I saw this when it aired last week and you are correct, it is quite powerful.

As far as suggestions, I don't really know. I once heard a physician on the radio suggest that ALL AfAm women, be they married or single, should use condoms. I don't know how practical that is. I just don't see myself telling my husband that I since I don't trust that he is not sleeping with other people (when in fact I do) that I want to start using condoms. However, I have a little more protection than most women/wives because since my husband is a commisioned officer in the Navy he gets a yearly AIDS/HIV test w/o question. So if ever comes home jobless....I WILL KNOW.

Now clearly that can't protect me from the time in between testings, but as I said I trust my husband so him cheating with anyone, at this point in our marriage, is not a large concern for me.

On the whole, I think we need to stop looking to the church for guidance on this issue and start AfAm focused public health organizations that focus on this issue. Condoms need to be made ABUNDANT, but other than that I can't say I have an intelligent contribution.
