December 1 Marked World AIDS Day, How does this National STD Awareness Day effect you and your partner?
World AIDS Day was last week, and worldwide there were many different locations marking this important day. Red Ribbons and the words "Fight AIDS" were seen all over the world. So what does this have to do with you and an all black dating site like black-friend-finder.com ?
Well a lot actually, Yes, we promote "Black Love" on B.F.F. The world is a lot better place with it, But Dig - In 2009 Responsibility is "In".
This is particularly important to an ebony dating site, and a fellow webmaster recently brought this to my attention.
From Wiki-
AIDS is now a pandemic. In 2007, it was estimated that 33.2 million people lived with the disease worldwide, and that AIDS killed an estimated 2.1 million people, including 330,000 children. Over three-quarters of these deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa, retarding economic growth and destroying human capital and lives.
According to the Center for Disease Control 2007 statistics, blacks accounted for 51 percent of the 42,655 new HIV/AIDS diagnoses;
On Friday, October 30, President Barack Obama signed the Ryan White HIV/AIDS CARE Act and stated, "there are still 1.1 million people living with HIV/AIDS in the United States and more than 56,000 new infections that occur every single year." While you probably are not of the 56,000 that currently have HIV/AIDS, fatal STDs such as this one can infect you or anyone around you at any point and time. This is why safe sex is so important in your sexual relationships.
And no safe sex is 100 percent. Even in a committed relationship, married people are also a growing number to find out that they have HIV/AIDS from a cheating partner. Even the Obamas got tested for HIV/AIDS to prove that it's okay to do so, which I thought was great - lead by example.
If you're interested in being tested, here are some commonly asked questions plus answers about HIV/AIDS testing.
Q- What if I don't have insurance? How much is it to have HIV/AIDS testing?
There are countless locations that have free HIV/AIDS testing.
Some HIV/AIDS testing centers will have a waiting period of 10 to 15 days while others, give you results within 10 to 15 minutes.
Other info about places To get tested -

Q- How does HIV/AIDS effect black women and black dating in general?
According to the Center for Disease Control 2007 statistics, blacks account for 51 percent of the 42,655 new HIV/AIDS diagnoses; the most common method for black women to get HIV/AIDS was from heterosexual sex and 67 percent of African-Americans were unaware they were HIV positive. So if 67 percent of African-American, HIV/positive men don't know they have HIV/AIDS and a black woman has unprotected sex with him, she has a higher risk of getting the disease.
Q- Why do I need to get tested for HIV/AIDS if I'm in a committed relationship?
According to InfidelityFacts.com, 57 percent of men and 54 percent of women admit to infidelity in a relationship, and 74 percent of men and 68 percent of women said they would commit infidelity if they wouldn't get caught. Although statistics for marriages with HIV/AIDS are more readily available in African countries, the United States cannot be excluded. One prime and public examples is former basketball player Magic Johnson who is HIV positive and married to Cookie Johnson. In August 2009, the Illinois Department of Public Health reported that although there were 7,062 new cases of HIV/AIDS from men who have sex with men, 1,111 men got HIV/AIDS from injection drug use and 511 were heterosexual. IDPH also reported that 708 women got HIV/AIDS from injection drug use and 1,514 from heterosexual relationships.
Q- If I use condoms and birth control pills, why do I need to be tested?
Birth control pills do not prevent STDs. You must use a combination of both female or male condoms with birth control patches or pills if you want to prevent unwanted pregnancy and STDs at the same time. However, none of these contraceptives are 100 percent. There's also an issue with using the wrong type of condoms or putting condoms on incorrectly. Tip(No Pun intended :) ) For how to wear a condom correctly go here:

Q- I've never been tested for HIV/AIDS. What is it like?
Aids testing can be scary, but it really isn't, & its easier than you think.
In the article, "Getting Tested for HIV/AIDS," AC Source Writer Shamontiel gives a really excellent detailed account of her experience being tested for HIV/AIDS the first time at BEHIV.
Well thats it for this time..
We here at Black-Friend-Finder.com care about YOU!
Black Love is a wonderful thing, but do it responsibly.
And always, always, practice safe sex.

instant. So, be very careful with this when engaging in internet dating. Black Online singles services include chatrooms. Black Chatrooms are a option of net dating that allow
you to have conversations with a potential mate. Chatrooms have instant messagenger languages such as LOL (Lots of Laughter or Laugh Out Loud), AS (Age and Sex) and those

Today is A Great Day To Meet Someone..
Here are some "Cool" dating facts and Stats I have compiled for your viewing pleasure..
1. Statistically, odds favor black males : There are 86 single unmarried black males for every 100 single unmarried black girls , although in some regions the gender ratio favors black women, especially out in the nw. Other cities where women have it better include: Austin, Texas; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Tempe, Arizona; and Sunnyvale and Santa Ana, California. A big bonus for single black girls thinking of relocating: All these cities are sunny and warm climate.
2. 44 percent of 18+ Americans are available and single, according to U.S. Census figures. So basically there are over 100 million single unattached people out there. So, "There's nobody out there for me," is now NOT an excuse..
3. The best place for unattached black people is NY, where 50 percent of the states people are unmarried, and Washington, D.C., where a huge 70 percent of the population is dating and single. The bottom places are Idaho, where 61 percent of people are married; and Utah, where 59 percent of people are presently married.
4. 51% percent of black singles use flattery, according to the book Are You Normal About Sex, Love, and Relationships? Slighty touching them in a friendly non threatening manor, is a tactic used by 25 percent of black single people. Yet another 23 % use the schoolyard approach and send the word out through a friend.
5. Only 10 percent of black women and 3 percent of black males say they've found a relationship at a bar or club -- So if you're single and looking, you'd do better hitting on hotties at your local coffee shop.
6. If you're into online dating, you're not at all alone: 40 million Americans use online dating services; that's roughly 40 % of our entire U.S. single-person pool. So if you haven't tried it yet, it's definitely time to get in now!
7. First impressions count bigtime: Males take about 15 mins to decide if a woman is worthwhile a 2nd date. For girls, time doesn't tick quite so fast -- they question whether or not to get together again for 1 hr or so.
8. Black Females and Black Males who post their photoraphs get more than twice as many emails as those that dont have photos, according to a study published by economists at MIT and University of Chicago. Those ar some great numbers!
9. Basically all couples clash over cash.
About 48 % of online matches report that their breakups happened over e-mail rather than in person.
10. The #1 problem for couples in America? You already know.. Disagreements about $, according to a poll by the University of Denver.
Until next time,

Black Dating in 2009
This Year Has Been Already Been Amazing!
I've Got a prediction.
2009 is the year for love..
I believe Black Love and Love in general Will help us all
thru these historic and unprecendented recession times
we are all having right now.
Think About it. Having a partner definitely makes you
feel better when you wake up in the morning.
Relationships, and in this case, " Black Relationships "
or Black Dating is like having a support system for a
bad economy or any difficult times.
You Can Help Each Other Out and Survive so to speak..
Let Me Ask You This?
How Do You Think Black People and Black Singles
Survived in other historic times like the old west or
the Great Depression?
Please Comment I'm interested to hear your views...
I think the main answer is, they eventually survived
by relying on eachother.
Anyway, I'm interested in your opinions...
So Give a Holla and comment!
