“One was HIV-positive and had not taken medication for the human immunodeficiency virus in two years, according to a new case report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. HIV is the virus that causes the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

The second woman had previously tested negative for HIV, but during the relationship, she became infected with the virus. This woman did not have other risk factors for HIV: she had not had heterosexual sex in 10 years, and she did not use injection drugs. “

All it takes is one person and one act of unprotected sex.

“All it takes is one person and one act of unprotected sex.”

That’s a technically correct, buy highly misleading statement. “They” want us to believe that AIDS is an equal threat to everyone. The fact is that MSM (Men who have Sex with Men, in this case) are many times more likely to contract the disease, than heterosexuals, or even WSW. Hundreds of times more likely, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

“Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM))a represent approximately 2% of the United States population, yet are the population most severely affected by HIV. In 2010, young MSM (aged 13-24 years) accounted for 72% of new HIV infections among all persons aged 13 to 24, and 30% of new infections among all MSM. At the end of 2010, an estimated 489,121 (56%) persons living with an HIV diagnosis in the United States were MSM or MSM-IDU.”
