CDC: 20% Of Gay Men Have HIV; Half Are Unaware
The Bulletin ^ | 10/4/2010 | Peter J Smith

Posted on 10/09/2010 6:29:19 AM PDT by IbJensen

Nearly half of sexually active homosexual men infected with the virus causing AIDS are unaware that they are carriers of the deadly disease, according to a new study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

The now released CDC study of 21 U.S. metropolitan areas in 2008 found that out of 8,153 sexually active homosexual and bisexual men, one out of five (1562) tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Of those infected, 44 percent (680) were unaware that they were carrying – and, by implication, spreading – HIV.

The CDC says that men who have sex with men (MSM) expose themselves to far greater risks for infection with HIV.

According to the CDC, the rate of new HIV diagnoses among homosexual men is more than 44 times that of heterosexual men.

The CDC also reported that MSM were responsible for 53 percent of new HIV infections in the United States in 2006. That year, the CDC recorded an estimated 56,300 new HIV cases.

CDC’s National HIV Behavioral Surveillance system (NHBS) collected the data by interviewing men 18 years and older at venues where they expected active homosexuals to gather, such as bars, clubs, and social organizations.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been under pressure to lift its ban – in place since 1983 – against MSM donating blood, arguing that current blood tests can detect the presence of HIV.

But defenders of the FDA policy have pointed out that there is a period of up to six months after a person becomes infected in which blood tests do not reveal HIV. This raises the chance for an HIV-positive individual to transmit it to someone else.

The FDA also states that HIV tests can fail to detect all infected blood donors. Since over 20 million blood transfusions each year, the FDA says that even a very small failure rate increases the chance of having undetected HIV in the donor population.

The CDC findings were published in September 24 edition of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

Gay Pride! Put this on your banner and march all the way to the cemetery.

Those deluded perverts who deny this also deny they have a one-way ticket, already punched, to hell.

Why a person with a functioning brain would believe this is an acceptable lifestyle simply doesn't understand the danger to one's health, let alone one's soul, when they shove their pee-pee into another's poo-poo. Then there's the disgusting aspect of homosexual love-making where one shoves his mouth up the other's bottom thereby ingesting fecal matter.

Perhaps many are unaware of the fact that their adoration of the anus is shared by most of history's serial killers.

They just aren't right in their thinking!

No way man.
Homosexuals expect YOU and the gub mint to pay ever increasing tax dollars for aids research.
And their filthy sick immoral lifestyle is none of your bidness.

Maybe part of the problems is whether or not anyone thinks of AIDS as deadly anymore?

Most people I’ve ever discussed it with think that you take a couple of pills every day and you’re good to go.

...I’m surprised that Obama hasn’t signed some kind of executive order mandating that queers be allowed to donate blood.

Don’t ask, don’t tell and don’t even think about the dreaded aids. Whistle as you pass the cemetery.

That’s the mindset of the perverts who march on Gay Pride Day shoulder to shoulder with the leftist politicians.

AID's case zero was traced to an AFRICAN diplomat at the UN who passed it to ? in NEW YORK. From there it went to FIRE ISLAND to a huge sodomite orgy at some beach house. From there, EVERYWHERE.

So much evil carries within it the seeds of its own destruction.

BTW, please don't let "them" steal a really good word like "gay". Call them SODOMITES as that's what they are. It has nothing to do with "sex" either.

Since AIDS at this point is basically 100% behavioral, I am not sure how it can spread unless there is a total disregard for common sense.

No matter what your moral convictions are on homosexuality,
there is no excuse for the blatant lack of personal
responsibility shown by most. My alternate lifestyle is that
I am a gun nut. I realize that the life style that I love
could be very dangerous to me or others if not conducted
according to strict rules. If I were to stand on the town
square and fire random shots blindfolded I'd be put away for
years and never own a gun again. Many gays want to conduct
their sex lives in the same manner and have us not only
condone it, but pick up the bill.

About 15 years ago, I worked with a man that was gay. He was older in his early 50’s at the time. He never really wore his homosexuality on his sleeve and I only found-out when some big-mouthed leftist fag-hag called him the “worst dressed gay man in Dupont Circle” in a client meeting.
He stated that the AIDS scare was probably the best thing to hit the gay community because it cut-back on risky behavior and he was not alone in his feelings. He said it encouraged his friends to become more stable.

Now, they encourage the homos to do whatever they want because the medicine will keep you alive and soon it’ll be free if you keep voting democrat, that is.

Just reflect for a moment or so. As a member of the NRA and a person who collects and respects firearms I can say this:

The Army taught me that my pee-pee is a gun, but that has nothing to do with acting out the life of a perverted sodomist.

Homosexuals, let alone their agenda, are a threat to polite society. They not only plunge their ‘manhood’ into another’s anus, but may feast on the ‘partner’s’ fecal matter.

What they practice is not only a mortal sin, but is a true danger to their health. The only way out of this morass is repentence.

Yet instead of bathhouses, San Francisco lawmakers are concerned with how “unhealthy” Happy Meals are with the included toys.

... and nearly 100 percent of homosexual men infected with the AIDS virus will become aware they have the deadly disease in due time.

Have you ever seen that “40 cents a day” commercial (the one with the U2 singer)?

When you’re sending out a message like that, what can we expect?

"Iran does the right thing with homosexuals."

Hey Dean--- do you mean executing them?

I think that's wong. Anal sodomy has to be outlawed, whether by heterosexuals or homosexuals (and I'm sure the number of heteros who do anal sex with females is higher than the number of MSM's.) No discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Everybody must be made aware of the ban on anal sodomy, and the resons why. At that point, evryon must either abstain from the forbidden act, or accept permanent quarantine, being separated away from the rest of society for the rest of their lives. No executions. That is vindictive and extreme, and generally lets hetero buttistas off the hook.

You're in league with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Your mind is as sick as an AIDS patient's body.

"Love the sinner, hate the sin" is the motto we live by. Maybe you should try another site to post on.

Unaware, or in denial?

The seriousness of AIDS in the U.S. and Canada has been GROSSLY overestimated due to the sodomists' agenda and their political clout. Check any statistical data on the leading causes of death:

The top 15 leading causes of death in 2007 in the U.S. were:

1. Diseases of heart (heart disease)
2. Malignant neoplasms (cancer)
3. Cerebrovascular diseases (stroke)
4. Chronic lower respiratory diseases
5. Accidents (unintentional injuries)
6. Alzheimer’s disease
7. Diabetes mellitus (diabetes)
8. Influenza and pneumonia
9. Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis (kidney disease)
10.Septicemia
11.Intentional self-harm (suicide)
12.Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis
13.Essential hypertension and hypertensive renal disease(hypertension)
14.Parkinson’s disease
15.Assault (homicide)

Do you see AIDS anywhere on this list? As Glenn Beck says, DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

I disagree.Consider how many innocent people died of AIDS because the gays had an agenda to spread the disease to the general population.Hemophiliacs were nearly wiped out by AIDS contracted from tainted blood products.
You know what the only sure way is to control the problem,but you’re unwilling to admit it.

I think this was posted last week, and is consistent with other findings: http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/RevealingStatistics.html#Sec8
