Black Community Homophobia literally equals death. It needs to end.

White Gay Community - needs to stop the barebacking culture and return to sanity.

"Thirty percent of gay black men in Chicago tested positive, the study showed, while Hispanics and white men had rates of 12 percent and 11.3 percent, respectively. A quarter of blacks aged 18-24 tested positive. More than 37 percent of blacks aged 25-34 - the highest of any age group - tested positive. The numbers are similar to national figures."

Black people need to wake up.

Please fix the headline. It makes it sound like every single gay person in Chicago is HIV positive, which of course is not true.

Nothing wrong with an attention grabbing headline, but make it accurate. This one sounds like FNC wrote it (the headline, not the article cited.)

Agree wholeheartedly.
It's cheap and tabloid-esque.
