It's not a race problem, it's a financial one. You're asking these companies to lose millions by providing *affordable* treatment.

It's not a Black/White issue, it's a GREEN one.

I'm not defending them, but that's just the truth of the situation. These drugs cost billions to develop and they recoup those costs via sales, if they give the shit away they lose money.

That's why we have millions of white people in the US who can't get the drugs THEY need because they can't afford them.

What secret? You think White people get together and hand out Aids Vaccinations and don't tell Black people?

Wake up, Black communities have higher out of wedlock pregnancy rates, so they are obviously not using birth control......which translates (generally) to not having safe sex.

I grew up in White Suburban communities where you'd have maybe ONE kid at the local high school with a baby, how many Black communities can say that?

PLUS, there seems to be a general trend in White people being more likely to engage in Oral sex, which supposedly doesn't transmitt the disease/isn't as likely to...because stomach acid kills the virus before it can be transmitted....couldn't that be a factor?

How about better health and sex education?

How about the fact that disease transmission occurs exponentially, so all it takes is one factor to cause it transmitt faster in one group then another and BOOM one group has a much higher rate.
