Shaping the New Response reached its conclusions after two years of research including more than 300 interviews, 8 roundtables covering all 7 states, analysis of epidemiological data, and a review of relevant studies.

There are 2,052,227 Latinos in these seven states (as of 2007) which is an increase of 431% since the 1990 census. Latinos array from a high of 7.5% of the population in Georgia to 1.8% for Mississippi. But in rates of HIV and AIDS diagnosis Latinos present a startling portrait. While Latinos have far lower rates of HIV and AIDS diagnoses than that among Blacks in the region, Latinos have much privileged rates than that among Whites in the Deep South. In 2006 Latinos were 2 to 3 times more likely to be living with HIV/AIDS and 3 to 10 times more likely to be diagnosed with AIDS than Whites in the Deep South.

“Many public health professionals in the region are asking Latinos are presenting with such high levels of HIV/AIDS. The answers from the Commission’s research are relatively simple – a lack of culturally and linguistically competent prevention and health care resources, distrust and lack of access to prevention and care providers given the anti-immigrant social and legal restrictions imposed by most States in the region, a well organized commercial sex industry, and a complete lack of programs for Spanish speaking men who have sex with men,” said Tim Frasca, primary author of Shaping the New Response.

“There are many professionals in health care institutions, convergence based organizations and State/County health departments that know the difference between a public health crisis and the politics of the immigration debate. These local heroes are attempting to reverse these health outcomes while responding to an overwhelming health crisis among regional Black populations and there are elected officials who pretend that the problem does not exist. Most of the public health professionals we spoke to understood that the Latino HIV/AIDS epidemic can have extensive repercussions for each State and they have splendid thoughts on how to stop it”, said Guillermo Chacon, Vice-Head of the Latino Commission on AIDS.

“If we are to attack this health crisis like any other health emergency, public health needs the freedom and resources to do its job. We need a local infrastructure that will advocate and provide for augmented services for Latinos at risk for and with this disease. Much basic research needs to be done on creative models for prevention and care for this very mobile population. No one should mislead themselves into thinking that the variables that are producing this HIV/AIDS emergency are not also affecting other areas of critical health care for Latinos,” said Miriam Vega, PhD, Director of Research and Evaluation for the Commission.

The report contains a synthesis of recommendations from roundtables held in each state on Latinos and HIV/AIDS and additional recommendations from the Latino Commission on AIDS.

Printed copies of Shaping the New Response: HIV/AIDS and Latinos in the Deep South with illustrations can also be ordered at this website.

*There are many definitions of the Deep South and the Southeastern United States used by different groups. These states were selected for study as the “Deep South” by the Ford Foundation which funded this study.

This stunning censored interview conducted by medical historian Edward Shorter for WGBH public television (Boston) and Blackwell Knowledge was cut from The Health Century due to its huge liability–the admission that Merck drug company vaccines have traditionally been injecting cancer viruses (SV40 and others) in people worldwide. This segment of In Lies We Trust: The CIA, Hollywood & Bioterrorism, bent and freely contributed by consumer protector and public health expert, Dr. Leonard Horowitz, features the world’s leading vaccine expert, Dr. Maurice Hilleman, who clarifies why Merck’s vaccines have spread AIDS, leukemia, and other horrific plagues worldwide. Delight forward this clip (link) to everyone you know who thinks vaccines are “safe and effective.”

The statistics on HIV and AIDS in America clearly show that ethnic minorities account for a disproportionate number of cases in most states. African Americans are particularly severely affected by the virus, and relatively high rates of HIV can be found in virtually every sector of the black convergence.

The newest Centers for Disease Control report on the US epidemic shows that in 2007, the vast majority of people diagnosed with AIDS were black men.

Here are some problems:

Huckabee is really out of it on this one – he still refuses to admit that HIV is not an airborne virus and still thinks that only “sinful” people have it.

Hillary, on the other hand wants to throw alot of money at the cause but her focus is not on the USA alone – she wants to help Africa too.
It’s a nice thought, but Americans want her to be concerned with THEM in this election – not Africa.

So who else should we be looking at on this issue?
