Radio Iowa: HIV/AIDS conference begins today in Des Moines
Men accounted for 83% of the new HIV cases in Iowa in 2007. Young says men having sex with men remains the number one risk factor for the transmission of the virus that causes AIDS. A disproportionate number of black Iowans are also testing positive.
Repeat to yourself: It is not a gay disease. It is not a gay disease. It is not a gay disease.
“Blacks make up about 2.5% of Iowa’s population but account for about 20 percent of the new HIV diagnoses in 2007. So, this conference will be addressing a lot of interventions and topics related to those specific populations,” Young said. The HIV/AIDS Conference will take place today and tomorrow at the Holiday Inn Conference Center near the Des Moines Airport.
I hear that in order to proportionalize the percentage of blacks with HIV, the State will begin randomly injecting white babies with the virus. It’s all about equality, people.
