Explosion of Sexually Transmitted Infections In London's Gay Community
Brietbart ^ | 24th september 2014 | Andre Walker

Posted on 09/24/2014 12:01:46 PM PDT by Mount Athos

London's gay community is facing a sexual health crisis as a result of "worsening" awareness of the dangers of unsafe sex. Whilst gay and bisexual men represent less than 4 percent of London's population they are responsible for 84 percent of syphilis cases and 65 percent of gonorrhoea cases in the capital.

A new study from Public Health England (PHE), reported on by Pink News, suggested that around a quarter of all reported cases of sexually transmitted infections (STI) are diagnosed in gay men.

Diseases like gonorrhoea are not the only infections being reported in the gay community. The bacterial infection shigella flexneri – which causes diarrhoea – is common, as is lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV).

The report also warns of the dangers of "chemsex", the practise of taking drugs during a sexual encounter. Participants in chemsex are often less careful when it comes to using condoms, as they are high during sex sessions.

The drugs used in chemsex encounters include: crystal methamphetamine, GHB/GBL and mephedrone. The use of these drugs are much higher in the gay community than elsewhere in British life. All of these drugs are considered highly dangerous by doctors.

Dr Yvonne Doyle, regional director for PHE London said: "The worsening of sexual health of men who have sex with men is despite evidence that they are increasingly aware of and accessing services.

"High numbers of MSM are taking risks with their health by not using condoms consistently and as a result we are seeing rises in a whole range of STIs, including HIV."

It had been hoped that policies like same sex marriage would have encouraged the gay community to be less promiscuous. This report suggests that the impact of this policy has been very limited in sexual health terms.

Not just gay.

A lot of “hetero” men are looking for “buddies”. They want disease-free guys .

Yeah, sure he is disease-free. One of my friends just went over to the dark side and he’s already been infected.

that’s just crazy talk.

I visit a dermatologist regularly because,having red hair and fair skin,I'm at risk for skin cancers and have had many cancers removed.The treatment room I always seem to place in has a big,1,000 page Dermatology textbook in it.It weighs a ton.In this book are descriptions of,and photos of,every conceivable skin disease known to medical science.While waiting for the doctor I often look through the pages.

Some of the photos related to skins diseases developed by homosexuals are beyond belief.And BTW,although it would come as a surprise to many to hear this Dermatologists are considered to be best trained to diagnose and treat most STDs.

I read a study surveyed gay men and nearly 40% of gay men said they had had sex with over 500 other men.

"I am sure this news will be shocking to someone... somewhere..."

It won't get much play in the media, but any such attention would focus on the need for "more funding" and renewed warnings about fear of discrimination against homosexuals.

Only haters would say anything to encourage cessation of the behavior. I you feel love in your heart you will encourage them to keep on keepin’ on, as it were. <—Jack and Bill Liberal

The most diabolical consequence of sexual promiscuity has to be ‘closeted’ bisexual men who pass diseases on to their unsuspecting girlfriends or wives.

Just wait for somebody with Ebola to make the rounds of the gay bath houses in any major Western city. It will spread explosively.

[ Solution, stop putting your Johnson in the upstream toilet. ]

Reminds me of an old joke:

Patient: Doctor my arm hurts when i do this (moves his arm over his head).

Doctor: Then don’t do that.

[ Forgive me for not giving a sh*t.

We said STDs would explode. They are.

We said incest would be next. German high ethics court just voted it should be.

We said the progressives were insane. Proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. ]
