A new report on sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States shows that the number of cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis all increased in 2014, and some of the most prominent increases occurred among blacks, American Indians, and homosexuals.
The report, Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2014, documents that last year there were 1,441,789 cases of chlamydia infection reported to the CDC. That translates into 456.1 cases per 100,000 population, which is an increase in the infection rate of 2.8% over the rate in 2013.
Further, the CDC reported that in 2014, “the chlamydia rate in blacks was 6 times the rate in whites, and the rate among American Indians/Alaska Natives was almost 4 times the rate among whites.”
For gonorrhea infection, a total of 350,062 cases were reported in 2014, an infection rate increase from 105.3 per 100,000 population in 2013 to 110.7 cases per 100,000 population last year.
The increase in gonorrhea infection was primarily among men, said the CDC, and was “highest among blacks.”
“The rate among blacks was 10.6 times the rate among whites,” said the CDC, and for infection among American Indians/Alaska Natives, the infection rate was 4.2 times that of whites.
As for primary and secondary (P&S) syphilis, there were 19,999 cases reported in 2014. That equaled a rate of 6.3 cases per 100,000 population, “the highest rate since 1994,” said the CDC, and an increase of 15.1% over 2013.
“During 2000-2014, the rise in the P&S syphilis rate was primarily attributable to increased cases among men and, specifically, among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (collectively referred to as MSM),” reported the CDC.
In 2014, reported the health agency, “men accounted for 91% of all cases of P&S syphilis. And, of those male cases for whom sex of sex partner was known, 83% were MSM.”
83% of 91% equals 75.53%, which means that 75.53% of syphilis cases in 2014 were among homosexual men.
Further, “reported cases of P&S syphilis continued to be characterized by a high rate of HIV co-infection, particularly among MSM,” said the CDC. In fact, 51% of the homosexual men diagnosed with syphilis in 2014 were also HIV-positive.
“Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) are at increased risk for STDs … when compared to women and exclusively heterosexual men,” reported the CDC. “[I]ndividual-level risk behaviors, such as number of lifetime sex partners, rate of partner exchange and frequency of unprotected sex, may contribute to rates of STDs.”
On its website, the CDC reported, “Syphilis continues to increase among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. Recent outbreaks among MSM have been marked by high rates of HIV coinfection and high-risk sexual behaviors (such as sex without a condom, new or multiple partners, and substance abuse). Cases of ocular syphilishave also been reported among MSM. Ocular syphilis occurs when syphilis affects the eye and can lead to permanent blindness. While the health problems caused by syphilis in adults are serious, it is also known that the genital sores caused by syphilis in adults also make it easier to get and give HIV infection sexually.”
Overall, the P&S syphilis rate for blacks was 5.4 times that for whites, and for American Indian/Alaska Native women, the rate was 9-10 times the rate for whites, said the CDC. For congenital syphilis, the rate of infection among blacks was 10 times higher than in whites, said the CDC, and for Hispanics and American Indians, 3 times higher than in whites.
Obviously, the CDC is run by racists and homophobes!
STD now have civil rights and any attempt to solve this problem is racist, or “homophobic” For adults that ignore the risk, it is on their head (except for the fact taxpayers often end up paying for their risky behavior).
My concern is for those that are not aware of the dangers a night of passion can result in, and not just a baby.
There are things that can be done to lessen a person’s chances of getting a STD. It is one of things that parents should talk to their children about.
Some STD can be “cured” but others will stay with a person for life (assuming it does not killed them).
Children are engaging in sexual acts without knowing the risk. It is up to the parents to educate them.
Tallywhackers aren’t meant to go in another man’s tailpipe.
Interesting math. Considering that homos are a mere 2% of the population, that makes them 151 times more likely to get syphilis.
75.53/24.47 x 98/2 = an astronomical percentage considering the number of hetero tom cats around!
Remember, this is how they want to be recognized.
Let them rot.
Exactly. My first reaction was, “and I care why?” You reap what you sow.
I have heard of sexual encounters in which the partners name is not known, but but how I read this is that in 25% of gayses, they can FINISH an encounter without knowing sex of the other person.
Need to test Obama and Reggie.
“....considering the number of hetero tom cats around!”
Yes but the “ hetero tom cats” are worried about the normal
outcome of sex, pregnancy. Homo’s don’t use condoms because
there is no chance for reproduction. All this could justify a
natural fear of filthy disease ridden homosexuals. Not a
phobia but just plain common sense.

The latest TV ad says love has no name guess they don’t know about syphilis.
And I should care-—why?
The big question here is drug resistance.
Right now, there is already a DR strain of gonorrhea, found almost exclusively among black men. (The incidence of homosexuality in blacks is also much higher than for other racial groups.) And if the gonorrhea is untreated during its active phase (possibly due to failure of the antibiotics used against a DR strain), it tends to quiet down for decades before re-emerging with serious damage.
And then, of course, is syphilis. If a DR strain of it emerges, it will be bad. It can do horrible things to the body if left untreated.
I thought the practitioners of the sodomite lifestyle were just like everyone else. The truth is that sodomites, like ticks, are a disease vector.
The next big health threat will be centered on homosexual men - multi-drug resistant STDs.
More examples of “White Privilege”.
I think “known” in this context means “known to CDC researchers”. Even among those who are afflicted with homoerotic desires there are those who do not like to broadcast their sexual proclivities (yes, I know, given the “Gay Pride” movement that is not obvious, but it is true, nonetheless) and who thus might decline to tell even their physicians the details.
Romans 1 calls this the due penalty of their error.
The universe has rules;defying them is a bad idea.
...and then demanding they be allowed to be “blood donors”.
It is almost as if they want everyone to get what they have.
