Yep. You notice they don’t specify gay or hetero sex.My guess is that the bonesmokers own the vast majority of these cases.

Apps don’t cause unprotected sex just like guns don’t cause violence.

It’s a Sodomite problem, but they want to make it appear to effect heteros as well.

Homosexuality is a mental disease caused by physical / sexual abuse in childhood. Now people can’t even get treatment for the abnormality.

Very sad and net just makes it easier for both predators and victims to continue the cycle of sin.

Unfortunately the numbers of young women, in particular, are hooked on drugs and that is the primary problem here. These are mothers and I assume their babies are born He C pos. On the one hand, taking drugs is a choice they make, on the other hand it must be a prison they can’t get out of. It’s very rural and they don’t need grindr, probably buy their drugs with sex. It is like the 60’s only deadlier.

No, the real danger to people with HIV comes when the infrastructure producing the necessary medication is destroyed, then the people are stuck running out of meds, and for all but a few that depend on HIV medicine to keep the virus suppressed, the results really will not be good.

That’s what they’re saying.

They’re wrong.

These folks seem to be getting the clap from taking it up the ass.

That isn’t what I have experienced in rural WV. I have actually never heard of HIV increasing because medication infrastructure is destroyed. HIV is spread the same way it always has, and heroin is back in style as well. I think there is an of M2M and IV drugs. Like two big circles that intersect. This coincides with the marked increase in syphilis and other VDs.. STDs. This is just my observation of a few cases and not by any means scientific. I am curious if this is the same in big cities. I am truly alarmed at the Cuban variant.

Yes, but with medication, HIV is just a chronic, insured condition for those who have it. Does drug use effect the immune system? Sure it does, but medication pretty much is s decent check on whatever progress HIV makes.

And I bet county health officials can’t look at your Tinder / Grindr trail when you show up with STDs. Which would be the rational thing to do, if we really cared about addressing the problem. Sort of like how San Francisco didn’t shut down the bath houses when the AIDS epidemic among MSMs was getting going.
