The same is true here in the U.S. I looked up the CDC statistics a couple years back after reading a story about gay men wanting the blood donation ban against them dropped. It was staggering the difference between gay men and other groups in terms of the rates of infection for both HIV and syphilis.

No less than two-thirds or so of all new HIV and syphilis cases each year are gay and bi men. Adjusted by percentage of population (i.e. taking into account that 2-3% of the population accounts for 2/3’s of the new infections) the risk is exponentially greater.

I’ve also read that among many young gay males, there is no longer a fear of HIV/AIDS. There was an article about it on FR a few years back. The general attitude being “oh, well, if I get HIV I can just go on the AIDS cocktail.”

I truly do not understand that sort of mentality. HIV can still kill, and syphilis is no picnic.

Microbes are homophobes!

So is Mother Nature, science, reason, the entire field of statistics, common sense, and the CDC and FDA.

Isolating or eradicating the vector would have gone a long way towards making HIV/AIDS a rare disorder.

That’s what Cuba did.

But they aren’t as homosexually tolerant as ourselves.

“stopping the spread of the highly contagious disease by distributing more condoms.”

Would probably work better if they were instructed on how to use them. Filling them with water and having fights with them will probably not reduce the infection rate although it may clean up the unwashed masses of gays.

***Distributing condoms ain’t gonna help. ***

I’ve read that the HIV virus is so small it will pass right through the latex molecules in a condom.

"a few gay men"

It was known in the early '80s that AIDs was basically a male homosexual disease that could be halted by the use of condoms and stopping of unprotected, rampant sex. The news was greeted with scorn and derision by homosexual activists who demanded a cure for their disease and refused to accept the common sense prescription that would have drastically halted the spread of the disease.

I'm not so upset about the homos who dared death and lost. I'm more upset about the thousands of innocent people who were killed by these sexual lunatics through tainted blood transfusions and sometimes outright homicide. That's why among our nation's enemies, I regard homosexual activists as being near the top.

Easily solved. Stop putting your peckers in the sewage pipe.

Feel sorry for the wives of bi-sexuals who get AIDS from their Fudge packed husband.

Those people too. Of course, while Big Lib Media tallied up the amount of homos killed by the disease, they rarely mentioned all the innocent non-homos who lost their lives due to the homos’ reckless behavior. And then the homos had the nerve to blame Reagan for the deaths caused by their own actions. I thoroughly despise these people.

Homos are reservoirs of sexually transmitted diseases: gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, HPV, chancroid, hepatitis B and C, and... drum roll... Acquired (or Human) Immunodeficiency Virus.

Let’s think about those words. Acquired Immunodeficiency. This means the immune system has been made deficient by repeated illnesses acquired by the human host. It is now vulnerable to a fatal infection that finishes off the immune system by destroying the white (RACIST!) blood cells that normally protect the body against infection.

In simple terms, the fudge packers have destroyed their own immune systems because of their deviant sexual practices that cause them to contract multiple illnesses. I feel no pity for them - they did this to themselves of their own free will. They have been warned for years that the result of these sexual practices would be death and yet they persist. It is not normal behavior for humans - or animals - to continue to engage in activities that they know will kill them. They have a very real death wish and they want us to accept that and consider it normal and find a cure for their viral illnesses so that they can continue to engage in their perversions. That’s pretty messed up, eh?
