ABSTRACT
Long before being on the “down low” became part of the vernacular, Laura Randolph, a writer for Ebony, sought to illustrate that black women are unwittingly at risk for HIV through sexual relations with men who lead secret sexual lives with other men. To demonstrate the point, Ms Randolph provided an inaccurate account of how an HIV/ AIDS prevention activist had put the lives of black women in jeopardy. I was that activist.
