Syphilis is almost exclusively transmitted via unprotected homosexual anal sex. Why are the idiots in the press lying about this non-stop?
It is almost like a conspiracy! Shall we all pretend that all are equally likely to get AIDS, syphilis, et. al?
You are an idiot - and a liar. Stop pretending that these diseases are totally divorced from behaviour.
Syphilis existed long before the current contagion of anal sex. Try not to conflate disease with sin.
