A new literature review, published by The Lancet, emphasizes the great proportion of HIV/AIDS cases among men who have sex with men (MSM) in sub-Saharan Africa, a fact often ignored in the fight against AIDS in Africa. The study concludes, however, that the solution to the problem lies in greater openness to homosexual practices from the African nations and better access to interventions, a solution that experts from the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) have called "simplistic."
The review, principally authored by Dr. Adrian D. Smith of the University of Oxford, calls for greater acceptance of MSM in sub-Saharan Africa, where the cultures are still mostly unwilling to accept homosexuality and the homosexulist agenda.
"Continued denial of MSM from effective HIV/AIDS prevention and care," they say, "is harmful to national HIV/AIDS responses." According to the review, male-to-male sex is illegal in 31 sub-Saharan countries, with the death penalty a possible punishment in four of them.
There is a need, say the researchers, for increased recognition of the HIV problem among MSM, which has been overlooked in sub-Saharan Africa. "Globally, [MSM] continue to bear a high burden of HIV infection," they write.
The initial research conducted in the early 1980s focused on heterosexual transmission, observe the researchers, suggesting that these findings have skewed the approach ever since. The result was that "the possibility that MSM might feature within this model [of HIV infection in Africa] soon disappeared from discussion."
Previous reports have also indicated that the idea that AIDS is primarily being transmitted through heterosexual relations in Africa may not have a firm basis in fact.

Funny how nature works. The left can try all it can but nature will win out in the end.
Healthy Lifestyle my butt....Oh wait I guess I should have phrased that differently...LOL
Now I'll have something else pop into my mind whenever I hear about the mainstream media.
Lancet was a medical journal once but now it is a left wing & third world advocacy group. At least here the truth comes out. My guess is a lot of African men go both ways including apparently those w/o BC. Muslims talk about the sins to allah of homosexuality but I am sure it is a lot more common then the hyprocrites let on.
Who wrote that silly headline??
The Lancelot is pure frakin joke...so is their past and present suspect methodolgy.
How did you happen to select your screen name? Or is it your real name?
Hmmmm, wonder how the Obamaloon health care kooks plan to address the fact that certain “lifestyles” will naturally incur greater care costs. They address this with smoking, fatty foods....and ??
Oh, never mind. For a moment there I imagined that there were actually folks in the Obamaloon group that had measurable IQs.
Who wrote that silly headline??
You mean if men have sex with each other where they make poop they may get nasty diseases?
