At the end of 2014 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released its sexually transmitted disease surveillance data for the previous year, 2013, showing the rates for primary and secondary syphilis, which is the most infectious stage of syphilis, increased by an alarming 10 percent.

“This second year of double-digit increases of syphilis rates is completely unacceptable and also significantly intersects with our HIV epidemic,” says William Smith, executive director of the National Coalition of STD Directors. “This continues to affect populations already disproportionately impacted by all STDs, including HIV, most notably gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM).”

I also read some homosexuals have gone blind from a type of Syphillus. Yeah, let's let them donate blood...to Obama'nation and his family.

[Veggie Todd]

Color me shocked.

I’m thinking that the ‘experts’ might want to work on their spelling skills if they want any credibility. “75% of all Syphillus cases”

[YHAOS]

Hoo wooda thunk.

Maybe now that they are all “married”, they’ll keep it in the family. Maybe not.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Is it considered Homophobic to not be surprised by this?

[Farmer Dean]

Sounds like what happens in the barrel doesn’t always stay in the barrel.

Whenever I get a homosexual patient in the hospital, for reasons other than std’s, they always have one.

Does this fall under “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”?

Fudge packing is nasty business. Men shouldn’t do it. Forget HIV and venereal diseases. UTIs with antibiotic resistance are enough to scare off normal people. Homosexuality is like going for a swim in a septic tank.

I’m amazed it didn’t get autocorrected.

The overall 2012 rate [of syphilis] for blacks was 6.1 times the rate for whites. In 2012, the rate of P&S syphilis among black men was 5.7 times the rate among white men; the rate among black women was 16 times the rate among white women (Table 36B).

“Research studies now project that one in five — listen to me, hard to believe — one in five heterosexuals could be dead from AIDS at the end of the next three years. That’s by 1990. One in five. It is no longer just a gay disease. Believe me.” — Oprah Winfrey

The coalition notes that the rate of syphilis in 2013 was the highest recorded since 1996. That 10 percent increase in syphilis rates in 2013 was almost entirely increases in men, mainly gay and bi men; no overall increase was seen in women that year. Smith also reports that syphilis and HIV coinfection among gay and bi men is so common that over half (52 percent) of MSM with primary and secondary syphilis also have HIV and that MSM account for 75 percent of the primary and secondary syphilis cases reported to the CDC.

Off to the blood bank and keep up the chant...

This continues to affect populations already disproportionately impacted by all STDs, including HIV, most notably gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM).

Kind of a twisting of the language. It appears that they are disproportionally the CAUSE of these diseases, not "impacted by".

Kind of like "Serial killers are disproportionally impacted by having to watch those around them die".
