Bc roads are racist, therefore they are being forced into riskier lifestyles and the cycle continues bc the bad white man keeps the down. Well that is what this administration would say, but possibly even in a leas coherent way than that

I read an article several years ago on this subject. It stated the reason for the high AIDS cases in heterosexual Africans was untreated venereal disease. This caused lesions on genitals allowing the virus a pathway into the blood stream. That and resistance to condom use. Seems plausible.

The same reason syphilis also disproportionately affects the black population. The syphilis rate among blacks is almost 5 times higher than that of the white population.

Well the Democrat theory is Republicans created Aids to target and kill homosexuals and blacks.

They get paid per baby. Gots to have the sex unprotected for that to happen.

Most likely due to a lack of adequate health care. There is a drug available which is about 95% effective in preventing HIV infection...it can cost close to $30K a year. Lower incomes impact all health issues. Black Americans earn about 65% of the average salary of white Americans.

probably because they disproportionately have unprotected sex? Im certain you'll see the same phenomenon in unwanted pregnancies.
