The issue that I actually have with this crap that the Rapper game is the comment that he made pretty much assuming that just because your gay you have aids. That is such discrimination on so many levels. And why he is so worried about how many closet rappers their are, try to come up with a solution to stop the spread of HIV retard.

Enough of rappers spouting off about HIV I'll informed facts. Logic (?) should tell him that if say one quarter of a million black women are HIV Positive... Hypothetically speaking, that there ARE one quarter of a million Positive black men on the Down Low? Spare us this crap and put your mouth to work and help instead of spreading falsehoods. IV drug use, dirty shared needles, prostitution, etc., are contributing factors and those who do NOT know their HIV status are bigger causes of HIV in our black community. Besides, the virus doesn't choose where it finds a human home or care. Hey " The Game" can you see Africa and their huge HIV problem? Heterosexual to hetersexual contact. Stop the blame 'game' it helps no one and makes you and others who think as you do sound and look foolish! His mind is worse than t he narrow minded male view in the very early 1980's when the world became aware of HIV, when I was asked by a black male friend of mine: "what are you worried about, this only affects white men!" EVERYONE needs to know their HIV status and be tested often if you are sexually active with multiple people. Back in the day there was no HIV Cocktail for anyone either so there is a life after HIV should it become your life. New man, new woman in your life, both go take an HIV test. Correct information is a life saver!h

I read your article, and another reason isn't mentioned. That many Black men who go to jail/prison and have sex with men don't look at it as a Homosexual act or "thing". To them, it's just sex, no more, no less. Then when they are released,they find a girlfriend/wife/female to have sex with to "re-prove" their "manhood" to themselves. And do you think they are going to tell anyone they had sex with a male while incarcerated? No! Then there is the IV drug usage by those who are incarcerated. That in itself is the fastest way to pass on STD's or other infection's/problem's. Being incarcerated is one of the main routes to becoming infected with HIV

I love your writing style!! I believe I got HIV from a bisexual ex boyfriend somewhere in my past. I grew up in theater so most of my friends in high school and college we're bisexual or bi curious It's not such a hush hush thing these days to get drunk and 'play' with your friends together. It is NOT talked about however the risk the youth is taking when they 'play' their 20's away.
