The disconnect between actions and consequences never ceases to amaze me.

This is also a leading indicator that condoms are not being used.

I'd say it's more of a lagging indicator.

This is the reason for higher HIV infection in Africa: the higher rates of STDs creating open sores where the HIV virus can enter.

This is also a leading indicator that condoms are not being used.

You should SECEDE from the wackos. Washington State has a similar problem with most of the state absolutely DISGUSTED with King, Snohomish and Pierce Counties.

Tertiary syphillis.

You can get diseases from having sex with multiple partners?

Who knew?

Its San Francisco - duh!

Yep! and Pelosi is a Freebie!! With that Plastic Surgery Debacle She has for a Face, she has to give it away Free! Maybe, thats why, she caught it before and is one of the Carriers?

> One possible explanation, Philip suggested, is that people who are already infected with HIV are having sex with others who are HIV positive.

****

No sh*t! How did you ome up with that conclusion?

Inspiration from the new administration? mmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmmmm!

Some researchers believe Hitler had Syphilis of the brain in is latter years...

Humorous thought...

Syphilis has several stages - Primary - Secondary and Tertiary ... and seems to go dormant in-between...

Ignoring the Primary and Secondary stages - which is fairly easy to do since the signs and symptoms in the first two stages are not dramatically noticeable - one can go through life and not figure it out... But the Tertiary Stage will ‘get ‘ya.’

Many famous people of the 1600 - 1700 and 1800s lived and died with Syphilis infecting their hearts and brains...

Not Tigers fault.

I heard he was changing his name to Cheetah.

Google what tertiary syphilis did to Scarface Al Capone.

The Feds released him from Alcatraz early because he was already too mentally incapacitated from syphilis to be a threat to society any more.

Capone spent his final days at his estate fishing in his swimming pool.

"New syphilis cases rose 55.8 percent in 2008 over the previous year, San Francisco public health officials reported. "

I've never been to San Francisco, or even California for that matter, but from all I read it must be a real $h!+hole.

Just sayin...

This story is so gay.

Those damn white heteros!

San Francisco health officials reported an alarming increase in new syphilis cases last year after years of declines.

Carrier.

"The vast majority of early syphilis cases - about 97 percent - occurred in men, and more than 90 percent involved men who had sex with men, according to the Health Department. More than 70 percent of cases occurred among men who are HIV positive."

That says it all.

From the article:

“We don’t have a single explanation to tie it to”

and later in the same article:

“The vast majority of early syphilis cases - about 97 percent - occurred in men, and more than 90 percent involved men who had sex with men, according to the Health Department.”

Let’s see. Through the use of deductive reasoning with the evidence provided the most obvious conclusion would be -— oh wait it’s not something scientifically evident as global warming.

Syphilis spikes in San Franscisco

lol, good a place as any.

... the city has stepped up efforts to promote syphilis awareness among the public and health providers, particularly dentists and hygienists. This includes the Healthy Penis campaign, complete with appearances this year of the 6-foot-tall costumed penis at fairs, parades and public events and his buddy, Phil the Syphilis Sore.

.....Syphilis - if left untreated can and will cause cardiac and brain infections........

Interesting fact. I thought folks lived there because they had brain infections already

I’d like to see some of the idiots who run SF define “unsafe.”

Is San Fran f***ing themselves to death....?

Can they infect the oceans?

Arnold Schwarzenegger unveils dramatic climate change map which shows flooded San Francisco

While I appreciate your sentiment, I am so sick of this state(California) being painted as being totally leftist. “Flyover Country” starts about 30 miles inland from the coast. The state, like the country as a whole is swayed left by the large concentrated urban areas.
We can’t be all that bad, after all you’re endorsing a Californian in your tag line and you’re on a web forum that was originated by a Californian in... you guessed it
California.

Goin Green... Ooze.

Really?

An STD outbreak in San Fran.

So...unexpected.

But last year's rise would seem to indicate an increase in unsafe sexual practices, which could lead to a rise in HIV infection rates.

The vast majority of early syphilis cases - about 97 percent - occurred in men, and more than 90 percent involved men who had sex with men, according to the Health Department. More than 70 percent of cases occurred among men who are HIV positive.

SF had a hell of a time closing down the gay bathhouses in the early 1980s, though at the time an HIV infection was likely to be fatal. Today's gays aren't going to let a little thing like syphilis get in their way.

These are Nancy Pelosi’s people. She marches in their parades and supports them. Check out the “folsom Street Fair”. The depravity is astonishing and disgusting.

Not Tigers fault. It is the fault of to much CO2!!!!!!!

What? They seem surprised?

When will we fence the California cooties in?

Form what little I know about syphilis, as it is in it’s final stages ,(usually in an older person who has left it untreated) the disease effects the mind, causing insanity.

Has anyone checked out Nancy? The Queen of San Francisco?

All of them that You named celebrating The FIRST HOMOSEXUAL PRESIDENT with Wild, Unprotected SEX!!

Are they doing all of that stuff in those public sex tents Frisco wants to put up?

“The packers have always been a public health hazard.”
Spoken like a Vikings fan. ;>D

But last year's rise would seem to indicate an increase in unsafe sexual practices, which could lead to a rise in HIV infection rates.

Note the qualifiers "would seem" and "could lead", as if there is some great mystery to be investigated. Unsafe sex practices in San Fransicko? How Unexpected!

Before you know it there will be a story about how it "would seem" that wild spending "could lead" to increased deficits. How 'Weekly World News'!

New HIV drugs are keeping the perverts alive longer to spread more diseases.

And now Obama is letting people with AIDS immigrate here too, which will really drive up the number of sexually transmitted diseases.

No.

Tigers Fault.

The title says it all Syphillis Spikes.

Why is this alarming? This is what they’re telling people to do!

Proud...to be infected with STDs.

A rise in syphilis cases is an indicator of a rise in all other sexually transmitted diseases - herpes, gonorrhea, Chlamydia and HIV/AIDS... Syphilis - if left untreated can and will cause cardiac and brain infections...

Looks like the fine folks of San Francisco are making a bright future for themselves...
