ONE in TEN?
Are you serious?
I know you are, but
damn, that is beyond scarey.
1 in 10 HIV positive.
Holy sh!t.
That's epidemic, isn't it?
From a public health point of view, high rates of meth use among gay and bisexual men can create health complications that are fourfold. First, gay and bisexual men are already at high risk for HIV infection, due to high HIV/AIDS rates among men who have sex with other men (MSMs). Meth unfortunately has infiltrated a community already overwhelmed with this epidemic. In San Diego County the HIV/AIDS epidemic is particularly brutal. While MSMs make up 45 percent of all cumulative AIDS cases in the U.S. since 1981, they comprise 75 percent of all cumulative AIDS cases in San Diego County.
