Alarming Rise in STD's among bisexual and gay black men

 

Of the 19 million people that were diagnosed this year with a sexually transmitted disease, one population has been hit the hardest — young, gay and bisexual black men.

While syphilis rates fell 1.6% from 2009 to 2010, the rate among young black men rose 134% since 2006, according to the recently released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

HIV infections are also spiking within this population.

St. Louis Health Director Pam Walker told CBS News KMOX that of the 400 new cases of gonorrhea and 126 new cases of chlamydia she’s been seeing, 90% are African-Americans between the ages of 15 and 24.

Walker believes online meetups are a serious culprit.

“You don’t have to spend a week in a bar to find somebody you’re comfortable with,” she said, “People are doing it online and they’re doing it faster.”

Across all populations, the rate of chlamydia has steadily increased to 1.3 million cases in 2010.

Researchers believe the rise is due to better screening and more patients being propertly diagnosed.

Blacks and Hispanics are more affected by STDs than whites. This is likely due to social and economic factors — such as low income and lack of access to health care.

Half of sexually transmitted diseases are being spread among the young, according to the CDC.

Young people represent 25% of sexually active people in the U.S. but account for nearly half of new STD cases.

Treating sexually transmitted diseases costs the U.S. $17 billion annually.

I agree Smitty.

BlackFu, you might want to reread that.  She didn't say anything about black women accepting lesbianism.  She pretty much said, why do black men give a damn about what we (society) think about their sexuality when yall don't "check in" with us about anything else (like dating white, asian women, etc.).  

But since you mentioned pride...I live in NYC and when I'm in town, I go to pride events because I love the gays and it's a good time.  I accept BOTH the lesbian and gay lifestyle.  The HUGE difference between me accepting a lesbian and a gay man is, I KNOW I'm not f****** a woman.  There's no ifs ands buts or room for mistakes because I know she's a woman and I'm not into that.  

If a dude is lying about being gay, how the f*** are we supposed to know??

who says we have to accept lesbianism as well. Bc straight women sure as s*** get perked up when pride comes around yearly. What im simply saying is you cant have it one way and not accept the other which is really b******* imo

And Blackfujones, why does society have to accept black male homosexuality? No one had to accept y'all dating white, Asian, or Hispanic women so what is so different about your sexuality? Nothing because society's acceptance doesn't have anything to do with black men being on the downlow. Men who do it just like double dipping and know that most black women would not be want a man who goes both ways. As the HIV/AIDS numbers show, we're right, y'all can't be trusted to go both ways safely.

Well, first let me say that I'm mostly talking about HIV.  

Second, it's a known fact that HIV in particular is most prevalent in the gay community- NOT lesbian.  Not making an excuse for why lesbians are better than gay's, it's just a fact.

Third, I don't know many (I don't know ANY, to be honest) bisexual or lesbian women who don't admit to being such.  That means, if a dude was nervous about contracting some type of disease from f****** a lesbian, he has an option because he knows how she gets down.

Fourth, I think at this day in age, it's perfectly O-K to be gay.  Swing a bat in any direction and you hit 5 openly gay dudes.  The problem is if black men admit to that s***, and stop blaming society, they'll realize that they are ok. 

Lastly, I'm a straight woman concerned about issues that straight women have to worry about.  I'm not checking for studies about lesbian or bisexual women giving men diseases.  YOU find that s*** (good luck with that one) and post it.

Lol! and who the hell said we weren't accepting of it? The only thing I'm not accepting is... being fully aware that a d*** entering me, has also been inside of a man. I also live in NYC and have no problem supporting Pride but I'm not out there try to flirt with lesbians. Last time I checked, majority of hate crimes are straight men vs gay men.

Men usually want to stop the blame game when the blame is on them.

Tone said:

We really need to stop this whole blame game crap and teach people to be safer when it comes to sex.  The whole argument you are trying to make is if women knew that the men where  gay they would not have sex with them can't even be proven. 

 

Sissy said:

You are really speaking on something you have no idea about.  There are plenty of dudes out here who are gay (or most likely bisexual) on the low.  

And not only can you can see track marks from a drug addicted person who uses needles, they have certain ticks that are behavioral of a person addicted to drugs.  
Tone said:

The avg woman won't even deal with a down low dude in her life time. You are taking a small issue and making it bigger then it really is.  A drug addicted is more likely to give a black women hiv then a dude on the down low

Sissy said:

smh...It's a damn issue because niggas lie about it, not because we chose to deal with downlow dudes. Downlow = secretly f****** other dudes.  Key word here is secretly.

Sissy said:

For the most part, the world is definitely oversexed. However, I do think that although black men may not have the highest numbers of HIV like everyone likes to say, they are DEFINITELY on the downlow.  Not all- of course, but many bisexuals don't even consider themselves as such.  This totally puts women at a disadvantage because now we're at risk.

 

Not talking about the women having unprotected one-night stands, but about the women in 2,3,4- 10 year relationships with bisexual dudes who end up giving her the monster because she thought she could trust him.  
OLD $PICE PINE NEEDLE said:

I get your point. But I'm tired of all these 'stats' that pop up every 3 months and only attribute any rise in sexual STD's to blacks/hispanics when they know damn well that the sexual high risk lifestyle is well represented evenly by all the races on planet earth.

These subliminal messages they send sometimes is meant for a certain uninformed audience. It's our job to point it out.

Sissy said:

I agree with them lumping other people in with blacks but I do feel like there are so many bisexual dudes out here who don't speak up- and put the women at risk. I don't think I know a women who is cool with dating a bisexual.
OLD $PICE PINE NEEDLE said:

Someone said on here that they look at the stats from 'walk in clinics' and they always lump all this on blacks. Now they need to look at the overall stats from everyone country wide and there is a level playing field for all races.

Because then you might understand what a down low man is because your answers show that you don't know. But hey do you.

Pretty much and that is why most of us ignore what he has to say. It is really obvious that he has the most vague inkling of what we are talking about most of the time.

So glad I've got my coochie on lock. LOL!

At what point, though, do black women admit that they're partially culpable in this rise in new HIV infections. I'm not talking about women who contracted the disease while married, frankly, that's not a large swath of the new infections. It's women with boyfriends who feel comfortable having sex without condoms and without regular STD testing. I'm not saying DL men aren't a problem, but personal responsibility has to be taken into account.

These subliminal messages they send sometimes is meant for a certain uninformed audience. It's our job to point it out.

I agree with them lumping other people in with blacks but I do feel like there are so many bisexual dudes out here who don't speak up- and put the women at risk. I don't think I know a women who is cool with dating a bisexual.

Someone said on here that they look at the stats from 'walk in clinics' and they always lump all this on blacks. Now they need to look at the overall stats from everyone country wide and there is a level playing field for all races.

So you are saying it is a woman's fault when she believes her man when he says he's straight and he gives her HIV/AIDS because he lied and is actually on the DL? So no woman should ever trust anything that comes out of a black man's mouth? Seriously? Wow...

Rad said:

At what point, though, do black women admit that they're partially culpable in this rise in new HIV infections. I'm not talking about women who contracted the disease while married, frankly, that's not a large swath of the new infections. It's women with boyfriends who feel comfortable having sex without condoms and without regular STD testing. I'm not saying DL men aren't a problem, but personal responsibility has to be taken into account.

Sissy said:

smh...It's a damn issue because niggas lie about it, not because we chose to deal with downlow dudes. Downlow = secretly f****** other dudes.  Key word here is secretly.

Tone said:

Most women wont even deal with a man that is on the down low. I bet you don't know one woman that has been with a man that is on the down low but yet it is an issues that black women have to face.

Sissy said:

Well, first let me say that I'm mostly talking about HIV.  

Second, it's a known fact that HIV in particular is most prevalent in the gay community- NOT lesbian.  Not making an excuse for why lesbians are better than gay's, it's just a fact.

Third, I don't know many (I don't know ANY, to be honest) bisexual or lesbian women who don't admit to being such.  That means, if a dude was nervous about contracting some type of disease from f****** a lesbian, he has an option because he knows how she gets down.

Fourth, I think at this day in age, it's perfectly O-K to be gay.  Swing a bat in any direction and you hit 5 openly gay dudes.  The problem is if black men admit to that s***, and stop blaming society, they'll realize that they are ok. 

Lastly, I'm a straight woman concerned about issues that straight women have to worry about.  I'm not checking for studies about lesbian or bisexual women giving men diseases.  YOU find that s*** (good luck with that one) and post it.

Let me say this......if society would just f***** accept black male homosexuality maybe then will folks shut the f*** up about men on the downlow...jesus it gets on my nerves. The fact that we parade women around f***** and sucking whomever they want to, and then you chastise males who want to do the same but can't simply because folks find it gross.  I've f***** quite a few bi sexual chicks and a few lesbians and frankly that s*** gets old and boring when you get older.  And as a person who hates inequality in regards to anything it p***** me off.  You have all these so called "studies" about how downlow men are giving out disease left n right to women, yet the same study hasnt been done for women who are OPENLY doing the same thing.

Sissy said:

For the most part, the world is definitely oversexed. However, I do think that although black men may not have the highest numbers of HIV like everyone likes to say, they are DEFINITELY on the downlow.  Not all- of course, but many bisexuals don't even consider themselves as such.  This totally puts women at a disadvantage because now we're at risk.

 

Not talking about the women having unprotected one-night stands, but about the women in 2,3,4- 10 year relationships with bisexual dudes who end up giving her the monster because she thought she could trust him.
