We're going to do now is how to speak out around the issues of learning and living in a society
with HIV and AIDS. This is going to be an open mic. What we are waiting for is information
about women's sexual behavior with other women. They fail to ask women. They question about
sexual history and sexual behavior. They fail to categorize women. They fail to adequately
educate and provide services for lesbian women who have sex with other women as well as HIV.
They fail! They fail! They fail! They failed! They fail! They fail! They failed! They fail! They fail!
Why are lesbians invisible in the age crisis? If lesbians aren't recognized, lesbians with age don't get counted.
Researches and epidemiologies assume that all women with HIV and AIDS are heterosexual.
The CDC's definition of lesbians is exclusive to many self-identified lesbians because they define a lesbian as a woman who has not had sex with a man since 1977.
This opens up the fact that a recent in-depth study shows that 46% of self-identified lesbians had seen a vaginal intercourse for men since 1980.
Now, with fewer than 6% reporting common news every night, that is unconscionable that they can be allowed no more.
The CDC categorizes lesbians before it's too late, which does not allow for overlapping risk factors. For instance, a lesbian who uses injection drugs categorize solely as an injection drug user, and it's known to be heterosexual.
The standards are completely invisible, even though current data shows that female injection drug users who have sex with women are at increased risk for HIV.
It is not who you are, but what you do that puts you at risk for HIV. If lesbians with age can't get the services they need, why not?
If lesbians aren't counted, lesbians don't get services. Lesbians at risk for HIV is, in her treatment program, prison and women's health care clinic, we see it as with counseling and treatment because of indifference and hostility for our sexual orientation.
Health providers, ignorance and arrogance for lesbians and other women who have sex with women mean that our real life, what we absolutely do, our real life creatives are ignored and criticated about neighborhood sex and safer drug practices.
This hostility and ignorance is killing lesbians with age.
