Right...because it's just a gay disease. The facts are that black women are the fastest group of people contracting the disease. In pure numbers, heterosexuals amount for more people than homosexuals that have HIV.

But more importantly, IntentionsRGood is a troll so beware of his intents with his posts. Many have reported him already. I suggest doing the same.

There you go twisting the facts again. Black women are #4 behind white MSM; black MSM, and Hispanic MSM in new HIV cases.

Your ignorance and misinformation are astounding. Homosexuals account for just 2% of the population, yet homosexuals account for 75% of HIV cases in the U.S.

GlaxoSmithKline GSK is making so much money off of this it's crazy. Then you have companies like Gilead Sciences GLID bringing in super billions. Money definitely is the root of all things. Wow. I really need to call my broker and my KO shares ASAP.

Doesnt testing cost a lot of money? I there special times when charities do it for Free. What about the people who have to pay out of pocket? Most black people cant afford higher prices. Where is the number 1 place in Atlanta to get tested? Please dont say Grady.

Anyone can get a free HIV test at the MISTER Center at 1117 West Peachtree St NW. There is no charge for anyone. They also offer screening for other STDs for a fair price and they provide assistance for those who might have trouble paying. They also provide support services for people recently diagnosed with HIV.

I get tested here, personally, and the staff is very professional and supportive. The test they provide at no cost is the highest-quality test available, the HIV RNA test, which can detect HIV as soon as 9-12 days after exposure, instead of a standard antibody test which can take up to 3 months after exposure to accurately detect that a person is infected.

MISTER Center of Positive Impact - Atlanta
AID Atlanta also does free testing as well as the Cobb/Douglas health center. I'm sure most state regional health clinic offer free testing.
