Increased HIV Risk To Black Gay Men
Black gay men have less choice when it comes to sexual partners than other groups and, as a result, their sexual networks are closely knit. These tightly interconnected networks make the rapid spread of HIV more likely. In a study1) looking at social and sexual mixing between ethnic groups in men who have sex with men, H. Fisher Raymond and Willi McFarland, from the San Francisco Department of Public Health in the US, show that social barriers faced by Black gay men may have a serious impact on their health and well-being. Their findings are published in Springer"s journal AIDS and Behavior.

Suspect In Murder Of Abortion Provider Tiller Sends Antiabortion Mailings From Jail
From his jail cell, Scott Roeder, the man charged in the murder of abortion provider George Tiller, has been sending inflammatory pamphlets calling such killings justifiable and corresponding with radical antiabortion-rights groups, the AP/Boston Globe reports. The pamphlets call Paul Hill, who was convicted of murdering abortion provider John Bayard Britton and his bodyguard in 1994, an "American hero" and quotes some of Hill"s writing about how murdering abortion providers is acceptable. Roeder obtained the pamphlets from the antiabortion-rights group Army of God. Roeder also has been corresponding with the Rev. Donald Spitz, founder of Army of God, and antiabortion-rights advocate Linda Wolfe, who has been jailed about 50 times for antiabortion activities and is a close friend of the woman convicted of shooting Tiller in the arms in 1993. The AP/Globe reports that the FBI and Department of Justice declined to comment on whether they are concerned about Roeder"s mailings. Last month, Roeder in an interview said that there are "many other similar events planned around the country as long as abortion remains legal." Roeder has not been accused of breaking any laws because of the correspondence (AP/Boston Globe, 7/4).

Oakland, Calif., Conference Targets Black Women For HIV/AIDS Awareness, Prevention

The Oakland, Calif., chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women on Saturday held a daylong conference, "Sistahs Getting Real About HIV/AIDS," that addressed HIV/AIDS among black women, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The conference "focused on two issues that might seem contradictory: first, to convince women that they must take special precautions to protect themselves, and second, to let them know that an HIV diagnosis is not a death sentence," according to the Chronicle. Keynote speaker of the conference Tony Wafford, director of health and wellness for the National Action Network, said black women need to be more vocal with their partners about practicing safe sex and getting tested for HIV. Organizers noted that black women also "must address the stigma associated with HIV before they can talk openly about the risk of infection with their partners," the article states (Allday, 7/25).
