that us deserving better translates into behavior change, and before the behavior changes, we have 2 get 2 the point where we acknowledge the issue in the 1st place. Instead of getting 'hung-up' on the estimated percentage, we need 2 get smart about our sexual behavior, period. There is no getting around that, but people TRY to skirt that issue, by waving the DL off as some attempt by the public health community(&/or JL King) 2 "demonize" Black men. That is a really naive approach 2 this issue, w/ African-Am. female HIV/AIDS rates steadily rising. We can CHOOSE to turn a blind-eye to this, and die. Or get smart. It's really that simple. & don't get me wrong: the fact that a man engages in bi-sexual behavior is not necessarily the issue. The SECRECY is the issue, PARTICULARLY if the sex is unprotected(with the men, then w/ the woman, who is supposed to be the monogamous partner).
