With a top national ranking it could surely do without, San Francisco has surpassed Detroit as the city with the highest per-capita rate of syphilis in the United States.
Driven by an increase in new cases among gay white men, the nation's syphilis rate rose 9.1 percent in 2002, the second consecutive increase after a decade of decline that had raised hopes the sexually transmitted disease could be eliminated in the country.

Indeed, the latest tracking data suggest the rate may now be in decline. Maybe that's because they are dying off like flys?

I wonder why...
It's not just the homosexuals too... A lot of the men and women there are really "liberal" (Pun intended) about their sexual mores.

Thank you, there are some very intersting articles there, especially the one about why we don' wet try and prevent homosexuality as we we do smoking and alcoholism, given that it is a more damaging to the healt of the participant than both.
I also wonder why we now have programs to clinically treat "sex addition" - but only for hetrosexuals....
Go figure.
