Although homosexual men are a tiny sliver of the U.S. population, they account for the majority of all Americans living with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced.
Men who have sex with men (MSM) are two percent of the population but make up 55 percent of people who were HIV-positive in 2013, according to a CDC fact sheet released last Wednesday.
More than nine out of 10 new HIV diagnoses (92 percent) come from young gay and bisexual MSM, ages 13 to 24.
If these trends continue, one of every six men who has sex with men will be diagnosed with AIDS in his lifetime. Already, 15 percent of all HIV-positive homosexuals and bisexuals don’t know they are infected, the government agency said.
“Gay and bisexual men are also at increased risk for other STDs, like syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia,” the CDC added.
The CDC reported that men who have sex with men are 44-times more likely to contract HIV than heterosexual males, and 40-times more likely than women. Earlier this year, the CDC estimated that half of all black MSM will get the disease, a statistic that is repeated in the latest fact sheet.

duh.
It’s an EXIT.
But but but, Ryan White!
Aids is not a “gay” disease.
Just as mass murder by muslims yelling “allahu akbar” is not muslim terrorism.
The AIDS disease is homophobic.
They should take it to court!
Weird. The headline doesn’t match the article. It says AIDS when it means HIV
The reason nothing is done about it and that you don’t hear about it is ......
The PLAGUE of Political Correctness.
The Media is the evil in this world and PC is one of their best weapons.
This is WAR. FIGHT BACK!
Hardly breaking news.....
They did better than that.
AIDS is the first disease to have Civil Rights.
...Gay men are 2% of population but 55% of AIDS cases: CDC....
Maybe that should be on a commemorative bronze plaque on the front door of
our newest National Monument, Stonewall, the gay bar.
The Other 45% are drug addicts or lying
The other 45 percent are lying.
And we’re supposed to accept these three dollar bills with open arms. Someone in DC better go to hell.
According to the Gaystapo, gay men are 120% of the male population — they just won’t “admit” it.
This is homophobic! We must have more straight men with AIDS.
2% of men, but 75% of influence in Hollywood, pop culture in general, advertising, education, social narrative. Go figure.
they’re not 2% of the population
try half a percent
I think that number is low. Even so, it leaves out the detail that the other 45% are IV drug users and Inner city urban ghetto dwellers.
*NORMAL* people do not have to worry about AIDS. (Except when the authorities let sick faggots taint the blood supply.)
HIV is bigoted. just like Democrats.
