How do we as blacks or minorities overcome this issue that is HIV? Is it possible? Being in school and taking an Epidemiology class I’ve learned that you have to look at the problems on the macro and micro level. I think this video does a good job of that, the big problem is HIV but what people aren’t seeing is what it takes for people to get to the point of not protecting themselves. I don’t want to say too much, I think the video is able to stand alone.
Part 1:
Part 2:
Maybe this video is really moving to me because I focus a lot on HIV/AIDS prevention. Or maybe it’s just because this is a really good video. Some really good points were made: men who have sex with men statistics, the black church, heterosexual men “fighting for space,” “no black man a-phobia,” HIV being a condition and self-love. The video leaves you with self-love as a solution so what can we as a people do, to get you to love yourselves?
Let me just say...I know what the reality is among young people as far HIV being a "condition" but that upset me. Why would anyone elect to live on medication for the rest of their lives whether its 1 pill or 50?! That's basically saying you're not taking it seriously when it's not something to be played with. Why do that to yourself when it doesn't have to be that way? Sorry, just needed to get that out.
