Study: Denial Infects the Mississippi Delta — Black Women’s Attitudes Toward Safe-Sex Practices Deadly
April 17, 2007
A survey of attitudes toward HIV/AIDS among African-American women in the Mississippi Delta found troubling levels of denial and ignorance about the disease:
Nearly 85 percent of the 300 women surveyed said they would not ask their male partners if they ever had sex with men.
71.6 percent of those surveyed, ages 15 to 50-plus, engaged in casual sex without using condoms; 76.7 percent used drugs or alcohol before intercourse.
Older women, those ages 30-34 and 40-44, scored higher on an AIDS awareness test than subjects ages 15-29.
Those with greater knowledge and awareness of HIV/AIDS were about as likely to engage in high-risk sex as women who were less knowledgeable.
More than 50 percent said that anyone with AIDS deserves it, especially if he or she is homosexual, bisexual or a prostitute.
87.6 percent said HIV-positive teachers and childcare
