HIV rate rises 8 percent among gay, bisexual men
Washington Times ^ | 11.18.05 | Joyce Howard Price

Posted on 11/18/2005 10:56:00 PM PST by Coleus

HIV infections among homosexual and bisexual men in the United States rose 8 percent last year, after remaining relatively stable the three previous years, new federal data show.

The increase for the virus that causes AIDS compares with average annual declines of 4 percent among heterosexuals and 9 percent among intravenous-drug users from 2001 to 2004, according to a report in this week's issue of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report.

The CDC said the recent increase in diagnosed HIV infections among men who have sex with other men "may reflect increases in HIV incidence, consistent with reported increases in risk behaviors and syphilis, but it may also reflect an increase in HIV testing."

"We don't know for certain, but we're concerned. That 8 percent increase [between 2003 and 2004] was consistent across all race groups," Dr. Ron Valdiserri, acting director of the CDC's National Center for HIV, STD and TB Prevention, said yesterday.

"By transmission category, men who have sex with men continued to account for the largest number of [HIV] diagnoses overall" between 2001 and 2004, comprising 44 percent of the total caseload and 61 percent of male infections, according to the report, which tracked trends in HIV/AIDS diagnoses in 33 states.

Of the 157,252 persons diagnosed with the virus in that period, 112,106 were men and 45,146 were women. More than 68,400 men acknowledged having had sex with other men.

"For the first time ever, this national total includes data from New York State, thus providing a more representative picture of the U.S. epidemic," according to the report. It pointed out that New York's HIV cases "account for over 20 percent of all new diagnoses reported during 2001 to 2004."

"Nature policing itself"

Yep, AIDS is culling the gay crop.

Since they can't reproduce themselves in the natural way they have to go out and recruit children in public schools through 'sex education', publishing homosexual books for kids and by propagating "Gay-Straight Alliances" in public schools.

What is needed to counter this brainwashing system in gay-sex 'education' classes is to inform the kids that gueers are dropping like flies with AIDS and suffer a phenominally high rate of suicides, alcoholism and 'partner abuse', (facts the homosexual agenda hide from the public like cockroaches hiding from the light).

It's time for the FEDS to come up with something new, something fresh. Maybe a virus that targets liberals this time. They could put it in tofu, sushi, and things of the like. Write your Congressman. ;o)

Does that mean it's no longer Reagan's fault?

It's just so confusing some times!

From the last two paragraphs:
It concludes that the inclusion of the New York data "greatly strengthens the analysis of the magnitude and direction of trends in HIV diagnoses" in the country today.

"However, a number of high-morbidity areas that lack long-standing confidential, name-based HIV reporting, including California and Illinois, are still not included," but should be, the study said.

I was unaware Illinois was a state with a high infection rate - apparently right up there with California and New York. So one can infer the numbers are worse than reported...

And still there are many that encourage and applaud this behavior.

According to the I Do Exist video, same-sex attractions and the feelings homosexuals have towards their same sex is not a choice, but acting on that behavior is. Checkout the I Do Exist video for the story of 5 homosexuals who left the lifestyle.

Also, checkout People Can Change.

There's also Straight Talk Radio

From the story:
“By transmission category, men who have sex with men...”

What is needed to counter this brainwashing system...

We need to define sex in terms of biology. Men cannot have sex with men, it is anatomically impossible. In mammals, sex only occurs with coitus between a male and female... the brainwashing is the perversion of language and those who accept the false premise to begin with...

Good post. Lest we forget...it's all about form and function. Anything outside of this should be considered a very destructive disorder.

Don't we all know that AIDS wouldn't be so rampant,
+If only they weren't discriminated against.
+If only they could marry.
+If only education programs were more widespread to allow acceptance of their orientation.
+If only more people considered their behaviour normal.
+If only more condoms were given out in grade schools and high schools.

>> 112,106 were men and 45,146 were women. More than 68,400 men acknowledged having had sex with other men.<<

If my math is right, that's just about 64%.

64% of these AIDS cases came from homosexual men, statistically speaking. Since gay men comprise less than 2% of the population, those are some serious numbers. That's quite the "market saturation", to use business terms.

Yet the MSM will be silent, publik skool curriculum won't reflect these facts, and there will be no "Very Special Episode" of Will & Grace to highlight this information. Instead, the unassuming public will continue to be spoon-fed lies and deliberate mis-information.

20+ years and STILL waiting for that "explosion" of Heterosexual AIDS.

As Sam Kinison used to say " it's not our dance man".
