Ok, I think I am doing this correctly. The link is about a "phenomenon" in our community sorors and I must say it is appalling and VERY scary. I am sure that you have all heard about the surge in numbers of HIV/AIDS among Black women in recent years. Well, it has been revealed more and more that there is a thing called the "down low" which means Black men are having sex with other men and taking the contracted disease home to wifey, all while not admitting to or even considering themselves gay. The episode of Law & Order last night (4/6/04) was about it and my mom and I cried at the end. Did anyone else see it?
What do you all think about this? Do any of you know someone in the situation, either a man on the "down low" or a woman who has been affected? What can we do about it?
As always, if this has been discussed and my searching skills have failed, please merge and/or tell me.
