Safe to travel to Haiti as an American?
Well I'll be damned! @ 15:37 A.T!!!!!!!! Born in Haiti but grew up in Miami. Good friend of mine
down here for many years. He's told me several times if I ever want to travel to that side of the island
he'd take me over there. He's also given me countless reasons why I should avoid the capital.
He and I have had many discussions about how Haiti's problems need to be solved by Haitian people
on Haitian soil. Johnny in the video as well... Absolute Classic.

The good old days of an overweight American in a Hawaiian shirt with a camera around the neck and a cigar in the mouth are dwindling....
Not that you are that.....
But some places aren’t favorable to Americans
In France if I am ever confused with an American, and I correct to Canadian
The apologies are fast and furious
Just saying

Haitian Advice
You may take out of this what you want. Reports in the media are saying there are less Haitians returning to their homeland from the DR for the holidays. Normally the holiday departures begin early in December, by full bus loads, not this year. It is expected those who do leave will start on or near the 20th. Haitians questioned about this mentioned reasons not to travel is having difficulties at the border combined with violence and unrest in Haiti.
The Haitians are offering advice by their own activities.

The key populations most affected by HIV in Haiti are:
Sex workers, with an HIV prevalence of 8.4%.
Gay men and other men who have sex with men, with an HIV prevalence of 18.2%.
Prisoners, with an HIV prevalence of 4.3%.
Since 2010, new HIV infections have decreased by 25% and AIDS-related deaths have decreased by 24%.
Dominican Republic Aids Rate
Adult aged 15 to 49 HIV prevalence rate 0.9 [0.7 - 1.2]
Women aged 15 to 49 HIV prevalence rate 0.8 [0.7 - 1.1]
Men aged 15 to 49 HIV prevalence rate 1.0 [0.7 - 1.3]
(Although among sex workers in the DR the rate is closer to 10% - per Wiki & NGO reports)
both from UNAIDS source
So there is probably an equal chance of being infected by a sex worker from either country.. ..... .....
Thread has been cleaned up. There will be no more chica discussion, Sosúa Playa, stick to your other site for that.
Things are not much good at Haiti because of no rule of law, or The wealthiest 1% of Haitians own the same wealth as 45 percent of the most impoverished population. There is a new baseline of poverty in Haiti, based on consumption: The national poverty rate is 58.6 percent. I consider that high popularity rate, lack of quality education and failure of the legal institute is making Haiti a failure state. In my opinion, it is much safe to travel there.

Haiti’s man in Washington, an ambassador with seven years of experience defending his country’s image, has been recalled by his government effective immediately.
At a time when Haiti is facing a deepening economic and political crisis that needs representation before the Trump administration, Paul Altidor received a letter informing him that his services will no longer be needed.
His recall comes as Haiti continues its descent into chaos, marking its seventh consecutive day of protests Wednesday that saw one journalist shot, at least one person injured and opposition lawmakers leading protesters in their demands that the president resign from office.
“We are asking for President Jovenel Moïse to leave,” Sen. Youri Latortue said as he walked the hours-long stretch from the city of Croix-des-Bouquets, along the northeastern edge of the capital, to the Champs de Mars, the public square near downtown Port-au-Prince where the presidential palace sits. “We would never leave the people by themselves, so we are accompanying them in front of the National Palace.”

Demonstrators drag the body of a fellow protester toward police, as a form of protest after police shot into the crowd where he died, during a demonstration demanding the resignation of President Jovenel Moise near the presidential palace in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2019. Protesters are angry about skyrocketing inflation and the government’s failure to prosecute embezzlement from a multi-billion Venezuelan program that sent discounted oil to Haiti.

Just met a single female who was travelling with a group of women in Haiti and the youngest girl at 15 got separated from the group, she knows not how and was raped by three men and became pregnant. The little result is two and quite cute she says.
