Obama urges Americans get tested for HIV 33 mins ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) – President Barack Obama on Saturday urged his fellow Americans to get tested for HIV in an effort to reduce transmission of the virus that causes AIDS.

"On this 14th commemoration of National HIV Testing Day, I urge Americans to take control of their own health -- and protect those they love -- by getting tested for HIV and working to reduce HIV transmission," Obama said in a statement.

"While its impacts are not evenly spread -- infection rates are particularly high among gay and bisexual men, African Americans and Latinos -- when one of our fellow citizens becomes infected with HIV every nine-and-a-half minutes, the epidemic affects all Americans," he said.

I’m guessing there was no caution for people to stay out of each other’s buttholes.

No, we can’t address the underlying problems.

Funny, we can tax people for smoking cigarettes or eating trans fats but we can’t tax people for anal sex when there is so much documentation about the health risks.

Results go into a computer and you get no Obama Care.

No, I think that HIV care will get all the funding it needs in Obama Care. The GLBT constituency are solid Democrat votes. Expect any disease with a liberal constituency to get full funding on Obama Care.

“More proof,as if we needed any more, that on the ACORN run Census,,,,,

1. Actual number of persons at the residence.
2. Age of said persons.
3. Sex of said persons.

Then show them the Fourth Amendment.”

Not sure why you need steps 2 and 3. The Constitution tells us that people shall be enumerated, and that said enumeration should determine the apportionament of Congressional representation and direct taxes. That’s all. Nothing more.

Could not have said it better. Sad when anyone is terminal but most of the infected got it thru their own actions. And exactly how many completely irresponsible gays don’t tell their partner(s) they have the disease?

parsy, who thinks BO should show some spine here.

0 is being inconsistent again. Cutting off obamacare to people with AIDs and letting them die would be far more cost-effective than keeping them alive to continue spreading the disease. After all, he wants to let people with terminal cancer just die rather than receive any treatment according to statements he made last week.

King 0jellyfish doesn't have a spine. He has a neural net and it only activates when connected to an outside source of power called a Teleprompter.

I'd wager the clothes on my back that Hussein has been around the block once or twice so I,for one,would strongly encourage Michelle to get tested.

Yeah, I suppose that since the canker-sore Government is giving it all to us in the anal orifice, a checkup might seem to be in order...

But the 1600 Pennsylvania squatter can go engage himself in an intimate sexual relationship with himself...

Here's a concept for President Dipsquat to wrap his teleprompter brain around: a great many of us do not engage in the sort of easily identified and avoided self-destructive behaviors that would raise our risk of contracting that loathsome disease above 0 percent.

So, no thanks. But thanks for thinking about us. Don't be so quick to lump us with your favorite constituency groups next time.

I have never known anyone personally that has AIDS. Guess I lead a sheltered life.

Right after Uhbama does and makes it public. And, let’s not forget that birth certificate.

Isn’t this the same guy that was on a herpes web watch list?

It affects homosexuals and drug users almost exclusively.

And all the people who sleep with them, and the people who sleep with the people who sleep with them... And sadly this leads to innocent wives and girlfriends too.

What? I thought testing people for HIV was racist, or homophobic or some sort of liberal speak for horrible.
