Behind the Increase in HIV Infections Among Gay and Bisexual Men
wsj.com ^ | Sep 25, 2014 | Drew Altman

Posted on 09/30/2014 1:29:39 AM PDT by Berlin_Freeper

Gay and bisexual men represent an estimated 2% of the U.S. population but more than half of all people living with HIV and 66% of new HIV infections. They are the only population group in the United States for which HIV infections are rising. Projections have shown that if current trends continue, half of all gay and bisexual men will be HIV-positive by age 50.

The title says behind the increase. Isn’t “behind” kind of what got them in trouble in the first place?

They have the impression that HIV/AIDS isn’t as bad as it is or that it is treatable.
A positive thing even.
Some pursue infection, called “bug chasers”.

Regulate homosexuality for the same reason we do smoking!

Also there should be a sin tax on homosexuality.

“Whatever the approach, there is no question that the problem of HIV among gay and bisexual men remains urgent–and under the radar.”

Yes, of course, it has pretty much been this way since the disease’s first appearance in the USA...urgent-and under the radar. Of course it was called GRID initially. Then, to ramp-up the urgency, the homosexual activists deliberately conducted blood bank terrorism with known AIDS tainted blood donors. The idea was that if enough traditional and religious persons became infected, the cure and vaccine would immediately come to the rescue. The sodomizers believed their disease was getting low priority due to their deviant and perverse lifestyle’s lack of public support.

The atheistic continually force their efforts to destroy tradition and religious morality in the claim of “liberty” and “freedom” and “democracy.” They know their efforts result in oppression, authoritarianism and totalitarianism for the masses. What’s funny is so many atheistic intellectuals are so stupid that they believe they would actually be one of the few elite.

The militant atheist doesn’t realize the tool that he is.

The sad part about this, and of course it is not mentioned in the article...is that it is not just homosexual and bisexual men that make of the 66% of new HIV/AIDS cases in the tallest column of the chart.

That 66% is among men-who-have-had-sex-with-men. Think about that, the next time someone mentions sexualizing your children toward sodomy marriage in their kindergarten and elementary schools and the the next time someone like Obama’s safe school czar hold a high school sex ed forum at a university and passes out fisting kits and encourages young students to experiment to see if they may be homosexual and suggest they taste each other’s semen.

Homosexuals may only be 2% of the population...and not much is ever going to change that. Records indicate as many as 4 times that 2% “experiment.” A lot can change that.

Ever since AIDS/HIV was discovered in the homosexual community, these folks have taken totally irresponsible attitudes toward the spread of the disease.

We were told about the coming heterosexual AIDS/HIV crisis that never happened. Reason is AIDS/HIV is a problem primarily associated with intravenous drug users, male homosexuals, and females who have sex with infected males.

We even have deranged individuals who have sex with known infected people so they can spread the disease to others. There are a lot of homosexuals that are self-destructive narcissists. Their freedom to have orgasms with as many partners as they want supersedes any logic.

More than irresponsible, they continue to try to infect others.

Homosexuality is a mental disorder and their behavior towards AIDS show it.

“Being queer means pushing the parameters of sex and family, and in the process, transforming the very fabric of society.”

—National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy director,
Paul Ettelbrick (Kurtz, 2003)

Research Findings on Promiscuity

In 1968, Hoffman stated: “Sexual promiscuity is one of the most striking, distinguishing features of gay life in America” (p. 45). A much-cited study by Bell and Weinberg (1978), published by the Kinsey Institute, and often called the most ambitious study of homosexuality ever attempted, gathered its data before the AIDS crisis had begun. This study showed that 28 percent of homosexual males had had sexual encounters with one thousand or more partners. Furthermore, 79 percent said more than half of their sex partners were strangers. Only 1 percent of the sexually active men had had fewer than five lifetime partners. The authors concede: “Little credence can be given to the supposition that homosexual men’s ‘promiscuity’ has been overestimated” (p.82). “Almost half of the white homosexual males…said that they had had at least 500 different sexual partners during the course of their homosexual careers,” (p. 85).

A few years later, Pollak (1985) described sexual behavior among gays as “an average several dozen partners a year” and “some hundreds in a lifetime” with “tremendous promiscuity” (p.44). He said:

The homosexual pick-up system is the product of a search for efficiency and economy in attaining the maximization of “yield” (in numbers of partners and orgasms) and the minimization of “cost” (waste of time and risk of one’s advances being rejected). Certain places are known for a particular clientele and immediate consummation: such as “leather” bars, which often have a back room specially reserved for the purpose, saunas and public parks. (p. 44)

William Aaron’s autobiographical book Straight draws similar conclusions:

In the gay life, fidelity is almost impossible. Since part of the compulsion of homosexuality seems to be a need on the part of the homophile to “absorb” masculinity from his sexual partners, he must be constantly on the lookout for [new partners]. Constantly the most successful homophile “marriages” are those where there is an agreement between the two to have affairs on the side while maintaining the semblance of permanence in their living arrangement. [p. 208]

He concludes:

Gay life is most typical and works best when sexual contacts are impersonal and even anonymous. As a group the homosexuals I have known seem far more preoccupied with sex than heterosexuals are, and far more likely to think of a good sex life as many partners under many exciting circumstances. [p.209]

Emphasis on Sexuality

One writer – who, it should be mentioned, strongly sympathizes with the gay community about the stresses of social discrimination – observes conditions among gay men as follows:

It must be remembered that in the gay world the only real criterion of value is physical attractiveness…The young homosexual will find that his homosexual brothers usually only care for him as a sexual object. Although they may invite him out to dinner and give him a place to stay, when they have satisfied their sexual interest in him, they will likely forget about his existence and his own personal needs….Since the sole criterion of value in the homosexual world is physical attractiveness, being young and handsome in gay life is like being a millionaire in a community where wealth is the only criterion of value. [Hoffman 1968, pp. 58, 153, 155]

Under commie care, insurance companies now routinely charge more for smokers and overweight folks.

Yet, in spite of the risks, no such charge for gays. They should be given notice of increased premium with their marriage certificate.
