'New AIDS' spreadingamong homosexual men
WorldNetDaily ^ | June 2, 2005

In an eerily similar way to how HIV/AIDS was first spread, a heretofore rare sexually transmitted disease some are calling the "new AIDS" is making its way through the male homosexual community in Canada and the U.S.

According to a report in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, lymphogranuloma venereum, or LGV, has been identified in 22 homosexual and bisexual men in Canada in recent months, all of whom practice risky sexual behavior – including anal sex without a condom, ingesting the drug crystal meth anally and "fisting."

Six cases have been identified in Boston, Mass., reports the Associated Press, while the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed LGV cases in San Francisco, Atlanta, and New York City in the last few months.

LGV is spread in similar ways as is HIV/AIDS – among men who have anonymous sex in bathhouses and via near-anonymous encounters arranged through Internet chat groups, reports the Toronto Globe and Mail.

The medical report notes LGV is a bacterial infection and, unlike AIDS, is easily treatable with antibiotics. Symptoms include small painless lesions on the genitals and swollen glands.

Because LGV creates sores, carriers are more likely to spread HIV because bodily fluid is more likely to get into the bloodstream.

"This is an important public-health and clinical challenge," Thomas Wong, M.D., director of the community-acquired-infections division of the Public Health Agency of Canada said, according to the Globe and Mail.

Wong says the growth of LGV points to a "safer-sex fatigue," the popularity of party drugs that strip away inhibitions and the increasingly common practice of anonymous sex.

"LGV isn't the only sexually transmitted disease we're seeing. The number of cases of syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia are all increasing," Wong said.

A form of the STD chlamydia, LGV if left untreated, can cause swelling of the genitals and rectum, and can lead to meningitis, encephalitis and even death.

Though the disease is common in the tropics, it didn't appear in the industrialized world until 2003, when it infected a group of sex tourists in the Netherlands. LGV then spread to Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden, Britain, the United States and Canada.

One LGV patient at Boston's Fenway Community Health clinic said he probably acquired the disease while visiting Brazil.

The Canadian report noted none of the men infected with LGV in Canada had travelled abroad recently, but all had the same strain of the disease that is circulating in the Netherlands.

Those infected in Canada engaged in "Internet partnering," frequented bathhouses, or had sex at rave parties, the report stated.

''We hadn't seen an LGV case for years," Dr. Alfred DeMaria, Massachusetts director of communicable disease control, told AP. ''It's definitely a sign of unsafe sex, and that's a concern in terms of other sexually transmitted diseases and HIV. Now, I think we're at the point that people need to pay attention to it."

But, taking it anally was something that never, ever, ever crossed our minds.

That's because your butt is an OUT-ty and not a IN-ny!

Thanks, that'll soften the blow.

Keep using those and I can fit as much meth up my butt as I want. Be more like just sliding it in an oven.

They don't need the Internet, bathhouses or raves to spread themselves around. Fifteen years ago in San Francisco I heard a nice young man who looked like anyone's brother (not freaky) say exactly these words: "I love my mother very much. Last night I had anonymous unprotected anal sex in Golden Gate Park with twenty guys." I don't have to tell you how insane he was, how self-destructive.

These are the creeps that the public health dollar is diverted to. They don't want to be healthy, they want to be spiteful.

(No thanks, I don't want to be on this ping list. I reached my disgust limit years ago.)

I wonder if any mom's and dad's came up with any nasty diseases back in the 70's when key parties were popluar?

I used to smoke a lot of weed in the late 80's-early-90's and I can tell you with all honesty that I NEVER thought of putting it in my @ss.

Well the liberals are proved once again wrong. The free love movement and the make love not war movement has killed more people in the last 30 years then both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. AIDS which was spread by the free sex crowd/lets have an abortion crowd has killed millions in Africa alone. When those crazy old farts of the 50's and 60's told them to keep it in their pants they thought old dad was too conservative. There are reasons why sex should be saved for marriage and only in marriage. The religions of the last several thousand years all point to this fact.Not one major religion condones free sex. Do you thing our ancestors discovered the horrors of unwed sex at some point in their history?..

I work for a HUGE corporation that recently sent out an email company-wide about how we need to celebrate the gay-lesbian-transexual-whatever lifestyle.

F**k 'em. I take their paycheck and bust my ass for them....and make them a LOT of money.....but I will NOT be forced to "celebrate" these abominations.

99% of my coworkers, I am sure, feel the same way. In this day and age, though.....you just shut up, grin, and bear it.......or you totally ignore it (my personal choice).

In the meantime, such people we're asked to "celebrate" continue to find creative ways to kill each other via disease, etc.

Roger that!
Fagots are fagots and no amount of talent or lipstick on the pig will make them anything but a pig...

On the Corporate celebration of Gay-lesbian-transexual "lifestyle"....

I'm happily retired from a VERY large and worldwide recognized High Tech Corporation...that yearly sponsored an International "Cultural Fair" on the company property...

Many of the nations in the world - had employees for that nation set up a both and offer information, snacks, entertainment, music and performances that reflected the CULTURE of their nation...

It was a GLORIOUS celebration and lots of fun, excitment and GOOD FOOD.

A few years before I retired -- a new booth appeared --- it was the gay-lesbian-transexual booth...

I was puzzled -- I couldn't figure out what country or culture they represented --- so I call the manager in charge of the event and asked.... "What country do the fagots represent? What cultural are they celebrating?"

I asked if there was going to be any unique food, music, dance, costumes or "cultural" information that was going to be shared with the rest of us -- or were they simply advertiseing the fact they were sexual deviants?

He was a little disturbed at my question -- and wouldn't defend the decision in any way other than recognizing the "diversity" on our plant site....
This was a cheap cop out - that didn't sit will with me..
So -- I said I felt discriminated against....

I said that MY sexual preferences weren't being recognized, and that I demanded a booth of my own to "celebrate" my sexual deviancy...
I told them that I got my rocks off on bestiality -- and that I wanted a booth to introduce MY sexual partners to the plant -- I told him I had some lovely pigs, sheep and one very loving cow I wanted to "celebrate" diversity with...

At first he thought I was joking....but I assured him that if they continued to celebrate sexual deviancy at an International Cultural Fair --- they MUST grant me my own booth or I would pursue a sexual discrimination charge....

I didn't get my booth -- Imagine that....
But I did make a lot of managers very uneasy and embarrassed that they had made a horrible mistake to slide a Fagot booth into an International "Cultural" event....

My action was the subject of humorous conversation for years.... It would come up occasionally whenever one of the managers that tried to "manage" my outrage brought it up...

I made my point, kept the heat on the dumb asses to more carefully consider their actions in the future --- and was excused from ever again having to attend a "sensitivity" class that EVERYONE else had to attend..

This large Corporation simply couldn't deal with a maverick that wouldn't drink the Kool-Aid....

Semper Fi
