Baltimore (AP) - The Maryland Department of Health says results from a federally funded study underscore the need for targeted HIV prevention programs, especially for gay black men in Baltimore.

The research was a risk-behavior study of Baltimore-area men who have sex with men.

The study reveals that one-third the participants are infected with the disease. But half of the African American study participants are HIV positive.

The study was conducted by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health between June 2004 and April.

An official with the health department says early results from the study have resulted in programs to combat high-risk behavior.

The Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Central Maryland is establishing a counseling group to help gay men deal with homophobia and adopt practices that reduce the risk of HIV.

A few years back I read an article that had 25% of gay NYC men being HIV+, so the numbers are in line with that. In the last few years, more gay men have abandoned condom use

Something to think about when you hear about paedophiles molesting young boys. It's not just the rape -- it's the odds of the kid acquiring a fatal disease

Hardly the spelling police I was merely pointing out the incongruity that both spellings are apt.

Sorry it went over your head.

You know, if certain individuals would just sit down and keep their mouths shut, this thing could be nipped in the bud.

ROTFL, never heard that one yet. I'll certainly use it again.

[puppypusher]

Gee! Im stunned that they actually needed a study to determine that gays were infecting each other with a lethal disease that has been known of since 1980.

What idiots.

Another expensive "Lightening Grasp of the Obvious" gov't study ...

Yeah, they throw these things together so they can get public funding for gay advocacy.
