Somewhere over the rainbow, people with AIDS are dying from tuberculosis.
The illegal border-crossers from Central America have a high incidence of TB on their side of their rainbow, and are bringing it into the United States. One demographic that is particularly vulnerable to catching TB and should be made aware of this health hazard is members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.
A new report published in the Journal of American Medical Associates shows that while the annual diagnosis rate of HIV—the virus that causes AIDS—has declined by one-third in the general population, the rate has more than doubled among young gay and bisexual males.
People with TB may not even be symptomatic even though they may have been infected by the actual bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Screening and diagnosis is also difficult, especially for AIDS patients.
A research paper in Biomed Central reports, “Tuberculosis is a global emergency predominantly affecting developing countries. HIV has been the single most important reason for acquisition of tuberculosis for many patients. Conversely, tuberculosis can result in rapid progression of HIV disease.”

So when will the catfight between the open borders lobby and the Pink Mafia start?
Have they been having a lot of contact with young illegal aliens?
I don't even want to think about how this transmission is happening....
“while the annual diagnosis rate of HIV—the virus that causes AIDS—has declined by one-third in the general population, the rate has more than doubled among young gay and bisexual males.”
Can the left please remind me why these lifestyles should be “celebrated”?
Well then, stop deedling minors, lgbt community.
Yeah, like that is going to happen
Fixed it.
After I came back from the first Gulf War....about a year later, I had to get a TB test for processing out of my unit in the states to Germany. I came up positive. From my memory of the four months I spent in Saudi...we ate at a facility run by Filipino contracted cooks....who continually coughed. I remember a joke made by an associate one afternoon....centered on our hosts all having TB. Well....months later, I realized that was probably the connection to my TB episode.
I suspect there’s probably 400,000 people walking around the nation with TB and don’t know about it until it’s extremely active.
TB spreads through the air. I think the point of the article is that people with AIDS have little or no immunity. A sneeze, that a healthy person’s immune system could fight off, could kill someone with AIDS.
(Whatever you don’t want to think about could be a factor too.)
Every Cloud...... Silver something....
Maybe Lining....
Hmmm....
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade...
When life gives you lemons, break out the tequila!
The article implies that people with HIV are more vulnerable. It clearly states that the rate of HIV in gayboys has skyrocketed. Stupid writer. There are hardly ANY lezbos who have HIV and that’s the L in LGBT!
