Observation: he was a frosted bleach-blonde in his youth so he’s not got a history of living by his roots (bada*boom*kisk).
Not all cases of AIDS waste away. At least anymore. Sometimes it’s AIDS related. As in immune system is compromised and something else attacks the body and kills them. The meds they have for AIDS only do so much.
“Hopefully he repented before death”
Don’t think that or something like it has not been on my mind. I suspect where he has ended up. Never understood what has so romantic about a sexual encounter in a nasty public toilet. We know the track record with sodomites and Christianity so I really doubt it but we may be surprised in the afterlife. Know one thing for sure, he did not die peacefully, he died too young because his past caught up with him.
Nope, just a harmless lovable fuzzball.
Mick and Keith will out live all of us
Then you are ignorant. Many heterosexuals have died of Aids. Many have died of colon cancer, which is very common. Educate yourself.
Stay on topic, please :)
We beat the Jayhawks every time that year except the one that really mattered. Broke my heart!
Sang back up, cashed his checks.
Which is neither 'peacefully' nor 'at home'. If the press release is to be believed.
The reason lesbians rarely have aids (iv drug abuse excepted) is due to anatomy of the sex act and lack of promiscuity that is prevalent amongst gay men. It is that simple.
Hep C, cirrhosis of the liver, kidney failure, cardiac disease...
severe Drug users and alcoholics usually don’t last much past 50.
Fuzzy logic. You can use the word "many" for as few as three items. As contrasted with 97%, which is also many, it's not so much. With regard to AIDS, it's around 67% gay folks. Most of the heteros who die of AIDS were either promiscuous women whose male partners had sex with gay men, or they were injection drug users, or they (rarely) got it from a hospitial or dental procedure. The figures have been inflated by world health stats because more heteros have it in Africa and the Middle East due to rape culture against women and children; but hetero AIDS cases are more rare in the U.S. than the propaganda indicates. That's no reason for heteros to be careless with unsafe sex, however.
You can't get AIDS from a toilet seat or casual contact. The virus has to enter the bloodstream, which is hard to do unless you inject something, or you force something roughly against the receiving end of blood capillaries, as in anal sex.
PREACH IT AW!!
Here I’ll back it up with facts, mind you facts we’ve known since the 1980’s. Since this man first came on the scene.

HIV Among Gay and Bisexual Men
https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/msm/index.html
* Gay and bisexual men are more severely affected by HIV than any other group in the United States.
* From 2005 to 2014, HIV diagnoses decreased in the United States by 19% overall, but increased 6% among all gay and bisexual men, driven by increases among African American and Hispanic/Latino gay and bisexual men.
* Over the past 5 years (2010-2014), the increase in HIV diagnoses among all gay and bisexual men was less than 1%, although progress has been uneven among races/ethnicities.
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with mena made up an estimated 2% of the population but 55% of people living with HIV in the United States in 2013. If current diagnosis rates continue, 1 in 6 gay and bisexual men will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime, including 1 in 2 black/African Americanb gay and bisexual men, 1 in 4 Hispanic/Latinoc gay and bisexual men, and 1 in 11 white gay and bisexual men. But these rates are not inevitable. We have more tools to prevent HIV than ever before.
The Numbers
HIV and AIDS Diagnosesd
In 2014:
* Gay and bisexual men accounted for 83% (29,418) of the estimated new HIV diagnoses among all males aged 13 and older and 67% of the total estimated new diagnoses in the United States.
* Gay and bisexual men aged 13 to 24 accounted for an estimated 92% of new HIV diagnoses among all men in their age group and 27% of new diagnoses among all gay and bisexual men.
* Gay and bisexual men accounted for an estimated 54% (11,277) of people diagnosed with AIDS. Of those men, 39% were African American, 32% were white, and 24% were Hispanic/Latino.
Although HIV diagnoses increased among gay and bisexual men overall from 2005 to 2014—and increased sharply among African American and Hispanic/Latino gay and bisexual men—diagnoses overall have stabilized in more recent years:
* From 2010 to 2014, diagnoses increased less than 1% among all gay and bisexual men overall and among African American gay and bisexual men. Diagnoses:
* Declined 6% among white gay and bisexual men.
* Increased 13% among Hispanic/Latino gay and bisexual men.
* From 2010 to 2014, among young (aged 13 to 24) gay and bisexual men, diagnoses:
* Declined 2% among young African American gay and bisexual men.
* Declined less than 1% among young white gay and bisexual men.
* Increased 16% among young Hispanic/Latino gay and bisexual men.
Smiling! Also your cymbal needs filing. Lol!!
So did you have a question or something?
Some point you'd like to make perhaps?
‘Twas only cymbalic. < ^ . ^ >
It would seem he had not repented while there was still time.

None of this did I ever dispute. I simply disputed your statement that you didn’t know of any heterosexual who had died of AIDS. Patently false. Many have. And if you will cross the ocean to the African Continent, you will find millions . . . men and women. HIV does not discriminate.
