It's EXTREMELY hard to disclose Herpes so I can't imagine how hard it is to disclose HIV. Prayers to all infected or affected.
A⁰⁰
Most people don't ask because they don't care!
@@ladylovesherlord OR Just plain STUPID ⁉️
To avoid this people need to take their health seriously, do their tests and always wear condoms. We can’t trust NO

I became a widow 5 years ago and l don’t regret staying single after my husband death. It’s just not worth the risk because people are just dishonest.
Its important now days to go get tested with your partner before initimacy. Unfortunately, that doesnt stop people from cheating and contracting something during the relationship but it's a good place to start.
I always practiced this. Yes, I caught some of them. Thank goodness I didn't sleep with them. However, even if you are married this can happen.
Just got divorce final.a month ago. He has herpes. I took precautions. The marriage was failed on so many levels. This happened to be ONE of many. I am herpes free btw...
Now at 62. Celibate. Will not do relationships any longer. I consider myself lucky.
It’s frightening that people withhold this type of information from their prospective love interest. I would love to see a follow up.
It's frightening and illegal, especially if they knowingly withhold their positive status
Exactly. Like why did the acquaintance tell the lady after she was leaving a relationship with the dude?
@Geminicricketi its not the acquaintant business to tell
How did the acquaintance know his personal business and did her family member know this info beforehand?
@@Geminicricketi That was mean and wicked...because she knew it from the start..
My heart hurts for the boy who's mother passed it on to him. So glad he was "adopted" & has an amazing family! Praying for health, long life, a wife and children 🙏🙌
Thank-you for creating awareness 🙏 I am a 36 year long time survivor ❤️ I want to tell those who are living with this human condition that there is hope 🦋
I feel pretty sheltered. I didn't realize there is still so much ignorance regarding HIV/AIDS. My heart goes out to these folks and the world is better with you sharing your stories ❤
I hope all of these people are alive and happy in this year of 2024 May 6. Bless all of these people. ❤❤❤
Its sad that some people didnt care and infected others, you cannot take that back!
Not at all..DISGUSTING!!
I wish all these people so well.
This was filmed in 2014, and I hope everybody made it and is still with us today.
Thank you, Lisa Ling, for your incredible, important work!
They have FILMED PLENTY of these documentaries and Prison Lifestyle for years and provided educational awareness in the media.
@Melanated483 my point is that it's ten years old and I hope everyone who shared their stories here is alive and well
17:35 @@Melanated483
It’s because most of them are dealing with guys who see other guys undercover and they don’t know it. So it spreads.
Another reason to stay single
And celibate!
Yup been single for years! Married people are not saved!
33:40 BM are NOT going to EVER share these health status information with you all. They are ALREADY ANGRY about life and do NOT like BW. It takes bravery to share this. They won’t even tell basic truths, like being DL in the closet. 💯🎯🤷🏾♀️

You missed the point of U=U. Undetectable equals Untransmissable. A friend is mine is positive has been for years, her ex by gave it to her. She can’t transmit the disease. It’s no longer the death sentence it was thankfully.
I can only imagine the shame they feel. I respect the bravery
The young man born with H.I.V. touches me differently: He had "absolutely" no control concerning his H.I.V. status. May all these people stay resilient.👍🏾🕍🕌⛪️
I hope one day a cure is found. 🙏
I totally agree ❤❤
Stop sleeping with several different people is a good start.
I think they already have a cure but big pharma will not make money by allowing the cure so they make ppl manage the disease.
@@ariamason9324 I’ve seen stories of women getting it from their spouses. What’s your solution to that?
My cousin is a aids counselor and if caught early you can basically be cured. The count so low that it can't even be picked up on test anymore. Yes it's scarey but luckily no longer a death sentence.
Lisa Ling is a great interviewer!!
I will never be anyone. You cannot trust people. I am sorry for these people. Virtual hug.
I’m so glad Daphne has a strong support system in her family. Not everyone is as fortunate to have that without judgement and alienation that furthers your shame. I hope she’s doing well today.
This was interesting. Their stories are so sad but encouraging at the same time. So many people live with HIV and can lead a healthy life however, I don’t think this episode did a good job at tackling the entire silent epidemic. There was only one mention of “straight men” sleeping with men that don’t consider themselves gay. That is a huge reason a lot of straight black women have contacted HIV from DL men. That is a reality that seems to always be understated when it comes to this topic. It does a HUGE disservice to the entire black community to not speak about this very real reality!
I noticed that as well and believe it was intentionally left out but I’m with you. That is a HUGE factor in the black community that no one wants to discuss.
Of course it was intentionally left out! If that aspect was discussed and it’s reckless behavior it would be viewed as hate speech. While purposely leaving unknowing straight black women out in the cold smh!
I agree. It’s clear they are getting it from the men they are with. Those men s|eep with other men and not being honest about it. It’s just not safe out there. Smh
Some of this also came from IV drug use, as well as on the down low.
I was wondering if Sonny got it in prison.
Watching this episode really opens your eyes and heart to the number of people who are dealing with this disease. So many amazing people who feel isolated and alone. Thank you for sharing this online.
Amen
A wise woman told me once you are only a sick as your secrets one truer words have been spoken
Huh
@@ratedn4nia it's a phrase you often hear in 12 step programs. Don't know if I agree with that philosophy, but, I guess the truth will set you free.
I wish these episodes would've been released earlier. Many of the statistics presented are no longer relevant since they were filmed 8 to 10 yrs ago.
They were on cable tv
For the most part the statistics are similar- believe it is around 1 in 9 to 1 in 10 because the root causes are not being addressed locally or nationally.
Stats are about the same today. It actually spiked a little during COVID. Also,Latinos are another group facing the epidemic too.
@@nbbim2012Exactly!!! These stats have ALWAYS been around for decades. The issue is BW REFUSE to acknowledge the reality and want to CONTINUE TO DATE, PROCREATE within their communities. 💯🎯🤷🏾♀️
The stats are worse now.
In Africa prep is being given free, medications are given free no bureaucracy no complicated paperwork…what’s going on America
They already get enough handouts in America, can’t they pay for anything??
Ask the many Africans who moved to the US 😢
My heart goes out to all infected persons but much respect to the one's trying to make a difference in the community it can't be easy putting your life on display but I'm glad you're out here to help... God bless you all!
Excellent, episode. We need more brave people like this to dispel the stigma.
The adoptive parents did a disservice to their adoptive son. They might have been well intended; however, it was wrong to use him to educate the community. He should have been allowed to just be a kid.
Their son needed medical attention. They educated to try and reduce the bs he dealt with in school
This story is heartbreaking. God Bless all the affected people. So sad.
AMEN
Thank you Lisa 🎉 for your hard work 🙏
Wow I’m so happy that Tom is doing good. I met him back in palm coast years ago. We lost contact, I’m just so happy he’s doing great!
The church "shunned" her. Imagine that? Great journalism Lisa. We appreciate you.
I love love love Lisa Ling shows and specials. Her reporting is always so good
When i was a new nurse 16 years ago this was a death sentence. I am so so glad for the advancement in meds and i hope we keep getting better at giving these to those who need them and those who need them for prevention too!!
My heart goes out to every person featured. Sending love and light!
This truly touched my heart. To see people giving purpose to their lives.
We need to be very careful.
😮Envious “so-called Friends!!!”
Jealous is “wanting what one has.”
Envious is “hatred for what one has.”
READ THAT AGAIN! There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!😮
Both wasted emotions !
@Sharon-cm5dm What? Envy is hating the THING(S) someone has!?
Why are people getting into relationships with people and not getting tested before they take the relationship further.
It’s shame and easy to ignore and run away more education is needed
It's so So SO important to get tested with your partner, together!!
In this day and age you can't not bring it up, or take someone's word they can lie like no tommorow.
Go together to the clinic and make sure you see the Results.
Kimberly Is brave. 🙏🏿 for ppl living with this disease and its many complications.
God Bless our Brothers and sisters ❤️ Praying for Healing 😊and encouragement
My family member confided in me. I love him even more. I know it’s treatable.
Heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time! Thank you. I love your series.
Did Daphney sue that man?! Also I don't sleep with anyone before we are tested together and share our results. And I make sure that I am tested every year. Even so, that's no guarantee. 😢
Why can't people understand that sexual immorality can have deep/lifelong or generational consequences
🙄 I know of a person who has passed from the virus. She was a virgin when she married her husband. Faithful. He stepped out on her and gave her aids. NO ONE is safe.
@@louniece1650 True.. sexual immortality can harm the innocent. Sin is dangerous like a stray round.
Some people are just born with it passed down from the mother. It's a lot more manageable nowadays.
Just because it’s manageable doesn’t mean its any less shameful and heavily stigmatized.
Things have changed a lot now. If a woman is pregnant she can prevent it from passing to the child. There are meds now for it. I have a friend with two children n both r negative.
God bless the people in this video gor sharing they're truth because it will help others. 🙏🏾 🌹
From Brooklyn n.y Big ups to you all. And thanks for your stories 🙏🏽
This was a POWERFUL episode that will facilitate healing (in more ways than one) to the nations! Bless you!
Thank you for this much needed story. Sharing with my community in D.C.
Thanks for sharing you brave beautiful souls
Lisa… great moving subject… awareness and compation is what we need… love 💕 our humanity
Sad. I'm black and don't know any black person who has it. Or had it and died. I wonder.......
You do. You just don’t know.
They didn't tell you.
There are certain segments of the population where this runs rampant. There are certain populations, of blacks who are educated, put their health first and choose not to put themselves or others at risk. Then you have the idiots who put themselves & others at risk, blame & finger point, don't protect themselves.

You probably have come across a few.
Just watching this and seeing the first part. What I see ….. I want to at least thank Lisa and the ones who interviewed. Thank you all so much! I relate to addiction many ways s as me I feel for these guys! Alllll of them
Thanks so much.
Educate at school even hard truths to all students
Sending my love and prayers ❤❤❤
I don’t understand because this disease affects everyone
Is there a followup to this?
God bless you all!
Good luck ❤
Love you Lisa!
And thank the genius intellects that have put there minds together, to creating a cure, for this horrible infectious disease, and have fund a way to stop the spread, and r still at work to make the cure remove it for ever....
But it shouldn’t be just black people it’s a world problem
Leave it to America, everything effects and affects blacks more
Love Lisa ling🫶🏾
Jacorey seems like a good guy!
Update on Jacorey ? Hope this young man is doing well.
Ok, this is another reason kids are languishing in foster care. Prospective adoptive families may well need to ask probative questions about birth parents.
Sonny used to like to party and play back in the day, especially with sum one I knew that passed away
1 in 4 males in the American South in insane!!!
@8:20 Anyone remember JL King? He said alot of men were getting with eachother and going back home to their wives/girlfriends. Sad.
Promiscuity and irresponsible behavior contributes more than anything! It's sickening and sad.
This!
This is so sad
Lisa Ling ❤
For Sonny does dozen of people mean men & women during addiction?
Probably.
I got the same vibe lol
I think he meant people because he was sharing needles.
Daphne believe you are more than a disease and thank your god medicine is helping and you live now you are doing a beautiful thing I believe in you
Time for a cure.
Protect your temple, always. Don't allow loneliness to make life decisions for you!
Nothing is worth risking your health for. I thank God for keeping me save each day🎉❤
Men. SMH. I am so tired of this stuff. People are so awful to each other. How sad. People are just vicious to each other.
We women are the gatekeepers. Men only behave the way we allow them to, and/or raise them to do!
If we massively raised our standards and agreed to demand respect, commitment, protection and provision before allowing them around us, everybody would be better off!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
🙏🙏🙏
How long ago was this because 3 pills? I know people taking just one pill a day
10 years
The title of this is offensive
Personal responsibility is often minimized in these shows.
Yep.
Agree. The only person I feel for is the guy that got it from his mother. I mean I feel bad for all of them but a child didn’t ask to be here🙏🏾
@@dawnlee866and neither did the women who were in committed relationships. It’s easy to sit back and judge, but NONE of us are perfect.
I wonder why personal responsibility is never included in these type of shows. Personal situations big pharma, food giants, weapon makers etc. all get the blame. Parents, average Joe's, grown adults make personal choices to do a, b & c. Pathetic & risky.
It seems like personal responsibility was addressed and one woman got it from her husband.

Thanks sexual revolution!
Condoms ? No ? So poor they can’t afford them?
They rather buy dope or crap, than condoms.
That’s why they have abortions and get hiv.
This is why God said 'Don't do that!!!!! Lucky you have medication or else its judgement day
Some people have done nothing wrong and are born with it 😢
Lisa Ling looks like she's 80 years old
Anytime I see a headline with race in it I automatically give a thumbs down. Race, gender, blah blah blah. Shut up already. It’s getting so old.
I agree to the 10000% degree.
Exactly. Everyone has HIV/AIDS.
Face reality
Yours is the most asinine response I've ever seen. Race, like gender has to be discussed, because there are different genelogical issues based on ethicity that need to be addressed. Just because you're sensitive to race and ethnicity doesn't mean there aren't valid and relevant issues where they need to be invoked.
@@afraidnomore2121 🤣😂🤡🤡🫵🫵🫵🫵 you keep worrying about race and staying broke and the smart people of the world like me will worry about getting wealthy and cashing these checks. Don’t worry though we will always need someone to make our food. I wish I could tell you some things to open your eyes but unfortunately you’re already a lost cause. But keep believing race and gender should be at the forefront of our problems 🤣😂🤣😂
Why not just say, "America's silent epidemic": Is it necessary to perpetuate the racial divide. You can still cover the same topic without the racial divide.. It is not that complicated! Let us work toward unity. Words have power! 👍🏾🕍🕌⛪️
Perhaps the fact that black people are infected at a rate 8x that of other groups is important. Perhaps knowing this fact will help the community. This episode, in this way, brings enlightment and the opportunity for change.
@@Robin-mj6jv😂 for a population less than 13%..by your math, shouldn’t they all be gone? 😂
Why watch it? Just stfu
Right...I know of 4 white women who have it...one was older when she contracted it and is what I'd consider wealthy...and the other 3 contracted it in early 20s from iv drug use and also live in poverty.
@@mobutter2879 it's Lisa Ling's math.
