From the New York Times News Service- Reported by Lawrence K. Altman

-----------------
According to a new study by the Center for Disease control and prevention shows that the U.S. yearly infection rate of HIV is 40% higher than previously reported.

Formerly the CDC reported 40,000 people became HIV positive in 2006. That figure has now been updated to 56,300  

If this new report is accurate, it means the U.S has under counted new HIV cases by about 15,000 per year for 15 years. That would make roughly 225,000 more cases in the U.S. than previously thought.

Increasing the total estimate to around 1.3 million.

53% of all new infections are by gay and bisexual males of all races. The second highest demographic for HIV infections include African American men and women.

Statistical breakdown of HIV infections.

Whites: 11.5 per 100,000
Blacks: 83.7 per 100,000
Hispanics:29.3 per 100,000

Of course niggers have to have a much higher HIV rate than white people.

I mean God forbid a girl can enjoy a black cock now and again without having to worry about AIDS.

I wish there was a cure for HIV :-(
I feel so incredibly terrible for anyone that has it... It's so sad that sex, which is our basic primitive instinct, can actually kill you.
It's just not fair.
Why is life so cruel?

Oh gosh, that sucks a lot. I guess we have to start asking our partners, are you healthy or not.

You are the dumbest fucking skank on the planet.

Let me show you what seperates the fucking sluts from the people who matter.

---

89 / 100,000 is the African-American prevalence rate.

That represents a fucking 0.089% prevalence percentage.  This rate is not even at an unpredecented 0.1% . That says it all.  Every time you have sex with a member of this group, you have this percentage of contracting HIV. And assuming you don't fuck anyone over the age of 50 (even 45, you nasty fucks) in the present day...

[Age (Years)   Estimated # of AIDS Cases in 2006   Cumulative Estimated # of AIDS Cases, Through 2006*
Ages 45-49 5,628 107,207
Ages 50-54 3,687 59,907
Ages 55-59 2,071 32,190
Ages 60-64 955 17,303
Ages 65 or older 835 15,074]

The risk is significantly lower than 0.089%.

The miniscule 0.089% risk lies in high risk homosexual and high risk heterosexual sex as stipulated by the studies. So, therefore, it lies in hookers, fags and men who have sex with them in the US. And even then you don't even have a ghost of a chance. People who use needles have a higher risk as well. So, people who fuck druggies need to back the fuck up too (there are a lot of druggies in poorer areas, look down).

Half of all African-Americans live below the poverty line so it is there that HIV breeds, in the hookers and druggies. Where people don't have as much education about the disease.

Transmission Category   Estimated # of AIDS Cases, in 2006
Adult and Adolescent Male Adult and Adolescent Female Total
Male-to-male sexual contact 16,001 - 16,001
Injection drug use 4,410 2,385 6,795
Male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use 1,803 - 1,803
High-risk heterosexual contact* 4,558 7,196 11,754
Other** 217 220 437

http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/surveillance/basic.htm#aidsrace

BTW, the 40% increase affects the estimate rate, not the values posted above.

--

Even though the percentage is exceedingly low, it is imperative that one screen partners. But when factoring in these accounts, the risk of HIV is exaggerated to encourage people to make sure they know the status of their partners.
