New H.I.V. Cases Drop, but Rise in Young Gay Men
New York Times ^ | January 2, 2008 | Sarah Kershaw

Posted on 01/01/2008 6:27:55 PM PST by reaganaut1

...

The number of new H.I.V. infections in men under 30 who have sex with men has increased sharply in New York City in the last five years, particularly among blacks and Hispanics, even as AIDS deaths and overall H.I.V. infection rates in the city have steadily declined.

New figures from the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene show that the annual number of new infections among black and Hispanic men who have sex with men rose 34 percent between 2001 and 2006, and rose for all men under 30 who have sex with men by 32 percent.

At a time when the number of new cases among older gay men is dropping — by 22 percent in New York City during the same period — AIDS experts are bearing down on what they say is a worrisome and perplexing growth of H.I.V. infection among young men like Mr. Arriola.

So far, they say, the significant factors feeding the trend appear to be higher rates of drug use among younger men, which can fuel dangerous sex practices, optimism among them that AIDS can be readily treated, and a growing stigma about H.I.V. among gays that keeps some men from revealing that they are infected. There has also been a substantial increase in the number of new infection cases among young white men who have sex with men, but still that group had fewer new cases in 2006: 100, compared with 228 among blacks and 165 among Hispanics.

The rising rates for young men in New York City come as federal health officials acknowledge that infection rates nationwide, while flat, may be substantially higher than previously thought because of underreporting.

The funny thing about your post...

well, a lot of funny things about your post.

It’s very much a “duh” that gay men continue to see an increase in HIV infections, despite the denials of the gay worshipping leftist PC crowd.

The ironic thing is that Jim Nabors came out as gay a long time ago... right or not? Couldn’t find a quick confirmation on that on google search.

Ok. After 30 years of this homo scam doesn’t anyone get it?
A 9 kilobase ubiquitous, harmless retrovirus does NOT cause 27 different major diseases, does NOT cause a person’s immune system to fail, and does NOT cause AIDs. But you must continue to wallow in this ridiculous, so be it. Absolute nonsense. Go Magic go. And by the way, he isn’t on some HIV “cocktail” (which is worthless and deadly in and of itself.)

Not possible. The media told us that AIDS wasn't a "gay" disease. And they're never wrong.

Is a /sarc tag really necessary?

How about all those public school recruiting programs? Or increased efforts to prevent reporting of sexual predators who prey on children?

Nobody mentions the homosexual oriented highschool in NYC.

I'm waiting for you to set it up. You can't have a debate on a site that can't control who posts on a thread.

Make it by email if you need to.

JS, I already told you that if you are that afraid of FReepers, we can conduct the entire debate from start to finish off line, and then post it in it’s entirety all at once on FR. It doesn’t get any more fair than that. Then we could have either you, or Allmendream, or Ichy, or whoever the debator is on your side, join my scientist to field questions, ask questions of each other, etc. And yet you are still running. What gives???

I asked you to ping me when you have a venue. Having it copied to FR after it is completed is fine. But I will not participate in free-for-all.

I have already said this several times.

"Ever notice that all homo’s are liberal."

Don't believe it! One of my best clients is a 56 year old gay realestate developer that is a rabid conservative republican. It's the urban population that is liberal.

This coming from someone who admits in public that he enjoys having warm fluids injected into his rectum?

So are you up for said debate then? We can hold it off line, format it, post it in its entirety on FR, and then go straight to questions. If you don’t wish to participate in the question and answer period, you are free to demure.
