Washington, December 1 : Amid reports of a higher likelihood of AIDS affliction among homosexual men in developing countries, the Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) has called on policymakers to put aside their prejudices and to provide the resources and the leadership required to deal with the disease.

The organisation has been moved by a new study at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health, suggesting that homosexual men have an average of 19 times greater chance of being infected with HIV than the general population in 38 low and middle-income countries.

Published in the open-access journal PLoS Medicine, the study also suggests that this risk is 100 times higher in some countries.

Go figure.

BTW today is World Aids Day and the CNN aka Clinton News Network is plastering kids as the big sufferers of the dreaded AIDS epidemic.

They do not want a solution that deals with the disease, because the solution is as obvious as the nose on their faces. They want money, power, and influence, and they want to try and make a perverted, sickening, and disease ridden lifestyle which is the chief means for spreading the disease to somehow be accepted, healthy, and normal...and the healthy and normal part will never happen, irrespective of the misbegotten success they have in the "accepted" areana.

They do not care about the people caught up in that life style, or helping them overcome it. They just want the aforementioned power, money, influence, and political/immoral agenda...and they are willing to push that agenda on the graves of literally tens of millions.

I’m not clear on how ‘overcoming prejudices’ can help stop the spread of AIDS. To me, if women were to develop a prejudice against bisexuals as sex partners, this would actually decrease the spread of this disease.

Why is this a surprise? The apparatus was not designed for the particular mode of usage that is being practiced here. What do they expect?

Gays in developing countries are at dramatically higher HIV risk than the developing countries’ other population groups because homosexual men in developing countries sometimes injure or tear each other’s excrementory canals during vigorous, enthusiastic, sexual congress? Or is there some other, less obvious reason?

Aids is one disease that would not have spread if people did not participate in deviant behavior.....

The exception are those who got the disease through no fault of their own....
