There is a theory that because a lot of the male black population is behind bars, they contract the disease there and then bring it home to their wives/girlfriends (whether through drugs or sex I dont know). I have also read that quite a number of married black men are bisexual and unbeknownst to their wives are also having it off with men. I think awareness is being increased in the States now and people are being encouraged to get tested for the disease and know their status. I know its such an over used phrase but knowledge really is power and does save lives as far as HIV/AIDS is concerned.
