No surprise that AIDS is spreading so quickly.

God has a way of showing who's still in charge, doesn't he?
And if that number of partners is in the hundreds, and if those hundreds had unprotected anal sex with other hundres, there is one HELL of a problem now, isn't there?
He engaged in gay unprotected sex and drug use, and now the taxpayers get to support the LEGAL drugs he will be taking, pushed by the drug companies. The world isn't fair.

If it wasn't so expensive, and if the costs of this problem were not being off-loaded onto people who are not reckless risk takers, I'd say that there was little problem in stupid people shortening their life expectancy. But as the virus and the behavioral problem mutate (in the the days chronicled in "And The Band Played On" - promiscuity's upper bound was probably 3-4 anonymous partners a night, now with meth and Viagra it is 10-20) this is a terribly expensive problem.
If the Attorneys General of numerous states can sue tobacco companies for the healthcare costs carried by the taxpayer for smoking related deaths...
One small, but significant difference here as compared to "normal" AIDS cases, is that this case won't last too long.
Maybe this is what it takes, in the eyes of our Creator, to teach people INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBLITY. Will man EVER become responsible enough to realize he has control, and the responsiblity, for his fate?

It's Bush's fault. Come-on get on board the Dean train, Yeeeehaaaa!

I've wondered along the same lines. Gays who are infected with HIV have used the internet to join orgies with other gays and expose them to HIV also. Why hasn't the Government targeted this activity, since it occurs over "wires" and is clearly dangerous to the public health? Of course, I know why, as it is another area where the Government suddenly goes blind, like the lack of "racial profiling" at airports.
That will, at least, slow down the spread of the disease.
and ....(the person infected) may have contracted the virus in October when he engaged in unprotected anal sex with multiple partners while using crystal methamphetamine
Nope, nothing to see here. AIDS is spread by lack of funding.
At least the article mentioned how people catch it, rather than portraying AIDS as some bolt from the blue. I guess I should take my victories where I find them.
This preventable disease is like a plague. Nothing will stop it. I have now come to the conclusion that many homosexuals do not want this disease stopped.
As the scriptures say, they have been given over to depraved minds. It is very sad.
The way these guys have sex with strangers, they could still wreak much havok in 9 or ten months.
It was only a matter of time until this happened.
It's happened.
Bye-bye AIDS carriers!
I think I'd learn the art of a-sexuality --- real quick--like.
Not really.
They can all go to Boston, get married, and have free medicaid to pay for their disease.
This is, afterall, the real reason behind gay marriage.
It's fine with me if they all go to Boston. But if they have the new strain, I would advise the landlords not to expect to get paid if they sign long leases.
