07/08/24. Houston We have a problem! HIV, STI/STD rates rise in Texas. But Prevention is available. 

I am a 34 year old virgin woman that's born and raised in Houston, TX. I haven't missed out on anything except bad health, heartache, and pain.... Hallelujah!!!!

I am very close to 70 years old. I have not had any sexual encounters in many many years. I don't trust most of the men I have met. I have met so many women who paid the ultimate consequence from a lying cheat. Of course it goes both ways because there are women who will do that to men also. I find it safer to just be alone and focus on my grandchildren.

This is 2024,how in the FK is anyone still uninformed about HIV

Walter, think twice before buying a condo. I’m sure you don’t want to be under the rulership of a HOA (Condo Board). I just heard of a recent case where a female condo owner lost her lawsuit against the HOA who had fined her $100 per day because she refused to remove her camera doorbell. She lived alone and had been a victim of a violent crime. Now she has to pay the HOA $73,000.

Houston we have A PROBLEM!!

I've been celibate for 7 years now..I don't even get the urge to have sex anymore because I KNOW how trifling people are. I do not miss it AT ALL.

Something is seriously wrong with us as a collective. And things are only going to get worse.

I feel like more straight individuals need to be more informed about prep, it’s like it’s not understood it’s not just for the gay community. Everyone needs to understand trust no one and take care of yourself, and it’s perfectly ok, nothing to be ashamed of, you should be ashamed if you’re not. Working in healthcare, I remember hearing people not wanting to take their meds because it affected their libido….even their transplant meds, well you know how that went. Over all thought is that’s why I roll solo dollo because I’ve seen people’s thought process first hand. Don’t leave it up to someone else to care about your life, if they don’t care about their own. Some people know their status and don’t care.

Even if the statistics are inaccurate, the rates are still way too high

I’ve patiently waited for you to address Houston-lanta.

I'm a Gen Xer. When I was a teen, back in the 90s. Pop culture, in the news, movies, and talk show it was drilled in our heads about safe sex. CONDOMS, CONDOMS, CONDOMS. I think there were even public service announcements? What happened? Greed? Ignorance?

With regards to prep, its just as what the doctor said. Medical professionals do try to pigeon hole you depending on your sex, age, relationship status etc. Prep is exclusively targeted to gay/bi men.

You alright sweetheart I'm 76 I don't date too many men out here my age have HIV I run like hell my husband been dead for years I do not date I do not go out I stay home and I leave these men alone I stay off to myself everything you say you are so right may your day be beautiful sweetheart you are so right❤

I lost count of the women who contracted a disease (HIV or STIs) from their husbands, fiancé or long term boyfriends. The wives found out from their annual exams, symptoms or from gossip about their partners cheating. Maybe one or two husbands told their wives. It just disappointing and dangerous!☹️☹️☹️

PRep, although a good drug for preventing spread of HIV, is also causing other STDs rates to increase because no one is having protected sex.

I'm 26. Never entertained the idea of getting active especially in Atlanta.

Walter I applaud you for your honesty with yourself, your self love and ability to be responsible for your own life. THAT makes all the difference in the world. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thank you for this information Walter! I did not know that PREP was for everyone despite their age group and that doxycycline can immediately treat certain STD’s when taken immediately after a sexual encounter. Thanks again!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 when he said "fukin fukin fukin fukin fukin" while shaking the pills like maracas. *deceased*

Condoms aren't 100% effective. But they ain't too bad. Afterwards you sleep better 🤭

I’m in the gym right now, taking care of myself. So happy I don’t have to worry about this. Praying for all the people nutting up out there.

Houston and ATL are twins 😂😂😂😂

This is why I have been celibate for 6 years and I am from Texas💜

Tfs❤because this valuable HIV/STD info is definitely needed. I know I’m talking crazy but a lot of problems could be eliminated if we normalized celibacy,too.

Here in nyc it's the same thing the numbers for std rates are very high.

STDs and STIs are a significant concern across the United States, including in rural areas. It is crucial to exercise extreme caution as these infections can be difficult to eliminate once contracted. Engaging in oral sex can lead to contracting diseases, even though some individuals mistakenly believe it is risk-free.

We spend a lot of time focusing on STDs,STIs, and HIV. Meanwhile, millions of people die every year from heart disease and cancer. Yes, we can talk about it all at the same time, but people seem to take STDs,STIs, and HIV a lot more serious.

As a Memphian, I'm not offended by your analogies of the ignorance in our city. It appears that many in my city are reveling in ignorance. We must do better.

1:07 This is so Truly sad, I remember theEarly Days of A.I.D.S Where people were dying within MONTHS, treated like Absolute Pariah's and the President at the Time (Ronald Reagan) didn't want to say the word A I.D.S until Forced. Now People can live with H.I.V/A I D.S. To Me STI'S or STD'S both are Life Threatening and have Long term Effects. I don't want to take Prep , I'll take Celibacy for $$$$ Alex.

You always speak facts, in a manner all people can understand. You are a blessing to all❤.

These diseases are outta control

1. Don’t all STIs and STDs have the potential to cause damage? 2. Doesn’t whether or not a person shows symptoms vary from person to person?

I’m new to your channel, great show very interesting, I really enjoyed your video on your mother’s trip to the emergency room

I love your page ,I love you Walt very informative ❤

Thank you for your videos. I used to be loose but years ago I came across your videos and stopped. My girlfriend knows my past and she has a past but we never got anything. We watch your videos weekly and are thankly for you preaching the truth

Glad you made this video

To some or many this information means nothing. Hell, if I got a cancer diagnosis, the last thing I would want is a pack of cigarettes. But some folks don’t care. Puff away!!?

I used to work in HIV prevention as an educator and counselor. From my experience, despite many conversations and advocacy efforts, gay and bisexual men often do not like to use condoms, and cisgender women frequently do not ask their male partners to use them either. I also noticed that younger generations, particularly Generation Z, do not worry about HIV as much as previous generations. They often believe that if they contract HIV, they can simply manage it with medication or do not engage with healthcare at all in some cases. Today, people engage in unprotected sex without precautions, especially in the Black community, where there are continued higher rates of out-of-wedlock births, STDs, STIs, and the re-emergence of syphilis and HIV/AIDS. I am not here to judge anyone's decisions, but it is a growing trend among the community.

This is got to be the best video this week Thank you so much for this information I know I pass it on to my friends and associates and some of them will just roll their eyes but it's really good information and it needs to be said❤

Poor Houstonians...I'd always thought of that city as one for families/working people to live a wholesome existence. Then the party crowd made their way down there and ruined it.

Great advice - currently my godmother is in hospital suffering from a a stroke and a diabetic because she's afraid of doctors at the age of 76 never taken any medication. She drives a Mercedes and all purses👜 are LV's Prada and Gucci. All could've been prevented with daily medication... PEOPLE GO TO THE DR AND TAKE YOUR MEDICINE.

Walter thanks for ur personal input on important heath issues with a humerus twist. Always look forward to your commentary.

I have been abstinent for 6 years and I’m glad everyday that I can go to bed in peace not having to worry about getting an STD because people out here aren’t taken care of there health overall. I don’t even desire it. I’m to busy focusing on getting into nursing school.

Love your videos uncle Walt! Still waiting on that video about you and Earl 😅 I’m nosey as hell, I know.

Walter, all blacks need to hear your message. I'm in the UK and it's just as relevant here. If you are black in the UK and especially of Caribbean origin, whatever your sexual proclivity, then this video is 💯 relevant.

If you going to bust it open to everybody might as well take care of yourself while doing it.

Another awesome video Walter! I love how to speak your mind and the truth and you always keep it real!❤💯

Unfortunately, so many of these people lie about what they are taking or that they don't want to protect themselves because they want to be "free". All these people are silly as hell and never think about how dangerous someone is based on who they think is "hot". You worry about you and keep yourself safe at all times, no matter if you are in a relationship or not, these people are just dangerous. The truth is trust no one.

You didn’t know Houston is the new ATL 😂

✨💐🙏🏾Fantastic video & thank you Walter for the great wisdom 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸 Ray from Chicago south side 💚🙏🏾💐 You help me make better choices in life 💚💙🩵💐🙏🏾💐

You’re so honest and I love that about you ❤

Who sleep around in 2024 without a condom is out of there mind

Your so real telling it like it is good info hopefully they hear the message..

hey walter, when will you do a video on what the situation is between you and earl?

Alot of ignorance out here. Way too much, and it's costing a heavy, heavy price for some.

Very informative. You kept it 💯 and hilarious.😂👌🏽

Mr. Hampton your voting criteria just took me out!!!😂😂😂😂😅😅.

I realise this is a very serious topic but Walter is fukin hillarious. I rewatched several segments of this video because it made me laugh.

hi walter xup from africa. been following up over the years but never come across your youtube page. shalom bro

Houston is Atlanta West..

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Me too Walter! I don't care what they are saying about President Biden. The alternative is fatal to our country, and mostly fatal for Women and Black people. Anyway, thanks for sharing

Exactly Walt. have other interests in life professional art family physical/mental fitness. A good example to follow.

Why you not talking about sexual transmission of dark spirits and bad energy...

Intellectually I don’t know how someone could mask hiv in a lab test. The test is for the presence of the antibody and the antibody exists with or without a high viral load.

Walter you are too damn funny 😂😂😂

Walter, please don't do a video regarding you and Earl's 20+ year relationship. I personally don't want him to physically attack you real bad. Do Tell!

Thanks bro great assessment of us……definitely chk out the meds that can keep us off the slab……one thought so helpful fosho🎉🎉🎉

I like the statement made by Dr Eboni January, about how everyone knows what twerking is, but the same energy isn't there when it comes to STD's. Ah man uncle Walter singing always makes me smile!! It is sad that so many people don't know about PrEP, and don't use it, despite some states/provinces/countries having programmes that give PrEP out for free. We can get PrEP for free at some community clinics in South Africa, so it breaks my heart hearing of new HIV infections in 2024. I am also on PrEP, and take the pill daily. Took my hepatitis B vaccine shots last year. Only had 1 encounter in 2024 and that was safe sex.

😂😂😂 You a damn trip!!! I say the same thing about Biden!😂 He forgave my student loans he could be casket ready and still got my vote!

So it was an actual state or county worker that put these numbers out wow ❤❤ people can’t keep quiet at all

This is very smart ❤

Ima get me some prep even though I'm faithful to my lady she may be messing around. better safe than sorry.

Spreading because of sexual irresponsibility, not misinformation. Get checked daily and make sure your sexual partner gets checked. I caught a std because of being irresponsible. Thank God a pill got rid off it. Some people weren't so lucky

Dang Walter, it’s been 2 years already?!?!

It always baffles me how people say they try to find love by sleeping around.

great report

It's especially bad in the Black community, and Atlanta is infested with it. I believe Andrew Gillum has it.

I remember 3 years ago I was intimate with someone I didn’t know him that well I got scared when the condom ripped I went to get PEP the following day. I googled what can I do after unprotected intercourse and that came out. I’m glad I tested negative 6 months later! I found out the guy was sleeping with many many women! It was at least over 200 . He asked me to be his woman I said nope!! That is a dangerous person

I am Mary Poppins compared to most of the people I know. I haven’t had sex in almost 10 years and I plan on keeping it that way. People are nasty and will lay with anything - including an Alien if it came down from outer space or a mermaid if it came from the abyss. When I did date, I got on Prep for that time being. Nowadays, I have no desire to lay down with anyone. I know people who move from city to city after they’ve had sex with all the people they could in that location. That disturbs my soul. So I’m going to sit this one out and remain celibate for my own peace of mind.

Im taking PreP too.

Hey Walt and fellow Hamptonians!!!

I also take Doxy PEP, as well as Cabenuva (injectable PrEP) everyone is flocking to Tx and the std rates are increasing smh.

How are you finding all of these contractors in Atlanta? They do not like working in Atlanta. They're either reasonable and no show or expensive and take for ever to complete a job or some times a no show.

This is nature/God telling you to stop being promiscuous.

Good video

Miami too

I can’t even find a man for sex! Probably because everybody moving as fast as rabbits 🐇

Omg Walter you better preach thank you ❤

And on that political note, what about real ID's? Real ID's are supposed to be the ID that every citizen in the USA needs to have in order to travel between states (I heard) and enter federal buildings. I read about allowing people to go into federal buildings if they have those ID's. Why isn't this more than a news article if they want us to have those so bad? 2020 should have been the year this was established, but now you have until October of this year (2024) to comply to this extra security measure.

Thank you my brother for sharing I have not been doing nothing for years because I don't want them issues but I be asking for them pills .

I think all the trafficking in Houston may have something to do with the high std rates.

Yesss--St. Louis. And its funny they all migrate between ATL,STL, Memphis,Chicago and Houston.

They seem to be doing good....but they are not telling you the problems they have at home....so you may think that stds is not serious....! 😱

How many coffees a day do you have?

Did we hear a cat in the background?

There are too many people in this comment section that are misinformed. It’s not about where you live or how many partners you have. Having that mindset can get you caught up. There are married people giving HIV to their spouses all over his country and world. Never thumb your nose at other people thinking you’re in a better situation. Unless you’ve taken a vow of lifelong abstinence, you are not exempt.

I’m 43yo and single and This is why I don’t have sex anymore I just don’t do it I’m scared

You are hilarious 😂😂😂

Meg the stallion was just in concert in Texas. I blame her🤷🏾‍♂️...😂😂😂jk 😭

I hv been celibate for 3yrs ! It feels really good to know ur not in that number ✨🙏🏾✨
