CDC Analysis Provides New Look at Disproportionate Impact of HIV and Syphilis Among U.S. Gay and Bisexual Men
A data analysis released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention underscores the disproportionate impact of HIV and syphilis among gay and bisexual men in the United States.
The data, presented at CDC's 2010 National STD Prevention Conference, finds that the rate of new HIV diagnoses among men who have sex with men (MSM) is more than 44 times that of other men and more than 40 times that of women.
While CDC data have shown for several years that gay and bisexual men make up the majority of new HIV and new syphilis infections, CDC has estimated the rates of these diseases for the first time based on new estimates of the size of the U.S. population of MSM.
"While the heavy toll of HIV and syphilis among gay and bisexual men has been long recognized, this analysis shows just how stark the health disparities are between this and other populations," said Kevin Fenton, M.D., director of CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention. "It is clear that we will not be able to stop the U.S. HIV epidemic until every affected community, along with health officials nationwide, prioritize the needs of gay and bisexual men with HIV prevention efforts."
Research shows that a range of complex factors contribute to the high rates of HIV and syphilis among gay and bisexual men.
Also, the risk of HIV transmission through receptive anal sex is much greater than the risk of transmission via other sexual activities, and some gay and bisexual men are relying on prevention strategies that may be less effective than consistent condom use.

I will simplify it...it’s “disproportionate” because they are fags.
Diseased bodies, diseased minds

Complex? There may be a few things CDC needs to find out about, I bet the concept becomes much simpler.
But they’re just like you and me...

Wow! I knew it was bad but these number are mind-boggling.
Will the queers be made to pay a higher premium under obamacare because of their extremely high risk life style or is that just for smokers and over eaters?
no h8ing but we’ll need more duct tape.

I think you know the answer to that question...
So the new socialized healthcare covers syphilis treatment too, and everyone will pay for it, right?
Seriously...They wonder why straight men don’t want to be near gay guys...Ughhhh
