that everybody should go to that museum because it's not just about the death. six million people. it's about a government of intelligent people deciding to get rid of a population. they thought was a country famine and. to see adolf hitler use the term tear in that in german animal people said. as he spoke about the soo much interviewer through which. sold people who think conspiracy theories conspiracy of that set up a conspiracy is when one segment makes a play and against the interests of another segment and the other segment doesn't know anything about it. and when it comes to matters of mental health and therapy had this not guy. was

my. past. to. talk about. the time it's. this. is going to get us back to fix it was. the trouble. was just. not been done. and i think until you know even in our medical school curriculum you know. when to we talk about hiv you know portent it is clinical into the next generation. is not just ignorance and stigma associated with a disease ridden lack of compassion to kill my.

by nineteen ninety five h.i.v. infections among black americans had surpassed white america. blacks accounted for forty percent of all newly infected h.i.v. cases. the most startling discovery was to learn that african-american women accounted for a greater proportion of new aids cases among african-americans overall in two thousand and three. it rose to become the number one cause of death for black women ages twenty five to thirty four and persis this day. after ten years from now. my husband and three year old daughter and maybe age of twenty nine discovered to have. my third child was born very sick.

we didn't know what was wrong with her no one was able to tell us what was wrong she was in and out of doll spittle and by the time she was about two my husband began to get sick my husband wasn't feeling well he had a cough we kept going to different doctors theon i kept misdiagnosing him first they said he had allergies they gave him allergy shots then they said he had tb they tested him he's fine it doesn't have to be after about a full year of trying to figure out what was wrong and they then said ok your blood count is really no he went into the emergency room and they said well you probably have a bleeding ulcer so let's admit you to the hospital and let's check you for you know where that all serene is and we can take care of it they kept misdiagnosing him because he was a family man he was married we owned a home we had children in private school so we didn't fit that

stereotype of what people with aids or a trophy look like people have histories people have done things in their lives my husband did do. but he had been clean for over ten areas so they didn't see any marks they didn't see anything that they thought was suspicious i guess that's the assumption and seldom ever asked him so what happened is that people's perception of who got a scot in the way. so by the time they figured it all out he did not have a bleeding ulcer and they then said ok we need to ask you some other questions you know have you ever done drugs and those type of questions and then he said yes several years ago when i was in the service. and they tested him and he came back with full blown aids. fell even while my husband

was sick and dying in a huff but all the you know i made up i did like many of us that you know i made up stories of what he had i did when telling the truth. because of discrimination because of fear because of and i don't want to people to be afraid of me he die on january first new year's day of course it all made sense then what was wrong with the baby and then she died. on in june of that year. i tested myself and my two other children thank god they were healthy and they did not have to virus but i did when i was diagnosed i was very sick i was eighty

pounds i had no t. self and i was extremely ill so i was diagnosed with aids diagnosis not an h.p.v. diagnosis i was given less than two years to live in the course of six brief months lost her husband of ten years first three year old baby girl and was herself diagnosed with aids. when she reached out to her family i'm blessed that i have a family that i do we don't talk about it but i've never felt like they were afraid to be around me for many of those newly infected with hiv and aids silent except in spite family and friends is often not enough after everything happened i went to one support group. then it was all guys they were nice men. and i was the only woman the problem with that was many of those guys were talking about things like

how do i tell my parents or my family that i am homosexual and now they were those were dear conversations and their fears and discussions of course when i brought up i am in a panic i just lost my husband my baby i have an eight in a four year old i'm going to die soon what do i do it my kids i have to stop working i'm now on disability i went from two incomes to a fixed income a disability check i'm trying to figure it all out so of course i think i'm going to die because that's what i was told and for women for mothers are our focus now becomes not even about herself. it's about our children what's going to happen to our children my children are going to be orphans i can't even stand to be in the house with them and watch them playing because i was so heartbroken that i'm going to be leaving and i could identify with the guys in the group so i figure

i need to talk to some women and see if my the only one that's still are with this or or or what recognizing that her doctor was seeing other female patients. came up with an idea i asked my doctor if i could put a flyer in a home in her office. some of the women so long the whole a flyer in her office i put a secret phone line in my home because lots of family and friends didn't know i was dealing with this issue and hold the phone started ringing and i started we started talking to each other just on the phone none of us wanted to show our faces and as we became more comfortable i would meet them in a coffee shop and we started giving each other support that way and then started to support in my home where women will come together bring their children and. talk cry prepared for death and all of those things they were doing pretty much

a. women's group revealed. concerns. from a support group who quickly realize that services for women were non-existent if moms need to get to the doctor she was given a token to get on the bus to the doctor. she was given enough tokens to take the children to the doctor with her so basically she had no childcare she had no transportation so she couldn't go to the doctors she ended up not seeing a doctor so we became a network of women and we shared our our very limited resources we shared our trends. try to point men's. children. care system.

driving children to different schools they see in maryland including. at a foster care system. that's reluctant handful of shy women. group brave soul. able to accommodate the growing number of each ib paused of women in her home. ground. and started the women's collective in washington d.c. . women are caregivers we are taking care of not only our children. parents who say we have. our own health and. to take care of everybody we do and i think we need to set up a system that is. helpful to women and support women

around the support system. to help them to be able to take care of themselves. to better understand why h.i.v.

and thieves are still so persistent in the black community we checked in with. gay and straight after all it is they who will determine the face of the disease in the years to come. to the consensus to. choose the opinions that invigorating to. choose the stories that in life choose access to.

i think education is definitely one of the more important pieces to it because people are getting the wrong information and they're spreading this wrong information out there we learned about the technical aspect how do you catch it

what it is what it stands for why not like percentages and things like that and who are mainly affected my. yeah just like general education knowing that stuff like when i took such that in school you never really learned about each ideally we just learned late about puberty and about a oh how to put a condom on but they don't really teach you stuff like hiv prevention and who falls into that category of who has it we're minimum incensing we're going to show you are great men having sex they don't shoot at all these are you know it's very important to know about going to times about man and woman having sex and the risk of what happens but never a female on a female on male male be to broaden that a little bit larger so we know you know we need we need to be straight you need to be gay but we need to know information isn't there and i think it's also important that parents talk more with their children about it we don't talk a lot about that with us kids even today it's still kind of hard to broach that

subject with the young people but it is so important. my mother was famous for this and you do it in the back you will get a little too easy to get all the time to the new mother i'm a burden turned to look around you know you that you doing the right you're going to get. mugged i'm pretty sure that's not cancer that's how you catch it ok and so she found out how to really get it she was like a lot that was a game as disease i thought they were given to us and i thought that's how you get it just from doing that i do have a big increase my nose and i get it but i find it funny how when parents and automatically assume that your child is going to be shared i mean and they kind of force me to it that is why a lot of conversation. about hiv and aids don't really it doesn't really happen in the household because you're taught. you're kind of taught by your parents to be sri and you know to talk about anything that involves your sex life because you're

not street is conneally you know taboo to bring into your house it's very good i'm not going to talk about you know things that i can get you know by having sex because my mum doesn't want to hear about me having sex with another guy and for me is it's not even about just having sex with the same sex or opposite sex it's not having sex at all so it doesn't get beyond issues don't have sex and i'm not even windsor you get married type stuff just on sex and you know procreation when if i'm thinking about it you know i'm interested and all i can talk with my parents about it i don't feel like i can talk to them about that because they already say what they expected as soon as six so i'm like ok if i do have sex what will happen i can get pregnant well what about this on my kids. i don't know what they are i'm young i don't know an week slowmo h.i.v. we don't need to get to that because it's a don't have set i think we need more open dialogue about it people are still very very nervous about talking about their sexual health and their sexual behavior

talking about sex and it's pretty normal in my group of friends but when the concept like a child being like education step s.t.'s on it. that's not their home when it's really awkward but we do talk about it it's not like it's not existed but usually when i hear other people talking about issues in life all some i guess unattractive or ugly will pass on their person not their sauce or. all this stuff so it's usually in a negative not inspiring or educational light but with my personal friends my close friends is usually like look we be educating people or we just talk about trying to figure out well what we know or was truest man supposed to say i'm a child be on my case in all the blame on the press all of the blame will myself and both of those are really unhealthy and can like f. up and i say a. good deal where if people manage to stop. with the abundance of information now available about hiv. number noses

up the statistics they believe that as with vitamins all they have to do is pop a pill if they should become hiv positive. community like we do desensitize ourselves so much from aids i mean people as i always a mental disease if you can manage it you've got to have deep pockets that manage it i mean if you don't have insurance because i don't think the average person can pay fifteen thousand nine hundred dollars in rent and still pay two hundred dollars a month for medication and for those for whom money is not a concern there is a physical cost to taking drugs to fight hiv take four pills of clean i take one pill i take a batch around pill because the key perfections and stuff away and then i take superior model rocketry which is helps with the pain in the morning. and so i take that as this clock in the morning i wake up so early and take medication because.

having two hours to recover from second the medication and i go to bed i have my pill container and i'm out of water so the mornings when i wake up i just open the bottle take the pills drink the water may back down let the side effects go through this. stomach pain tiredness everything that go through just let it all go through enough hours i'm good. data is that even well treated even with the best drugs someone with age is going to live a shorter life than someone doesn't have a type i have a lot of friends on these drugs at this point both africa and here and you know if they could go back and change that and live a life free of a trivium i know for sure for certain that they would. with thirteen percent of the population yet we have the highest rate of infection again it goes into not a single answer. if i look at how blood pressure what we'd be if i looked at colon

cancer where will we be if i look at breast cancer where will we be if i look at. it to one it is clear that the tremendous growth of hiv and aids in america's black community is driven by many factors yet no matter whom we spoke to physicians clergy political leaders and those afflicted with the virus it was clear that the real culprits behind the epidemic are ignorance miscommunication and most importantly a collective silence about how it is transmitted what it means to live with hiv and its phenomenal spread across black america. if we sincerely want to help the spread of this virus this is a problem that frankly is substantially preventable if there were really good public health campaigns if people were really focused on this problem you certainly

should be able to have a lot less a trophy a lot less human suffering and you would and that would mean a lot less energy and resources both better societal level but also personally trying to deal with it down the why would someone thirty seconds i was in london in the mid one nine hundred eighty was saying you couldn't turn on the television without seeing the commercial about age having a child be a child be you know can protect yourself be attested etc you know day after day after day after day after day after day after day. that's public health education in my view that we have not hand at a level of intensity and public health education. where we still don't have a bill we are still talking about any increase in the number of cases and we need to talk more to people who other people trust in the communities like for example the hair salon the barber shops we go there all the time we have conversations in

there about everything you know so you know getting the right information it's in places like that places of worship getting the correct information that's a beer can can really help kind of hope this disease if they do think that. more conversation is better you don't necessarily need leadership from the church to push you really need is leadership from somebody right so well that happen to have been the case and he came to that was the word that can verify it was quite right larry kramer was a real leader in this conversation and in zimbabwe and in uganda in congo there were singers who are leaders in his conversations and in other places or political leaders who didn't maybe could be almost anybody can write maybe somebody has to stand up and take this on it doesn't matter who it is as long as i personally care as an as her system. kelly and i think what's going to eventually happen as far as in our community is that we need to start letting young people and even young people just people in general understand the power of their voice because

eventually was going to happen is that. the new media is going to be the cell phone ok because as they see things put the video because now cell phones you could upload photos directly to youtube all these different things is that now they have the power to tell the story. as more people living with hiv step forward to tell their stories we will no longer be able to ignore them and pretend we are safe the conversation must be taken to the schools inside the homes and throughout the community to eradicate the myths and fears that feed this preventable disease. today african-americans account for fifty percent of all new h i v infections every year unless we start talking to each other we will become dependent on drugs to live. with succeeding generations.

start the conversation. in the elevated to the school don't see. this synopsis of the. city. but the scene. dad you see this is the scene. just like the thirteen colonies. this. is a child still susah blasts don't seem to sense the united states station crisis fifty percent most patients just towel show.

where you live and me. why would she. did h.i.v. that you didn't need to since before the most pressing people keenest underground labs didn't need the radios would you fall for. one of the african. conflicts with my knowledge she's done nothing but salad she dislikes knowledge and if so with no fisa how to travel across borders probably you know how to look for water use if you want. to sit you never see no plane to can identify with the light these business. disease kills in the video being given the right to kill this disease and it's significantly prevented from being ignorant confused when beveling bulis may

be different but we suffer the same schwalbe see you are is the name of the gays most don't see. cut.
