Black men, having sex with black girls and that’s how they infected each other with HIV which increased the amount of HIV patients. Some of the family abandoned them and stop taking responsibility for them because they had HIV. The writer Vilarosa also states how the black community and bisexual people got neglected and didn’t get proper treatment because of their color and a different gender. The genre of the magazine article is to spread awareness of HIV. The language of the article is very basic and easy to understand for the audience. The audience is mostly regular people because they don’t have much knowledge about how black people are suffering from HIV at a high rate and how they should get the treatment from the society and the government. The winter Vilorosa also asserts how black, bisexual and transgender people should be treated from their families and the society when they suffer from HIV.
