Why Do Gay Men Get HIV? Why Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM) Have the Highest Risk of Infection
VeryWell Health ^ | July 25, 2024 | Elizabeth Boskey, PhD

Posted on 08/15/2024 7:45:19 AM PDT by fwdude

Gay men get HIV at higher rates than any other group in the United States, and there are many reasons for this. Biological factors dramatically increase a gay man's vulnerability to infection. Social, cultural, and economic factors—such as stigma, racism, homophobia, and high rates of poverty—further compound the risk.

Regardless of the causes, securing access to testing, prevention, and PrEP to lower HIV transmission in this high-risk group remains a pressing issue. There are numerous free or low-cost confidential testing and treatment sites offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services via their online testing locator.

Spot on. That's why they're an immune compromised population; one of only two in first world countries caused by behavior (the other being IV drug addicts). Being immune compromised is why they're susceptable to AIDS.

Nah, it is both an exit and an entrance.

Maybe the open ended organ into a waste cavity...

And not just the wrong-way insertion, but the rectum was cleverly designed with blood capillaries pointing downward towards the exit, protecting the waste disposer from infecting himself. When a foreign object such as another person's male part is pushed abrasively upward, it forces waste material towards the capillaries, to be absorbed by the bloodstream.

Whatever other contributing factor, it's primarily the promiscuity.

Promiscuity orders of magnitude beyond almost any straight person is usual in the sodomite community.

Duh! Anal sex causes trauma, and feces don’t belong in the urinary tract, both of which cause immune system damage.

This has been known since at least the 80’s. Anal sex opens up small fissures in the anus. HIV soaked sperm enter into those cracks. Perfect environment for incubation and spread.

OMG! Flat out admitting homosexuals are pedophiles. Nowadays, homosexuals figure pushing the ‘rights of homosexual minors’ to have sex is acceptable.

It's not just the number of sexual partners but the type of sexual behavior that is key.

Funny, because homosexual activists are always saying that normal people (hetersexual) engage in anal sex as much as homosexuals, if not more. Then, why the stark disparity in disease prevalence?

“promiscuous anal sex” - why I described it as such...but yes, that is specifically why.

As for heterosexuals...I highly doubt that claim. I mean, it’s the default for gay men, only a margin of heterosexuals do - even then, there’s far less promiscuity in the hetero population.

So the math; “every-time*many-partners = wide spread” vs “mostly-not*few-partners = limited spread”....would result in a massive difference.

Regardless of the causes? A logically, scientifically if we know the causes then that's where most of our efforts are to be directed. Disgustingly and sickeningly most of the governments efforts regarding AIDS have been realistically encouraging the behavior responsible for the disease. With a promise that the government will find a cure for you so just keep doing what you're doing .

Here is what I think is a fairly good analogy, suppose the government simply told all the victims of emphysema and lung cancer due to smoking, don't worry about changing your behavior we'll just keep working to find a cure for the effects of your behavior while at the same time we blame other people for your problem.

My stepfather (deceased) went to med school in the 1940’s; he kept his textbooks and his psychiatry textbook plainly stated that homosexuals had shorter lifespans than heterosexuals.

The deadly nature of this “lifestyle” was known a long time ago.

In case we thought that academic credentials meant something, Liz is here to remind us that plenty of aberrant crackpots manage to get a diploma.

‘Intergenerational sex partnerships’ is akin to using MAP to replace the word pedophile. So, this author is flat out admitting homosexuals are pedophiles. Author also says 1 out of 6 homosexuals will get HIV (I’m pretty sure PrEP doesn’t prevent the passage of HIV virus). HIV infection causes the infected to prematurely age 14 years. This means HIV infected will die at least 14 years early. To read more articles on this, check FR keyword hivacceleratedaging.
