I still am floored when i hear the stats regarding HIV/AIDS and the African American community. I can't believe that people are still having unprotected sex in this day and age. A lot of folks say its because of the switch-hitters (Bisexual men in the closet)..but who knows...it all boils down to the brothas not wrapping it up and the women allowing it.
