BOSTON - Gay and bisexual men in Massachusetts continue to be the hardest hit by the AIDS epidemic with a significant percentage of new cases appearing among minority men.

That’s according to a new report by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health that found while the state has had success battling the disease among injection drug users and heterosexual men and women, it has had less success among gay and bisexual men.

More than half of HIV infections between 2004 and 2006 were among gay and bisexual men even though they make up less than 10 percent of the population.

Indeed. Always victims, never perpetrators.

There is a reason for this.

We’ve been hearing about condoms and “safe sex” for over 20 years now. Has that message not penetrated critical masses in the homosexual community? I’ve heard of “gay” bars which have bowls of condoms sitting on the counters. Are they just there for decoration?

It would be more correct to say that "more than half of HIV infections between 2004 and 2006 were among openly gay and bisexual men. . ." as many of the other men probably got AIDS from a homosexual encounter as well but they'll go to their graves never admitting as much.

I'm waiting for the news that the newest AIDS victims will die faster than previously anticipated due to a dire strain of unexplained origin.

It's a plague, it will accelerate, and there will be no cure for it, because the purpose of the plague was to stop the promiscuity. That has not happened.

However, if Emperor Obama says for the public good HIV/AIDS patients have to be quarantined, he wouldn't get a peep of objection. Watch, they will be the first to be herded in the "relief" chambers, like sheep. Universal health care will not be able to afford to indulge people who are or will be fatally ill.

They will push euthanasia in Congress and these people will be the first to get the needle. Prisoners will be next, since the jails are overcrowded and the health care system is overwhelmed. Since death is a foregone conclusion for the elderly, they will be next. Healthy or not, everybody dies at 70, it'll save on health care and Social Security. The handicapped and wheelchair-bound people? The depressed? What use are they? Off the SSI disability-teat and onto that bed! They'll go too.

The Dems are really good at turning on those who vote them in. This is what happens when a group of people think they have the power to decide who lives and who dies.

ROFL...

I shocked - SHOCKED - that $18 billion in pamphlets, limp-wristed "education," and rainbow-colored condoms haven't slowed down this "epidemic."

"In writing "more than half", the author of the article is being intentionally vague in an attempt to have readers believe that it's just more than half. ...and that the other 40%+ are heteros. "

Nice catch. Typical statistical shell-game BSing by the lib/gay Ministry of Propaganda.

Btw, the G-Men appear un-stoppable and totally in-synch. EXCEPT by injury OR stupidity (Plax.) Washington was easily manhandled (appropriate given the subject matter ;-) The Skin D dared Eli to beat them by stacking the box and he picked them apart.

Funny thing they decided against GRID since AIDS can be said as “Another Infected D*** Sucker”.

Isn't it amazing that we can all find the stats on AIDS, but the Boston Herald leaves them out of an article on AIDS.

Transmission Category Estimated # of AIDS Cases, in 2006

Male-to-male sexual contact 16,001

Injection drug use 4,410

Male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use 1,803

High-risk heterosexual contact* 4,558

Other** 217

IS THE TRUTH TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR? I mean the libs demanded the truth about WMD, didn't they?

Young heterosexual couples tend to visit the gay bars and grab handfuls of them for contraception. At least they do get used.

Way less than 10% of the population, since homosexuals both male and female are at most 2%.

"What should we do, infect a bunch of heterosexual, morally upright people to make it more fair?"

For pete's sake this is Massachusetts; don't give them any ideas, please.
