WASHINGTON, November 18, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) While the rates for new cases of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, have been on the decline among heterosexuals and intravenous drug users, US health officials are expressing alarm at an eight percent increase in HIV rates in homosexual and bisexual men in one year.
Measuring the increase in prevalence of the virus from 2003 to 2004, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the 8% rise in cases among men who commit sodomy with men, was statistically significant for the 33 states that reported on HIV cases, according to the CDCs publication, Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report.
In addition, the CDC reported that the majority of HIV infections in women were a result of what the organization terms high risk sexual behaviour, which includes sex with bisexual men, while an estimated 25% of persons living with HIV does not know they are infected.
The CDC cautioned that the increasing HIV rate may be a true reflection of increases in the disease, particularly as the transmission rates are heightened by concurrent infections with sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis which is also skyrocketing among homosexual men but might also reflect increases in HIV testing among [men who have sex with men]. Statistics Canada revealed last year that the rate of syphilis among homosexual men had almost doubled between 2002 and 2003. According to the CDC, people with syphilis are two to five times more likely to transmit or contract HIV than individuals not infected with a sexually transmitted disease.
The CDC also warned that a survey of 15-29-year-old men who engaged in sodomy reported that the proportion of unrecognized HIV infection was as high as 77%.
The CDC estimated that, in the 33 US states that reported on HIV incidence, 157,252 persons were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS between 2001 and 2004, 71% of whom were male. The CDC also noted that the majority of men who contracted the disease were affected through the act of sodomy, 17% through high-risk heterosexual contact, and 16% through injection-drug use.

Ping!
Shocking!!!
In other news...
Bears Sh*t in the Woods
LIBS: "More condoms are needed...BUSH'S FAULT!"
Homosexuality Triggering HIV Escalation!!!
Gee ya think?
Easy to stop: sit down and shut up.
Duh...
LIBS: "More condoms are needed...BUSH'S FAULT!"
But homosexuality is a wonderful lifestyle choice. They even teach that in public schools, don't they?
<< "Homosexuality" Triggering HIV Escalation >>
No it's not.
Sodomy is.
For those who think homos are no different, how many of you would have sex of a certain kind knowing there is a good
chance it would kill you?? None? I rest my case.
Things that make you say DUUUHHHH.
Bet you it is the use of Meth by the Homosexual crowd. Apparently it makes you hypersexual, (allowing 10 Big O's a night) So it is turbo charging the ability to spread aids.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! WHO COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED THIS?
"The CDC also warned that a survey of 15-29-year-old men who engaged in sodomy reported that the proportion of unrecognized HIV infection was as high as 77%."
How anyone could continue being gay and promiscuous with those odds, I just cannot comprehend. I honestly do not understand the mindset. Death just doesn't "do" anything for me, sexually, and so it strikes me that these men have a subconscious desire to kill themselves.
DUH - DAMN - Those folks at the CDC are brilliant to figure that one out - I never knew fudge packers and rump riders were higher risk, never knew!!!!
You just reminded me of something.
Several years back I ordered a book called The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS or something like that.
I just realized I forgot about it and never received it. Hmm. >:-/
no, it's everyone's disease, remember?
