Baltimore (AP) - The Maryland Department of Health says results from a federally funded study underscore the need for targeted HIV prevention programs, especially for gay black men in Baltimore.
The research was a risk-behavior study of Baltimore-area men who have sex with men.
The study reveals that one-third the participants are infected with the disease. But half of the African American study participants are HIV positive.
The study was conducted by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health between June 2004 and April.
An official with the health department says early results from the study have resulted in programs to combat high-risk behavior.
The Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Central Maryland is establishing a counseling group to help gay men deal with homophobia and adopt practices that reduce the risk of HIV.
I'm stuned.
"The Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Central Maryland is establishing a counseling group to help gay men deal with homophobia"
Yeah... cuz homophobia causes AIDS... what a bunch of predictable morons!
Huh... Imagine that...
LOL.
"The study reveals that one-third the participants are infected with the disease. But half of the African American study participants are HIV positive."
Does this mean that 33% of gay men in baltimore have AIDS, or was the study done only of a specific group that already suspected they had the disease.
Thank goodness we have government funded studies to tell us things we already know. I wonder how much I spent on this one.
Is God profiling black men or are they putting themselves at risk .
If this were traffic tickets they would be claiming discrimination.
Same reason for both. They place themselves at risk for Aids and they break more traffic laws.
The truth hurts.
>> I'm stuned.
You find that shocking. How about this one: "Study finds Pope to be Catholic!"
And history continues to repeat itself
You know, if certain individuals would just sit down and keep their mouths shut, this thing could be nipped in the bud.
One day? This was breaking news in 1981.
Un-John-F'n-Kerry-Believable. Federal tax dollars to study this. A simple phone call to my queer brother-in-law could have cleared this up for less money.
I'm glad we cleared that up, too. Where would we be without federally-funded studies ... wallowing in unutterable ignorance.
I am curious as to how much money went into this study.
And bears poo in the woods!!!!
That may be in dispute. Christiane Amanpour announced on CNN that John Paul II was the first "non-Catholic" pope to be elected in 455 years.
Nothing to be alarmed about. This is perfectly normal results for a perfectly normal behavior.
I am too, but leave it to the MSM to figure out how to leave out the one piece of news in this news story.
