racial group of MSM. In addition, new HIV infections among young black MSM increased by 48% from 2006–2009.
In 2009, black women accounted for 30% of the estimated new HIV infections among all blacks. Most (85%) black women with HIV acquired HIV through heterosexual s*x. The estimated rate of new HIV infections for black women was more than 15 times as high as the rate for white women, and more than three times as high as that of Latina women.
Estimates of New HIV Infections in the United States, 2009, for the Most-Affected Subpopulations
Subpopulations representing 2% or less of the overall US epidemic are not reflected in this chart.
HIV and AIDS Diagnoses2 and Deaths
From 2006–2009, the estimated number and rate of HIV diagnoses among blacks remained stable in the 40 states with long-term confidential name-based HIV reporting.
At some point in their lifetimes, an estimated 1 in 16 black men and 1 in 32 black women will be diagnosed with HIV infection.
In 2009, an estimated 16,741 blacks were diagnosed with AIDS in the US, a number that has slowly decreased since 2006.
By the end of 2008, an estimated 240,627 blacks with an AIDS diagnosis had died in the US. In 2007, HIV was the ninth leading cause of death for all blacks and the third leading cause of death for black women and black men aged 35–44.
Prevention Challenges
African Americans face a number of challenges that contribute to the higher rates of HIV infection.
The greater number of people living with HIV (prevalence) in African American communities and the fact that African Americans tend to have s*x with partners of the same race/ethnicity means that they face a greater risk of HIV infection with each new s****l encounter.
African American communities continue to experience higher rates of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) compared with other racial/ethnic communities in the US. The presence of certain STIs can significantly increase the chance of contracting HIV. Additionally, a person who has both HIV and certain STIs has a greater chance of infecting others with HIV.
The socioeconomic issues associated with poverty, including limited access to high-quality health care, housing, and HIV prevention education, directly and indirectly increase the risk for HIV infection and affect the health of people living with and at risk for HIV infection.
Lack of awareness of HIV status can affect HIV rates in communities. Approximately 1 in 5 adults and adolescents in the US living with HIV are unaware of their HIV status. This translates to approximately 116,750 persons in the African American community. Late diagnosis of HIV infection is common, which creates missed opportunities to obtain early medical care and prevent transmission to others. The sooner an individual is diagnosed and linked to appropriate care, the better the outcome.
Stigma, fear, discrimination, homophobia, and negative perceptions about HIV testing can also place too many African Americans at higher risk. Many at risk for infection fear stigma more than infection and may choose instead to hide their high-risk behavior rather than seek counseling and testing.
What CDC Is Doing
CDC and its partners are pursuing a high-impact prevention approach to advance the goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and maximize the effectiveness of current HIV prevention methods. This approach focuses on implementing programs that have shown the greatest potential to reduce new HIV infections in populations and geographic areas at highest risk and on a scale large enough to yield the greatest possible impact on the HIV epidemic. Examples of activities addressing African American communities include:
The Act Against AIDS campaign delivers culturally appropriate messages about HIV infection. “Take Charge. Take the Test.” encourages African American women to get tested for HIV. “Testing Makes Us Stronger,” is aimed at increasing HIV testing among black MSM. For more information, visit http://www.actagainstaids.org.
An active part of the Act Against AIDS campaign, the Act Against AIDS Leadership Initiative (AAALI), is a $16 million, six-year partnership between CDC and the country’s leading organizations that represent the populations hardest hit by HIV. AAALI was initially formed to provide critical funding and to intensify HIV prevention efforts in black communities, but has since expanded to include organizations that focus on black MSM and the Latino community.
Expanded Testing Initiative (ETI). In 2010, CDC announced a second three-year expanded HIV testing program that builds on an initiative started in 2007 to increase HIV testing among African Americans. In the first three years of the project, more than 2.8 million tests were conducted and 18,432 people were newly diagnosed with HIV. Most of the people who were tested (57.4%) and diagnosed with HIV (66.0%) were African American. ETI includes 30 health jurisdictions and focuses on increasing HIV testing among African Americans and Latinos, as well as MSM and injection drug users of all races and ethnicities. Funding for the program was increased from $36 million per year to more than $50 million per year.
In September 2011, CDC awarded $55 million for HIV Prevention Projects for Young Men of Color Who Have s*x with Men (YMCSM) and Young Transgender (YTG) Persons of Color, to provide effective HIV prevention services over five years to YMCSM and YTG persons of color and their partners regardless of age, gender, and race/ethnicity.
CDC provides support and technical assistance to health departments and community-based organizations to deliver effective prevention interventions for African Americans. Efforts include
WILLOW, which emphasizes gender pride among HIV-positive African American women, informs them how to identify and maintain supportive social networks and healthy relationships, and learn coping strategies and safe s*x communication skills;
Sister to Sister and SIHLE provide culturally sensitive health information to empower and educate African American women and adolescent females;
Nia educates African American heterosexual men about HIV/AIDS and its effect on their communities and motivates risk-reduction behaviors by effective condom use;
d-up: Defend Yourself!! and Many Men, Many Voices address social, cultural, and religious norms, promote condom use, and assist black MSM in recognizing and handling HIV risk-related racial and s****l bias. For information, visit http://www.effectiveinterventions.org.
CDC also supports research to reduce HIV risk among African Americans
Thanks for te-publishing these stats that have been around for at least 5 years now. The reasons for the high prevalence of HIV in Black communities are multiple, complex and intersecting. They have been talked about, written about a.d researched to death. The conversation needs to move to what are we willing to do about, how do we support the organizations on the ground working to end this epidemic and how can we as members of communities get our arms around this & work together. It is our problem and it has to be OUR solutions.
One day, we may all read that AIDS was put in the black community as “another” type of genicide.
We all know you can tell some huge lies with statistic. So, my first step would be to question the data, see who put these numbers together and what ax might they have to grind withe Black people.Then look for some semblance of truth. With this deadly type of situation, the truth is really where we need to start.

I agree with those who have commented before me — we research and talk about how “terrible” it is…..that it is “genocide”, yet (obviously), black folks aren’t changing their s****l or other high risk behaviors. If it is genocide it is, in a way, self-imposed. I certainly don’t believe that there are white men and white women out there who are forcing us to have unprotected s*x with multiple partners, who are hiding the condoms, or who are making us inject ourselves with used hypodermic needles.
Thanks for your educated post! It is a matter of common sense and many are lacking.
Now. Please. Poverty and racial oppression damages black self esteem. Low self esteem is cause of much self destructive behavior. These are signs of collapse of an empire that has created mass poverty globally. Much like the seven plagues of Egypt. History is repeating itself. If we do not elevate spiritual over material the world will come to an untimely end. Peace.
1st, there is no scientific paper that can prove the existence of HIV. 2nd, All 31 or more HIV antibody tests are plagued with false positives and non-specificity (i.e. react to over 70 different conditions that are not Aids defining diseases). One can take a test in Memphis, Tn react positive and then go to Montgomery, Ala and react negative. Even on the labels of these tests, it states do not use this test as a measure of HIV in one’s blood.
3rd, viruses don’t discriminate according to s*x, race, age, gender
4th, there is no universal definition for Aids (Canada doesn’t recognize T-Cell count definition nor does several countries in the world). Aids definition is different depending where you live in the world.
5th, Black people are the most gullible and naive people when it comes to disease, science and medicine. Very few of us will go against the grain and critically THINK about what we are being told about our health.
6th, There are more homosexual white males in America (at least 5 times more per capita) than there are Black males, so how does this ONE virus circulate more within the Black community than the White ones. And Black folks didn’t invent the ‘Down Low’ phenomena.
7th, stop believing the lies being spread and do some research outside of what the CDC, WHO, NIH, and other alphabet govt agencies tells u. Check out – Aids, Opium, Diamonds, and Empire by Dr Nancy Turner Banks or Positively False by Joan Shenton or the documentary, the House of Numbers (google video or youttube)….
@Cindi says: we research and talk about how “terrible” it is…..that it is “genocide”, yet (obviously), black folks aren’t changing their s****l or other high risk behaviors. If it is genocide it is, in a way, self-imposed. I certainly don’t believe that there are white men and white women out there who are forcing us to have unprotected s*x with multiple partners, who are hiding the condoms, or who are making us inject ourselves with used hypodermic needles.
BINGO!!!! No one is making one group of people have unprotected s*x or use IV drugs. HIV is predominantly a consequence of stupid actions. It’s sad when it happens to a faithful spouse or when a child is born with it, but that’s bad behavior on the part of SOMEONE. The Bible is very clear: The iniquity of the fathers is visited upon the sons. Your actions have consequences for OTHERS. Keep your freaking legs together and stop dropping your pants for anyone who bends over or falls over with their feet in the air.
@Reggie
3rd, viruses don’t discriminate according to s*x, race, age, gender
EXACTLY!!
I gree with some of the comments; you can lead the horse to water but cannot make him drink it; there are some that just do not care about themselves much less the nexy person that theuy have s*x with. We just have to continue to pray and educate others about this disease. I fight everyday but somtime I wonder do people really care.
Why is it that is seems African-Americans are always dying from something. Why is it that all other races are in the clear when it comes to a lot of diseases. I just don’t think this is a coincidence? Virus don’t discriminate but people do, so how do we know the doctors aren’t responsible. I know African Americans have to responsible for their own actions but we are not the only race having s*x. In the past few years, Black men have been dating other races so how is it that only black women are the only ones getting AIDS??? I don’t think that’s accurate. Check white women that date black men, chinese, mexicans, etc. etc. and then show the statistics. This is the milineum and its almost 2013. Also majority are homosexual. Check them out also because their not all African-American. It seem like all the blame is always placed on Africans-Americans only for anything.
Glad that their are some folks who aren’t taking these ‘stats’ verbatim. We live in a system that intends to keep black folks under thumb, controlled and ignorant. Yes as someone stated above, there may not be a ‘group’ of white folks somewhere plotting the genocide of black folks but all it takes is one. As a healthcare worker these stats conflict STARKLY with what I know to be factual. Most of my patients who test POSITIVE for STDS are WHITE. Not black, not brown. And MOST are repeat offenders! So I ask you, who is having unprotected s*x. How can this be? Because these folks use private doctors who are NOT required to report their patients behaviour. If we were to take a more critical look at the numbers of ALL infected persons we can’t IGNORE the truth. Secondly, the data stated above about the AA community frankly is flawed in that it is culled from the results of poor uninsured blacks who are tested at gov’t sponsored clinics. Any entity that receives gov’t funds MUST report how they spend the money. THIS is how they justify their existence. A non-objective mind wouldn’t even think past those numbers or what the ramifications are. They are essentially lumping ALL AA together and that is not right or fair. Always question stats like these. It makes ZERO sense that we remain 13% (which we should question also) of the population but also on the negative end of every statistic. That isn’t coincidence. Shame on the black folks who feed on this bs and spread it as though it is the truth! My stats will never be proven because private doctors aren’t required to report their patients behaviors. Know the game. There is NO WAY blacks have the highest incidences of AIDS/HIV. Get out of my head with that BS!!!!
I heard something recently that white people who died of aids are having cancer put on their death certificates to hide the fact. Since You work in the profession, how true is this?
If so, that means their numbers are being seriously distorted which I would not be surprised at all.
Wow! I shouldn’t be surprised at what you’ve stated but I am. It is my own observation that the docs I work for operate this way: white patient comes in and is tested for STD’s. Patients are given antibiotics before test results are known/verified. Patients are told tests may result in false/positives. If patients are retested, tests come back NEGATIVE because patient was treated in the interim. Doc can now state that test was negative in patients chart. The implication is that there was no infection to begin with. Pretty dishonest to me. So if these docs are falsifying STD records it shouldn’t surprise anyone the ‘anything other than AIDS’ is being listed as a cause of death. AIDS patients usually do die from sarcomas, cancers only AIDS patients would have so they are ‘playing semantics (word games) with factual info. Smh!!!! WE have to step up OUR game. THEY really are trying to kill us.
One more thing. Stats like this should give us
more reason to do better. The system IS rigged and so far we are at the losing end. How come no questions the evolution of AIDS? It ‘started’ amongst gay white males in San Francisco then mysteriously spread thru Haiti (is there a huge population of gay white males in Haiti?) then spread to Africa> again is Africa a tourist destination for gay white males??? Back to America and now seemingly mostly afflicting AAs??? Nowhere in the history of epididymology has this EVER been possible! EVER! Most of the s****l situations we are exposed to on a daily basis are fueled by white people. Can’t watch regular or cable tv without some s*x act performed or implied. p**n is a billion dollar industry And that’s not because AA have BILLIONS to spend, develop or distribute it!!!!! If white folks are 75% of the population, then their stats should be 75% across the board. They are no smarter or any less s****l than the rest of us!!!!!
Third, why is this called a ‘virus’ then treated with meds???? First thing we learn is that ‘viruses’ like colds can’t be treated and gave to just run their course….QUESTION THAT!!!!
this is scary ladies buy you a s*x toy you will know where the toy been
Genocide by remote control….! Note that Aids is no longer an issue among gay White men. Yet, among minorities, Aids is the issue… Whites, as always, have the resources to address and remedy, whatever health problems affecting them and minorities do not. And remember, whatever ills affecting minority communities,does become an issue until it begin to affect the White middle class, Take drug possession and usage. If arrested, Black drug addicts go to jail. While Whites are directed to drug programs. And the criminal charge dismissed if they stay out of trouble for a year or less….Whereas, Black drug addicts continue to get arrested for drug related crimes and creating long criminal “rap sheets” making them look like hopeless repeat offenders and a danger to society…..and a statistic. Get the picture……Here in NYC, White crime statistics are low…why ? Most quality of life crimes committed by Whites are not reported or downsized to violations. Whereas, Young Blacks in general are subjected to police stop and frisk policies in the thousands. And Blacks are arrested in numbers for possession of a small bag of marijuana, possession of a pen knife or box cutter or for having an open container of beer,etc,…Thus increasing higher arrest numbers among Blacks on Mickey Mouse charges…..Get the picture…..Statistics is whatever they want it to be……
The solutions to the problem will not be found in arguing whether the Black infection rate is high or low. What matters more is, creating preventative measure that will dramatically decrease future cases. Even if you buy into the notion, that a diabolical scheme was devised by whites to eradicate the Black race does not mean that we have to aid and abet the injustice with self – inflicted wounds.WHY GIVE THEM THE SATISFACTION and make it easier for them…Just because someone gives you a cup of poison, it does not mean that you have to pick it up and worse yet, sip from it!!
When we make up our minds to survive and thrive no force alive can alter our trajectory. Our very existence today is proof of that. Lets contract the disease called, I/WE can not be defeated…I heard it is highly contagious….For were there is a will God will prepare a way……!!!!!
Hello to all the above.
I am not big on reading blogs or commenting. Yet I must say how taken I was by the wide range of intelligent and thought provoking commentary.
My film production team just locked on a film similar in nature to the one soon to air on Frontline. I welcome you to view our website: http://www.13percentmovie.com/index.html
You may also fine a piece that was recently published in the Global Post reflecting what we learned from others during our Journey: http://web1.globalpost.com/globalpost-blogs/commentary
Lastly, you may also find of interest screening the extended trailer for our film entitled, Thirteen Percent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GAQnJPzkn4
Hope this will add to the depth of discussion on this very important topic spreading across our community.
Be well
There will never be a cure for aids there is only one way to stop this deadly disease and that is too stop committing fornication and adultery period.While wealthy producers like Spike Lee and Tyler Perry are doing silly movies perhaps they could devote sometime and do a documentary on black people who are sick and dying from this disease in the black community and just maybe it will cause them too think twice about s****l immorality and realize that you are sinning against your own body and this is why this disease exist in the first place
That’s not true! that is what the media wants you to believe, although we all must be careful of a lot of things, we must also be careful of the deciever. I find my own Information and not depend on the main stream media and bias papers who’s main purpose is to make sure the African America race continue to plummet in mind and body. I also dont believe everything I hear.
How did that make you feel when this came out?
discourage, scared, putting the people down that have contracted it?
Ponder this, with all the interacial relationships and men and women of color crossing racial lines, why would you think it is higher amoung us??????
Please everyone take it easy for the ones who will take heed to what I am saying I hope everyone take notes. First and foremost there is a patent for this so called incurable disease. Hmmm I wonder why secondly, it was made to kill the minorities period. The founder of the disease forgot that interracial intercourse happens and ohhh everyone can get it. Dr Gallo is one of the founders look it up. Keep in mind that they are only targeting the
African American as always with the highest rate of every d**n thing. Please keep in mind that Mr. Magic Johnson has been cure years ago he simply sold out and decided that the money is better to keep the cure at bay. Now let me be clear this so called disease is purely a nutritional deficiency (as is most diseases). There is a reason why the Monsanto Co. destroy vegetation with GMO’s that are toxic and kills. Milk contains blood pus bovine growth hormones causes osteoporosis destroys tooth enamel. Look around you think its a coincidence girls have their periods at 9 years old!
There are many natural cure for this immune deficiency. Keep in mind most do not die from this disease they die from the side affects of having their immune system vulnerable. Do not worry, do not think of race think of it as cure and spread the word. It frustrates me that this black website is not aware of the many cures that are out there. Yet they continuously post these kind of articles. Let me be clear every time I see an article like this I will post the cure and hope that people actually listen to it and follow it and spread it. Just because the man said there isn’t a cure doesn’t mean its true. Without further a due here is the cure.
for more info google umlingo wamangcolosi
How you can make your own Umlingo WamaNgcolosi for 1 day:
1. Soak 3 average sized non GE/GMO lemons for about 10 minutes in water with some vinegar or plenty of see salt added. Then scrub each lemon to rid it of whatever the growers have sprayed on it.
2. Cut the lemons with skin and pips in pieces and put them in a strong mixer blender
3. Add 3 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive oil and 3 cups of water
4. Add 3 tablespoons of non GE/GMO local garlic
5. Add 3 tablespoons of non GE/GMO local Ginger (Double this amount for people with Lung problems/ Asthma)
6. Add 3 teaspoons of cold pressed Hemp Seed Oil (Double for Epilepsy & nervous diseases)
7. Add 3 teaspoons of cold pressed Flax Seed Oil
8. Add 3 tablespoons of Aloe Vera extract (with no preservatives)
9. Add 1 teaspoon of tumeric
10. Add 3 tablespoons of a natural Multivitamin/ Multi Mineral supplement (Foodstate multi mineral & Vitamin)
11. Add ¼ teaspoon of Stevia powder.(or less)
12. Add 3 cups of ozon enriched filtered water (We recommend OASIS water 0861 762 747)
13. Blend for 35 minutes. (or less if its a very powefull mixer blender)
14. Drink 1/3 in the morning, 1/3 after lunch and 1/3 in the evening. Repeat this for 6 to 24 weeks non stop, depending on when you feel that you have fully recovered. Then you can maintain your health by eating organic and wholesome. You can also use Umlingo WamaNgcolosi for maintenance by having one bottle twice a month.
In addition on a daily basis the patient should eat 2 large Beetroots/day, 2 Brazil Nuts, 1 Tablespoon of Pumpkin Seeds, as much non GE/GMO organic Fruit and Veggies as possible, drink 2 liters of Filtered water, expose the body to sunshine in the mornings and late afternoons and breath deeply. If the patient feels like drinking Tea, it should only be natural herbal tea like green or Rooibos tea without sugar. (You can use Stevia powder to sweeten)
Incase of Asthma, Do the following breathing exercise a couple of times per day: Breath out, till all is out (bending even over). Breath in on the count of 8, hold your breath for the count of 8, and breath out again, bending over. Singing songs where you have to use up your air is also a good way to do this exercise
Avoid the following until you are free of Symptoms and beyond:
No “normal” tea, no coffee (instant or bean), no alcohol, no juices (even the “natural” ones or the no sugar added ones), no fizzy or gassy drinks, no diet drinks, no milk or yoghurt or any other animal products. No sugar, no refined foods, no bread, no wheat products, no pasta, no flour, no potatoes, obviously no cakes etc., no diet products. No red meat till you are healthy, and than you can eat occasionally “green” meat (from cattle raised organically). Stay away from all processed meats including sausages, and also meat from pork like bacon and ham etc. Do not use artificial sweetners, as they were designed to kill ants, so if you want to get rid of your ants in your garden or house, just sprinkle artificial sweetener powder and the ants will die. Heating oil and frying food make the food and the oil toxic. Avoid especially when sick. Later on you can use Palmflower or Coconut oil to fry occasionally.
NEVER stop your medication on your own (unless you have 100% faith in your own decisions based on real knowledge) – it can be dangerous. Have yourself monitored regularly by a doctor (or a registered nurse who is allowed to adjust your or terminate your medication) for insulin, high blood pressure medication and cholesterol medication should you have doubts. You will need less medication as you stay on Umlingo WamaNgcolosi untill all medication may be stopped. You can reduce medication like painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs yourself, but for example cortisone or steroids (often prescribed for arthritis and asthma are drugs you have to be weaned of, depending how long you have been on it. Although you will not need your asthma pump anymore, keep it with you till you know for sure you will not need it anymore. Don’t just throw it out when you have not used it for a week or two.
Once you are well, you can reduce Umlingo WamaNgcolosi to twice per day. Keep on monitoring your ph so it stays in the normal range, and than you can reduce the Umlingo WamaNgcolosi to once per day. You will notice that when for example you have eaten many things you should normally avoid, like cakes, puddings and meat, your ph may drop and you may feel sluggish the next day. Just for one or two days take again 3 cups of Umlingo WamaNgcolosi, so you can get all the junk quickly out of your body. Do not see this as a diet but a lifestyle change. The saying “You are what you eat” is so true. You eat junk, you become diseased!
Umlingo WamaNgcolosi juice will bring your body back to balance. When you have eaten something that makes you feel nauseas, or causes you to vomit or have diarrhea just take 2 tablespoons of activated charcoal every 2 hours till it has stopped. You can also grind some burned wood or plain charcoal into a powder and take that. We advise on many other diseases like Lupus, cancers, autism, strokes, heart, emphysema, etc. The basic Umlingo WamaNgcolosi juice is than still used but with other things added. You can e-mail us on informationclinic@gmail.com to find out what to add. Keep smiling, 1love
All these stats are way above my head. I can say, that I am probably still around because I did not jump between every pair of legs willing to spread for me. LEARN MORE. f**k LESS!

Despite hardships, black men resilient
Despite many challenges, urban black men are able to negotiate social environments not designed to help them attain health and success, U.S. researchers say.
Michelle Teti, assistant professor of health sciences in the University of Missouri School of Health Professions, said the study explored resilience — how individuals demonstrate positive mental health regardless of stress and adversity — among poor black men living in urban areas.
The researchers interviewed the men to learn about societal stressors in their lives, including racism, incarceration, unemployment and surviving rough neighborhoods.
The study, published in Qualitative Health Research, found many of the men found ways to overcome adversity via five primary forms of resilience: perseverance, commitment to learn from hardships, reflecting and refocusing to address difficulties, creating supportive environments and obtaining support from religion and spirituality.
“Resilience is not a psychological trait that you either are born with or not; resilience can be taught and nurtured,” co-author Lisa Bowleg, an associate professor in the School of Public Health at Drexel University in Philadelphia, said in a statement. “Accordingly, our findings suggest we can use resilience strategies to teach others how to better protect themselves and their s****l partners from risk despite some harsh social-structural realities.”
is was the first thing I picked up on the news today: why doesn’t some of this positive stuff show up on your site BW?

Most Black people run from the truth like IT is the plaque.
What is killing black people and making us sick at greater rates is the HIV/AIDS meme (idea virus) NOT a biological “HIVirus.”
There is something recognized in by “mainstream” medicine as a non-infectious immune disorder. It is called PID (Primary Immunodeficiency). Many if not most of the patients probably never are tested for “HIV.” 96% of the patients diagnosed with PID are white—including mothers who pass the disorder to their children by heredity.
Orthodoxy is not always true. The tests neither detect virus NOR antibodies for a deadly virus. HIV has NEVER been detected or defined using the standards of all other medicine. at the time that Robert Gallo’s team announced the “discovery” of the “HIV,” the fact was not disclosed that 46 of the 72 persons in the study with full-blown AIDS had a test that was negative for the serum called “HIV.” And, conversely, there have always been many people who have been tracked who test positive for this serum but never developed AIDS.
This thing plays by a whole different set of rules—and it’s killing black people disproportionately. Put two and two together, people.
One day, people—especially black people will wonder what great spell we were under to believe this web of horrid silliness.
White biologist explains that HIV/AIDS is a HOAX being used as genocide against black people.

Oh, and as you begin to really “see” remember, calling a person a name, like “AIDS denialist” does not address what the person is saying. The most common tactic in propaganda to discredit the person speaking in opposition to a prevailing position by name-calling or using a derisive term. it is similar to the way white folks will say a black person is “playing the race card” when a black person states that an action or statement is or may be the practice of racism; or calling a female a lesbian who opposes gender mistreatment. Evaluate what is being said and do not be distracted by name-calling.
@Reggie—THANK YOU. Am sooo encouraged that there is another here that is not under the spell.
@Quiana—THANK YOU, also. As I said, I am sooo encouraged that there is another here that is not under the spell.
It is no coin idence that the most oppressed in the world would have self destructive behavior. Stop blaming victims of oppression. You are a coward if you don’t see or wont see this.
