We can no longer wait on others. My hope is to live out the principles of Kwanzaa 365 days a year through this blog. Anyhow, I'm glad you are motivated to action by this blog post...<BR/><BR/><B>Lisa</B>You lay out many of the issues that impact our community when it comes to HIV/AIDS. I participated in the 'Day of Blogging' for World AIDS Day in 2007 and 2008. I hope to partipate in Feb 2009 when the national focus is on AIDS impact in Black community. Quite frankly, until this week I was unaware of this HIV/AIDS Awareness Day in March. I agree that our daughters and sisters need to understand more about this deadly disease and how to avoid it in the first place...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-52447321182572233982009-01-07T13:30:00.000-05:002009-01-07T13:30:00.000-05:00Hi there Villager,There were many posts that appea...Hi there Villager,<BR/><BR/>There were many posts that appeared on many blogs last month for World AIDS Day.<BR/><BR/>I believe that the issue of AIDS/HIV transmission among black women in this country has many, many cultural layers that we really haven't even begun to unpeel...<BR/><BR/>There are unmet emotional needs that cause a level of desperation in black women that fuel exploitative emotional contracts being unheld with black men they choose to allow in their lives...these men often tell them that good black men are scarce and that they won't find anyone easily...<BR/><BR/>This is psychological warfare so that the woman will accept whatever relationship terms are presented to them...<BR/><BR/>Many women have settled for substitute love...men who are just passing through, getting sex, giving them minimal attention...these women do not ask their sexual partners about their sexual history.<BR/><BR/>If a man tells them his sexual history, the woman often does not take the time to fully investigate and verify what she is being told.<BR/><BR/>Loneliness drives many women to be less selective in their sexual behaviors...even women who don't see themselves as promiscuous or "loose". I encounter many women in the church setting who are utterly shocked to hear that women who have "illegitimate children" (yes, an archaic term!) by multiple men are often perceived as having low standards with men. "Really?!" they exclaim. It never crossed their minds that four children by four different men is perceived as a moral lapse...<BR/><BR/>I haven't even BEGUN to go into the issues about black male sexual behavior...<BR/><BR/>There are just so many issues, Villager, that we have to really delve into if we are serious about discussing women and AIDS in the black community.<BR/><BR/>Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!<BR/><A HREF="http://2008.weblogawards.org/polls/best-small-blog/" REL="nofollow">Lisa</A>LISA VAZQUEZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583559303233985031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-82473442180340483772009-01-07T12:14:00.000-05:002009-01-07T12:14:00.000-05:00Great post, Wayne.
