what's UP with her urging black women to get tested?? How about she encourage anyone in a high risk situation to get tested? Ya know if white people came out in a public format doing the same thing for-gawd forbid-only white people, the **** would hit the fan.

I've been out of the field of HIV care for about a year now, but last I had heard, black and Hispanic women were the two demographic groups that were experiencing the greatest increasing rates of HIV infection. I am sure that is why public advocacy groups are trying to find spokespeople for these demographics. But of course, as you said, these are not the only high-risk groups.
