Read the article. The species jump happened around 1908.

it's unlikely any human would have sex with a live chimp

So, you're saying it was a dead chimp.

The Negative Health Effects of Homosexuality (Classic for Your Files) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3105393/posts?page=72

In 2011, in the United States, MSM accounted for 79% of 38,825 estimated HIV diagnoses among all males aged 13 years and older, and 78% of infections among all newly infected men. .- http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/risk/gender/msm/facts/index.html

December 2, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Preliminary results from a Spanish study of sexually-active homosexuals indicates that seventy-five percent are carrying the Human Papiloma Virus (HPV), according to a report by Europa Press. http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/75-of-sexually-active-

homosexuals-are-carrying-human-papiloma-virus-study-s A whopping 41% of people who are transgender or gender-nonconforming have attempted suicide sometime in their lives, nearly nine times the national average, according to a sweeping survey released three years ago. http://www.thetaskforce.org/reports_and_research/ntds; http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-suicide-attempts-alarming-transgender-20140127,0,3324954.story#ixzz2vRHkyu7v

“nearly three-quarters of adult lesbians overweight or obese. National Institutes of Health (NIH) ” http://cnsnews.com/news/article/feds-spend-15-million-study-why-lesbians-are-fat

In the United States AIDS is fifty times more prevalent among men who have sex with men (’MSM’) than the rest of the population [2009]. CDC; http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/aids-rate-50-times-higher-in-homosexual-men-center-for-disease-control

Nearly 50% of sexually active homosexual men infected with the virus causing AIDS are unaware that they are carriers of the deadly disease [2010]. CDC http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cdc-20-of-gay-men-have-hiv-and-half-are-unaware-of-status

The rate of new HIV diagnoses among men who have sex with men (MSM) is more than 44 times that of other men and more than 40 times that of women. CDC; http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cdc-gay-men-over-44-times-more-likely-hiv-than-hetero-men

Add to that the discounted lifetime cost of comprehensive treatment per HIV-infected person being $385,000 (undiscounted cost, $618,900). - http://cid.oxfordjournals.org/content/45/Supplement_4/S248.full

In 2012 the U.S. fertility rate was 63.0. the lowest rate on record since the since the government started tracking the fertility rate in 1909. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr62/nvsr62_09.pdf

God created man and women uniquely compatible and complimentary, and they alone are joined by God in marriage, with opposite genders being specified by both Genesis and personally by Jesus Christ. (Gn. 2:18-24; Mt. 19:4)

The Bible only condemns homosexual relations - by design and decree, in principle and by precept - and never sanctions them wherever they are manifestly dealt with, and the injunctions against them are part of the transcendent and immutable moral law. (Lv. 18:22; Rm. 1:26,27)

However, some of the first Christians were likely former homosexuals, (1Cor. 6:9-11) and there is room at the cross for all who want the Lord Jesus over sin, and believe upon Him to save them who died for them, and rose again. And who thus are baptized and follow Him, to the glory of God.

Gaëtan Dugas (French: [ɡaetɑ̃ dyˈɡa]; February 20, 1953 – March 30, 1984) was a Canadian who worked for Air Canada as a flight attendant and an early AIDS patient.[1] In March 1984, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study tracking the sexual liaisons and practices of gay, and bisexual men in California, New York, and some other states found Dugas to be the center of a network of sexual partners, which led to him being dubbed "patient zero",[2] although suspicions that he initially brought HIV to North America were disproven. He is used as an example in epidemiology of an index case. Dugas traveled the world and had many sexual liaisons with men.[3][4] At the time, gay culture was largely illegal, underground, and clandestine. Gay bars and gay bath houses were social settings for gay and closeted men to meet. The extent to which HIV/AIDS was known about in the early 1980s, how it was spread, or when Dugas was diagnosed are disputed.[3] Dugas died in Quebec City on March 30, 1984, as a result of kidney failure caused by AIDS-related infections.[5] Dugas is featured prominently in Randy Shilts's book And the Band Played On, which documents the outbreak of the AIDS pandemic in the United States. Shilts portrays Gaëtan Dugas as having almost sociopathic behavior by allegedly intentionally infecting, or at least recklessly endangering, others with the virus. Dugas is described as being a charming, handsome sexual athlete who, according to his own estimation, averaged hundreds of sex partners a year. He claimed to have had over 2,500 sexual partners across North America since becoming sexually active in 1972.[6] Genetic analysis of HIV provides some support for the Patient Zero theory. Dugas is now believed to be part of a cluster of homosexual men who traveled frequently, were extremely sexually active, and died of AIDS at a very early stage in the epidemic.[7].. A November 2007 article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences dismisses the Patient Zero hypothesis, and instead claims that HIV was transmitted from Africa to Haiti in 1966, and from Haiti to the United States in 1969.[9][10] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ga%C3%ABtan_Dugas

“A gay friend died in Baltimore in 1975/6. He suffered from IDS for about 4 years. This was 5 or more years before AIDS was officially diagnosed in this population. Since then we have suspected he was an early undiagnosed case of AIDS.”

By my time in grad school in the late 70s, we were getting reports of the rapid increase in Kaposi’s sarcoma - the gay cancer - and a large increase in immunodeficient diseases, also in the gay population. These followed the pattern of disease transmission, but also might have been caused by something in a shared lifestyle. Some were even postulating that the immunodeficiency was being caused by an autoimmune reaction to semen.

What piqued my interest was G. H. W. Bush (41) saying, "Not all Haitians coming to this country have AIDS." (Paraphrasing from memory, as the quote was heard on the radio, and I failed to find it just now with a search).

It's likely that in addition to other theories, there was a homosexual-tourism to Haiti—a short flight—where young Haitian boys were vulnerable to dollars.

San Francisco Men's Health Study, Page 62 has a graph that shows the rapid rise in HIV infections beginning in 1977, and the delay in onset of AIDS disease beginning around 1981.

Found something from PBS:

"An international war of words broke out: U.S. newspapers suggested Haitians brought the disease to America and linked HIV to Haitian voodoo rituals. Haitians said homosexual American sex tourists brought AIDS to their country. The stigma was so severe that Haitians in the U.S. couldn't get work or sell their homes..."

I finally read the NY Post article and, BTW, Mike Gottlieb didn't write a "short piece" in the CDC journal in 1981, he wrote a masterful long article in the New England Journal of Medicine December 10, 1981 which described the disease so well that if today you just arrived from another planet you could recognize an (untreated) patient on the street.

And Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote the first of his Tarzan books in 1912 -— close enough for me to worry about those nights Tarzan was away from he and Jane’s tree house. :))

How the AIDS epidemic really began

Does it REALLY matter how now?

HOW will it END???



 

Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and
their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men
from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them
."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Doonesbury Cartoon for Feb/08/2013

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.


Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.



2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.



But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
