The western perspective of AIDS you speak of above is predominately a white, privileged perspective. The virus and disease is destroying black communities in the United States just as it is destroying the black population in various countries in Africa. The battle to embark upon is the global war against the virus and disease itself. Collectively, Africans and African Americans need to unite and fight against the proliferation of this disease. I hope that in your effort to gather the perspective of African men and women suffering from the virus and disease, that there is the recognition that their horrible stories are but a snapshot of the impact of the virus and disease on the entire black diaspora, including AIDS in black America. Please see my blog, http://rrpmedia.blogspot.com for the title HIV/AIDS Pestilence Within Our Land. Thank you.
