Iran: AIDS rate doubles in the holy city of Qom
Tehran, 11 Jan. (AKI) - In the past year, the incidence of AIDS has doubled in the holy Shia city of Qom, second only to the Iraqi city of Najaf in religious significance.
"The great share of the newly infected have contracted the HIV virus, not through using infected syringes, but through unprotected sexual relations," said Amir, Akbari, director of the city's health centre.
In the past year the number of those affected by AIDS in Qom has risen from 177 to 324.
Forty per cent of those infected are students from the theological colleges in Qom. In Iran, according to official estimates, there are more than 16,000 infected with AIDS in the country, while non-government organisations put the total number above 100,000.

The defunct Soviet Union used to say the same thing.
What a laugh! In the Middle East, Persians are considered the most effeminate, dominated by their wives, & most likely to be gays. Not something that's known in the West, I think.
Hang in there, the Mullahs will soon make Iran AIDS free.
Qom has a population of a little over a million, for an AIDS rate of roughly 0.3 per 1,000.
New York City has a rate of around 12 per 1000.
If they want to catch us, they have a ways to sink yet.
“not through using infected syringes, but through unprotected sexual relations”
I didn’t think you could catch Aids from a goat.
Young students are probably buggered by their instructors. If only one instructor is infected, he is infect many students. The the students graduate, and some number become instructors themselves and repeat the process. After a couple of "generations", all the faculty would be infected
Temporary marriage is permissible for Shia Muslims. It can be for one hour or as long as 99 years. It's well documented for years that this goes on in Qom and other theological centers.
Perhaps in Iran AIDS is spread through goats and sheep.
For heaven’s sake, in that part of the world are ALL their cities the “holy city of...”?
“Bailiff whack his pee-pee”...
Cheech and Chong.
the holy shia city of qom - holy shiite!
