Black People Speak challenges studies on AIDS and the Black community by questioning 166 Black people throughout the country for their responses on the AIDS epidemic in Black America and Africa.

The results will reveal what Blacks believe about AIDS, their concerns about AIDS, and what solutions should be put forth to deal with the AIDS problem. The following results are preliminary toward an extensive study on AIDS thus the results are not all conclusive.

When BPS asked the following question: Research says Black women in America are the largest growing sector of the population to contract AIDS/HIV. Do you believe this research?
56.00% said yes
24.00% said no
20.00% were not sure

When asked: Do you know a Black woman who is HIV positive or that has the AIDS virus?
72.00% said no
28.00% said yes

When asked: Do you believe that AIDS/HIV is man-made?
56.00% said yes, definitely
0.00% said that's ridiculous
44.00% said its possible

When asked: Do you believe HIV is being injected into Blacks in Africa and America purposefully or as an experiment?
32.00% said yes, definitely
28.00% said no, that's ridiculous
40.00% said its possible

When asked: Should the government launch an investigation into a possible conspiracy? Or should Blacks except the study as true and move on.
75.00% said Launch investigation
25.00% said Move on

When asked: Are you planning to be tested for HIV/AIDS in the near future?
40.00% said yes
60.00% said no

When asked: Do you know of any Black men with HIV/AIDS?
60.00% said yes
40.00% said no

Thus, according to the results, though Black Americans agree with mainstream "research [that] says Black women in America are the largest growing sector of the population to contract AIDS/HIV," they are reluctant to believe the mainstream reasons why there is such a rise, i.e. drug use, homosexuality, and lack of proper preventative health maintenance, but believe, overwhelmingly otherwise.

And though more Black Americans believe the mainstream research, less actually know a Black woman who has AIDS, which would question the accuracy of the mainstream research, yet bring into light the rates of Black men.

Furthermore, though Black America believes it is possible or certain that AIDS is man-made, they are less likely to believe it is purposefully being injected into Blacks and Africans or as a genocidal experiment.

Blacks believe the government should seriously investigate the rise in AIDS in Black Americans and Africans instead of taking it as lightly as they do, and to seek a possibility of genocide.

As far as preventative maintenance, more Blacks are reluctant to get HIV tested than are those who plan to.

The conclusion leads us to believe that AIDS in the Black community is more likely a fabricated crises yet considered a possible threat to Black life. In a war of the minds, Blacks must now seek protection from this evil disease through other higher powers than government.
