Can dating a black man in America mean increased risk of HIV AIDS

Can dating a black man in America mean increased risk of HIV AIDS?
The statistics on HIV and AIDS in America clearly show that ethnic minorities account for a disproportionate number of cases in most states. African Americans are particularly severely affected by the virus, and relatively high rates of HIV can be found in virtually every sector of the black community. The latest Centers for Disease Control report on the US epidemic shows that in 2007, the vast majority of people diagnosed with AIDS were black men.

I suppose so but,you have a higher risk if you were gay. You're not trying to hate on anybody ...............are you?

Just because a country is known for that doesn't mean every african- american has it. Wise up. Its not like everybody else in the world doesn't have a portion in there population having HIV and AIDS. If your that worried about it, and this should go to anybody no matter who they are, take a test before you do the deed.

you're right hiv/aids is very high in gay and bisexual black men in the age range of 13-29. its 1.6% higher than white males an 2.3% higher in hispanic males. most white males become infected at an higher age 30-39 years of age.never under estimate your chances of personal risk with any body or any race!
