African Americans make up 13% of U.S. population but 1/2 of the new case numbers of H.I.V/ AIDS diagnosis in the U.S in 2004 were from African Americans.

Aids has become the leading cause of death for all African Americans in 2002. H.I.V/ AIDS was the second cause leading cause of death for all African Americans aged 25-34.

Of the almost 100 million cases of AIDS dependencies, possesions and associated nations, 40% were in African Americans of more than 1/2 a million people with Aids who have died, 38% were African Americans

It is safe to say that H.I.V/ Aids is a epidemic among African Americans. African Americans do not live as long as other racial or ethnic backgrounds who have Aids.

In 2004 , more African Americans children (under the age of 13) were living with Aids than were children of all other races and ethnicities living with Aids combined.

A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man will have to seek Him first to find it.

Among women 68% of the new cases were of African Americans. People infected with H.I.V may have no symptoms for 10 or more years. There are medications but no cure for the disease.

Most common ways of getting H.I.V

1) Having unproteceted sex with a man who has H.I.V.

2) Sharing injection drug works with someone who has H.I.V 

Ways to prevent H.I.V

1)Abstain from sex

Although H.I.V affects every race for African American Women and children, Aids have become an epidimic in our community.

 As women we must be aware of taking better care of ourselves from the inside out. Don't just assume that a man is not carrying the disease by the way he looks, remember their are no sure signs for 10 or more years. I would love to think that all Godly women refrain from sex before marriage but that is not realistic to say.

 I pray that each woman would wait on their husband and refrain from sex until marriage. Aman of God will abide by the word of God by saying no to sex before marriage.
