AIDS let's talk about it!

We obviously need to have a little talk about this I hope you ladies have been taking a look at what was said in our posts at the round table.

I am not really interested in talking too much about DL brothers and things of that nature but clearly there are some misconceptions about how people get AIDS and the differences in how we can get it and the different levels of risk that exist.

Open it up, open it up, open it up!

Serious discussion, no finger pointing, facts are the facts, responsibility and understanding is one of the ways we stop the spread.

someone teach me how to post links.

I read what you said in the "men only" forum and wanted to commend you on what you posted as it related to the differences between men and women's bodies and the gestation of ANY disease!

M_I_M,

I commend you for your support from the start.

It is an honor however I dont think that many men will voice their prehistoric ways of thinking when it comes to the spread of the disease. Many are offended by the talk about DL brothers and only want to rid themselves of any homosexual clouds that should not be hanging over their head.

I am not gay DL or a needle drug user, I have read the stories about AIDS in this country and others I have a male family member who has HIV contracted from drug use and get very nervous about him having unprotected sex with other women because he wont even admit that he has it.

They are including African women in these stats, women that come to this country with AIDS already they are including African men that come to this country with AIDS where the rate of AIDS is far higher than it is here, I am done for the day but I hope that some of the men on this board will be open minded and have an open discussion about this without it becoming a post about DL men. That is probably less than a percent of the AIDS cases in this country and it would be more beneficial to stick to the facts.

Please people don't hijack someone elses thread. I fully explained all of this this morning.

What goes on in the gender specific forum stays there. It's divisive to start discussions and arguments based on what the other gender is saying in their forum. I tried to let someone start this topic this morning, but it immediately began by pointing fingers in these forums. That's not cool.

If I start this now, then what about all the topics in the sistahs forum? Sistahs and Brothers have to right to privately discuss their opinions wiTHout the wrath of the community.

YOu can't have it both ways because YOU decide you don't want to respect the sanctity of the gender-specific forums. I know it's a hot topic, but PHilmoslim did not wish to make it a public forum.

FOR THE LAST TIME, RESPECT EACH OTHER'S PRIVATE FORUMS PLEASE.

let it go and move on. There are plenty of great topics to chose from.

THANK YOU.
