Health officials have worried for years about the high rate of HIV among African Americans. Now the federal Centers for Disease Control is examining how one group, known as men on the "down low," could be spreading the disease among black women.

On an individual level, a North Korean has the same aspirations as an American. Family, peace, security and prosperity. Yet if given the order to fire a nuke at the US he would gladly comply with the order. Many gay people know that they are responsible for starting HIV epidemic in this country. Instead of owning up to the responisbility they would not hesitate to support the gay agenda that would spread the STD even more. Don't be naive. In the post 9/11 era such attitudes will get Americans killed.
LOL! Watch those buns . . . esp in CT!
I agree, keep it hidden (like guys with big tummies) and it doesn't bother me. Bring it out and watch out! (and that's a really unfortunate pun.)
AIDS is not a punishment from God. If it were, children would not be born with AIDS and EMS would not be able to catch it from an infected person.
That said,it can be prevented with common sense.
FWIW, Andrew Sullivan and Larry Kramer are examples of two men who are HIV positive and knowingly had sex with others without using condoms.
If they don't care, why should anybody else? They are supposed leaders of the homosexual culture and they attempted murder on their own. Sickening.
*cough Eminem cough*
Your generalizations are egregious. Have you never met a in your life? You cannot generalize about any group of people in that way.
Some behave miserably and some do not.
And we all know everything we read on the Net is true . . .
Each is an individual choice.
Race, height, gender, hair color -- these are not individual choices. To prejudice law or regulation or legal favor on the basis of those things is to be avoided.
The community learned rather quickly what was causing AIDS and modified behaviors. The rate of infection dropped among men for quite a while. Rates in minority groups were going up, meanwhile. Seems like the latest generation of men who chose a libertine lifestyle (this is not all of them) have not learned the lessons of their elders.
They now blame meth just like they blamed coke in the 80s.
It's never the unprotected anal sex, but rather the drug use.
Should be a crime, and actually is treated as such in many places. This is an instance where someone's private actions interfere with someone else. Not ALL gay men behave that way.
Some of these guys think if they are the one sticking it in they are not gay.
No, it is very fair to paint with a broad brush.
It is only when they get stigmatized with the typical behavior of their particular identity group will they decide to force changes from within their group.
Same with Muslim. Stigmatize enough of them as murdering terrorists, and pretty soon they'll start chasing out the murderers and terrorists they know are in their group.
Eminem certainly raps like a b-tch, doesn't he?
Word.
He also looks like one. I never cared for him.
Any man who marries someone who looks like a mirror-image of himself has some serious mental problems.
Em and Kim come to mind, as to Chelsea Clinton and Ian.
But this is another topic.....
"AIDS is not a punishment from God. If it were, children would not be born with AIDS and EMS would not be able to catch it from an infected person."
Yes, AIDS is God's wrath. He didn't supply all the children on earth with life rafts during the Great Flood either.
"If one must blame a politician, blame Henry Waxman. He blocked the closing of the bath houses (CA) when public health officials recommended doing so. (The epidemiology of the spread was known before the agent was.)"
So did Silverman a good old old boy from Kansas. Went from Wichita Kansas to SanFrancisco. Read the Band Played On by Randy Shilts (dead from AIDS). In charge of public health Silverman was. His only passion was collecting gum ball machines public health was way down on the list. It is all on the internet Silverman is the key word.

AIDS is the only diease that has rights under the constition. Pick and amendement.
Anyway, I was able to convince (with facts, not emotion) that it's not AIDS that kills you, but the subsequent infections that do. Most of the people in the room thought that it was AIDS that killed you. Silly uninformed )(until now) people.....
No doubt. Actually kind of sad. I'd rather see them be gay than do this and take it home to innocent women.
