Answer Key:
The correct answer for numbers 7,10,12,13,and 17 is no. All other answers should be yes. Realize that even one wrong answer can put you at risk for HIV/AIDS. The more wrong answers you have, the more at risk you are. By becoming more knowledgeable about HIV/AIDS and how it’s transmitted, and making a few changes in your lifestyle, you can avoid becoming another HIV/AIDS statistic.
How You Can Benefit from this Quiz
Educate yourself about HIV/AIDS, because ignorance invites infection. Knowledge is power. The more you know about HIV/AIDS and how it’s transmitted, the less likely you will be to engage in risky behavior that can jeopardize your health. If more than half your answers were wrong, that means there are major gaps in your knowledge. You could already be infected with HIV through no fault of your own. Get tested. Know your own and your partner’s HIV status. Practice safe sex. If you are, or have been sexually involved with someone whose HIV status you don’t know, GET TESTED RIGHT AWAY. The longer you wait to find out, the worse it will be your health later on, if you turn out to be HIV positive.
Why this Quiz Was Designed
I designed the Black Woman’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Quiz to help Black women identify the gaps in their knowledge and behavior in their lifestyles that put them at risk for HIV/AIDS. The quiz helps pinpoint any changes you need to make in order to safeguard your health. As an infidelity expert and a Black woman, I feel I have a 2-fold obligation to speak out on this issue because same sex infidelity, better known in the Black community as the down low., is one of the main ways Black women are contracting HIV.
Black Women, the Down Low and HIV/AIDS
As Black women, we need to wake up and realize that, as much as we love them, our husbands and boyfriends can be a potential source of HIV infection. Alarming numbers of Black women are becoming infected with HIV from having sex with men on the down low. If your answers indicate that you might be involved with a man on the down low, get the FREE Down Low Dozen tip sheet so you can find out for sure. It’s a common misconception that you can tell a down low man by the way he looks or acts. You can’t. Get the facts. Your health is at stake.
