Abstract
"AIDS Awareness Is Love Awareness." It's a message Massachusetts health officials and AIDS educators hope will reach the state's Black male community, a group that is seeing its rate of HIV infection rise at alarming rates. The campaign is aimed exclusively at Black men, and health officials say it comes none too soon. Black men make up only 2.2% of the state's population, yet comprise 19% of all male cases of AIDS in Massachusetts according to the state's Department of Public Health (DPH). More than 1700 Black males in Massachusetts have been diagnosed with AIDS. Nationwide, AIDS is the leading cause of death among Black males aged 25-44. As the director of an AIDS prevention clinic, Lawrence Robinson knows how difficult it is to teach young people, especially young Black males, about the dangers of unprotected sex. Once Robinson was preaching his message to a teenager on the streets of Boston. "What he said to me was, 'What do I have to look forward to? I'm having sex, I like it, and I'm not going to let anybody take that away from me,'" Robinson said.
