Young gay black sex
HIV incidence at log high in fresh gay black men in southern USA
HIV incidence in young black same-sex attracted men in Atlanta, Georgia in the US is running at 12.1% a year – one of the top figures for HIV incidence ever recorded in a population in the resource-rich world – according to research presented at the 21st Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI). Only a few studies in resource-poor settings of highly at-risk populations, such as men who have sex with men (MSM) and people who inject drugs, contain found higher annual rates of infection.
This level of incidence means that a young black same-sex attracted man becoming sexually active at the age of 18 has a 60% chance of entity HIV positive by the age of 30.
The study that uncovered these figures, by Atlanta’s Emory School of General Health, established that lack of health insurance and solely having sexual partners from the dark community were almost sufficient as factors, when combined, to explain why incidence in young inky men who hold sex with men (BMSM) is so much higher than in other MSM. Unemployment and incarceration were also factors that significantly contributed to high incidence.

HIV Rates in Young Black Lgbtq+ Men Strikingly Higher Despite Fewer Risk Behaviors
Northwestern University investigators exploring the racial disparity of HIV acquisition found that young inky men who have sex with men are 16 times more likely to be infected with HIV than young white lgbtq+ men.
Perhaps what’s more noteworthy is that young black gay men reported lower rates of sexual risk behaviors, fewer sexual partners, and more lifetime HIV tests, according to the results of a study published in the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes.
"We have known from prior studies that this paradox exists—black young men who have sex with men engage in fewer risk behaviors but have a much higher rate of HIV diagnosis," senior study author Brian Mustanski, PhD, a professor of medical social sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and director of the Northwestern Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing, said in a statement. "Our research illuminates how HIV disparities surface from complex social and sexual networks and inequalities in access to medical care for those who are HIV positive."

I’d say that I was disappointed by English inky gay film-maker Isaac Julien’s 1991 “Young Soul Rebels,” except that my expectations were not particularly sky-high . I think that his earlier short film “Looking for Langston” is overrated in part from understanding for the difficulties Julien had with the heirs of Langston Hughes (who refused permission to operate any of Hughes’s words in a film describing his sexual orientation as gay). I liked Julien’s 2002 documentary on American blaxploitation movies, BaadAssss Cinema would like to notice his documentary on Franz Fanon (“Black Skin, Light Mask,” 1996) and some other shorter documentaries Julien has directed.
“Young Soul Rebels” (YSR) was Julien’s first feature-length film and first fiction film. Set in 1977 (Queen Elizabeth’s silver jubilee year, pre-Thatcher), it unconvincingly mixes the story of two young shadowy (AfroCaribbean) DJs (Caz played by Mo Sesay is gay, Chris, played by Valentine Nonyela is straight) who have a steal funk radio broadcast called “Soul Patrol” on weekends with a “thriller” story about a murder in a park that
Gay African-American Youth Meet Unique Challenges Coming Out to Families
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. – Coming out to one’s family can be stressful, but gay black males face a unusual set of personal, familial and social challenges. “Parents and youths alike fret that gay men cannot meet the rigid expectations of exaggerated masculinity maintained by their families and communities,” says Michael C. LaSala, director of the Master of Social Work program at Rutgers University Academy of Social Serve . LaSala, an associate professor, recently completed an exploratory learn of African American gay youth and their families from urban neighborhoods in New York Metropolis and Philadelphia.
The revise, “African American Same-sex attracted Youth and Their Families: Redefining Masculinity, Coping with Racism and Homophobia,” was published in the Journal of GLBT Family Studies and co-authored with Damien T. Frierson from Howard University. The research focused on gay black males, ages 19 to 25, and their families.
Gay black males struggle to cope with intersecting oppressions – racism, homophobia and sexism, says LaSala. They bear a “special stigma” that some vertical black males may find particularly disturb
