Good Medicine and Good Theology Point to Solution for Record STDs

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this week released its annual report on sexually transmitted disease (STD) reports for 2018, showing that STDs rose for the fifth consecutive year, reaching an all-time high. In particular, men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by the syphilis and gonorrhea epidemics. Over half of the more serious syphilis cases in 2018 were among MSM, even though they represent a tiny fraction (perhaps 4%) of the U.S. population.

Every one of the 2.4 million people diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease (STD) in 2018 is a victim of the sexual revolution. For decades, we have been told that people have a "right" to have sex, and to have it without consequences. But as FRC's David Closson reminded us on Thursday's Washington Watch radio program, "When you go outside of God's design and the boundaries that he's given us, there are going to be negative consequences." STDs are but one example.

Dr. Michelle Cretella of the American College of Pediatricians joined me on Washington Watch on Wednesday to give a medical perspective on the findings, and David, FRC's Director of Christian Ethics and Biblical Worldview, joined me Thursday to give a biblical perspective.

Good medicine?

My bet is that Tony Perkins has not read Humanae Vitae

PING!

Makes it sound like they got Polio.

THEY RAMMED EACH OTHER IN THE BUTT WITH THEIR PRIVATES AND THOUGHT THAT WAS NORMAL AND FUN!!

Probably while on one narcotic or another.

The executive summary from the report says very little about the obvious demographic causing the rise. This graph from the body of the report tells the story quite well:

MY GOD!!

This should be the HEADLINE!!!

SMH

SJW are only killing gay men by not telling the truth.

And I guess I don’t give a sh.t

Anyone here feel bad for mobsters when they go to jail or killers when they do?

I tried to a good Christian when it came to gay guys but as the chart shows they live like animals and that’s an insult to animals.

Just like HIV, this is NOT a crisis for the vast majority of Americans, despite media propaganda we are given.

Its merely a problem for a quite small group, who also have the power to fix it by simply changing their behavior

I distinctly recall being assured all they wanted was a recognition of their deep commitment to mutual monogamy.

and that’s an insult to animals”

Actually it is. The AIDS bug is a fast mutating thing that got a “look” at a gigantic number of people in an incredibly short time. Had it been dependent upon animals acting like, well, animals it’s deadly evolution would presently be nowhere near where it is now. Only humans could have gestated this ting to such deadlyness. ( And anybody who thinks science and drugs have stopped it in its drive to BE is more than just a little bit stupid.)

Yes, putting the submarine in the wrong port is fraught with peril, contrary to the protestations of the LGBT advocates.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

It’s MSM. Men are naturally promiscuous, contrary to what God wants, so that leads me to question how many gay men are actually monogamous.

As I understand it, the drugs can keep the viral count low enough to stave off AIDS. Whether that will remain true in the future is your guess and mine.

[TalBlack]

I’d guess that all those drugs are doing is giving the virus still more “looks” at different immune systems. Those drugs are why I’m guessing that the virus is going to suddenly breakout.
