The article about the HIV conspiracy theory spreading around the Internet and in local newspapers is based on nothing but supposition. The researchers who did the study attempt to connect the conspiracy theory to the use, or ill use of condoms among the Black population.

First, they imply that the only reason Blacks believe it is a conspiracy is because of the Tuskegee Experiment, thus undermining our ability to see beyond the past and into the now.

"This distrust is thought to have its origins in historical and current racial discrimination in the US healthcare system, with the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, when African Americans were deliberately infected with syphilis and denied treatment to examine the natural history of the disease, being a particularly well-known example. "

This is an insult because even if some Blacks did attribute their beliefs based on the Tuskegee Experiment, that belief could never have any weight over what is going on now. How Blacks in Africa and America have suddenly contracted the HIV virus at alarming rates.

Next, they contradict their own theory by saying, "Although the importance of addressing conspiracy theories in HIV prevention initiatives has been acknowledged by researchers, there has been very little research examining whether an endorsement of conspiracy theories translates into negative attitudes towards condoms and lower condom use."

However, the headlines read, "HIV conspiracy theories associated with poorer condom attitude and use amongst African American men." In other words, they will admit that Blacks believe there is a conspiracy, but they are not sure it has anything to do with condom use, which is a contradiction all itself.

There is no evidence that Blacks do not use condoms because they are afraid the white man has infected condoms with HIV, the researchers only assume this, try hard to make the connection, because this is what they want the rest of the world to believe, as well as gullible Blacks.

That way if Blacks believe other Blacks are not using condoms because there may be a possibility that condoms are infected, neither will those Blacks use condoms, because of the conspiracy. This means that without use of the condom, the virus could spread more around the Black population, which is what they really want.

Then they go on to admit it again; "the investigators note that the effects of HIV conspiracy beliefs between the models including and excluding condom attitudes was not large." This is completely unreliable and cannot logically be drawn as an absolute conclusion, but they will make it fact and magnify it in the press and word it otherwise to play on the Black mind, and others.'

They go on to suggest, "HIV prevention initiatives should address conspiracy beliefs… as well as to collaboratively work to address current discrimination within the health care system." Now they are ready to own up to their discrimination practices but they do not know how. It is like admitting to your victim that you intended to harm them after you have beaten them senseless. One will tend to look in every direction for an excuse or cause but will never look them directly in the eye.

The article concludes, "In this way, we can begin to overcome barriers, such as conspiracy beliefs, that are obstacles to the ready acceptance of prevention messages and the subsequent practice of safer sexual behaviors." There would be no reason for Blacks to fear had not the virus been spread throughout the Black community in the first place, or if there were adequate health care for low-income people.

The study is full of crap and is an extension of the same game pulled in Africa, and look at how many Africans have HIV. They too, were afraid of the health care system that was pumping the nation with a so-called prevention vaccine.

Now if the object is to get Blacks to refuse treatment so the virus can spread, they may succeed because they are feeding the conspiracy themselves, and because indoctrinated Blacks who read the study will also believe the study. However, if it is true that there is a conspiracy theory, then what does that leave us (Blacks) to think of white America?

Afromerica promotes abstinence and monogamous relationships. Leave the white man to his own immoralities.
