HIV Rate Up 12 Percent Among Young Gay Men
Washington Post ^ | Friday, June 27, 2006 | David Brown

Posted on 06/27/2008 12:16:44 AM PDT by Pinkbell

The number of young homosexual men being newly diagnosed with HIV infection is rising by 12 percent a year, with the steepest upward trend in young black men, according to a new report.

The double-digit increase in young gay men is about 10 times higher than in the homosexual community overall, where the number of new infections is going up about 1.5 percent a year.

The report, released yesterday by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, appears to confirm impressions that a "second-wave" AIDS epidemic is underway in gay America.

Idiotic choices in life have consequences.

Clearly this result is due to the lack of availability of condoms.

Oh, wait...!

“”I can remember going to a funeral every four or five days. Now, if you talk to some of these young men, they say, ‘If I do get infected, I will simply take the blue pill or the pink pill, like my friend,’ “ he said. “

The recklessness of that mentality is indescribable.

No. It isn't a gay disease. It can get everybody, even my 75 year old mother. We just need more money for treatment. And the bathhouses are a protected civil right. It's Reagan's fault, he invented it.

Sound familiar?

Strange how if we follow Gods teachings in the Bible we can prevent virtually all of these horrible disease.

Celebrate Diversity!

Yeah! Bet they don't tell the kids this in school when they are telling them how "normal" homosexuality is..

Hell no! Just sodomize your way to a painful and early death, it's all good, so long as it promotes the militant gay agenda.

And they will get expensive drug treatments from public health clinics. They see people like Magic Johnson who got HIV back in the early 90’s and he’s still around. Why believe it’s a death sentence? It doesn’t appear to be.

But...

but...

I thought AIDS ( anybody remember GRID? ) was "everybody's disease..."

I want you all to consider these charts, ad ask just one simple question...

"How is any of this right, or fair?"

I said this a long time ago ( apologies for the bluntness, but it's true ):

"Don't share dirty needles
Don't have anal sex, or sex with those who do...
...and you probably won't catch AIDS."

It's a consequence of damn-fool choices, in the most part.

It doesn't even appear to be a real disease...

Kind of reminds me of the story Victor Borge used to tell about his uncle who invented the cure for which there was no disease.

I don't think thirteen year old boys KNOW they are homosexual. I think people, like Oprah, putting their stamp of approval on it gets them curious and they fall into the trap. Homosexual lifestyle is hard to climb out of. It's like giving up drugs. You have to change your whole life.

"Bush's fault"

Believe me many homosexual activists believe to their dying breaths that Republicans are responsible for the AIDs epidemic. The ironic thing is that this epidemic is virtually the only one almost strictly confined to one element of the general population. I still see and read statements by gay activists blaming Reagan for the epidemic. This was even after the early 80s when most people knew that unprotected anal intercourse practiced by male homosexuals was responsible for about 97% of the spread.

Researchers recruited “opinion leaders” in the gay communities of three cities in North Carolina. The people were trained to talk to their peers not only about ways to protect themselves from HIV but also about other issues,

such as homophobia in some black churches and racism.

See.............if we could just stop homophobia and racism,,,,,tommorrow`s headlines would read

“AIDS CURE FOUND “

Especially when you consider the taxpayer is likely footing the bill for those pills.

Instead of trying to “cure” AIDS, wouldn’t all the billions of dollare be much more wisely spent trying to find a way to speed up the virus? After all, if we could find a way to speed up the time from infection to burial to 3 months, wouldn’t AIDS just burn itself out?

Dialing Jeremiah Wright and Hussein Obama, those dastardly white folks are targeting blacks again sending AIDS into their neighborhoods.
