"We have to raise the possibility that this could be indicating a regurgence (sic) of HIV in that [gay male] population," Dr. Ronald Valdeserri, the CDC's deputy director of HIV prevention, said in an interview yesterday. The HIV findings come on the heels of a CDC report last week that syphilis climbed in 2002, for the second year in a row, with nearly half the new cases seen among gay men.

The CDC data cover 29 states, but do not include New York, California, Illinois and Washington, D.C., which have recently switched from monitoring only full-blown AIDS cases to include data on HIV infection. The four contain a large segment of the nation's gay and Latino population, so infection rates in gay men and Latinos might be steeper if data from the states were available, Valdiserri said.

Aw....there you go spoiling all the warm fuzzies from this article with a dose of reality. Seemingly, no-one's interested in the devastation caused by this lifestyle until it affects them personally or a loved one....then it's way too late. I wish one of these Christian groups with time and money would produce a video with interviews of dying young men and women who could tell our youth what the real truth is about the gay lifestyle. We could stop all this crap in a NY minute!
