Ping!
This must be that those women are not afraid of pregnancy so they are engaging in more sex. There doesn’t seem to be an actual cause in having hormones circulating vs HIV getting into the bloodstream.
Bill Gates is a eugenist
I agree. I think the Depo is not causing more HIV/AIDS. It is misleading, to say the least.
Sucks for the Depo people that their brand name was used. This would also apply to any implant. I guess its just way easier to run around shooting people every 3 months over there.
Or maybe the shots are messing with the immune systems of these women. Or maybe a little of both.
Correlation is not causation.
In this case, I would suspect that women who sign up for a multi-year birth control implant are statistically much more likely to do so because of high numbers of sexual partners (read that as prostitutes frequently engaged in high risk behavior with multiple random and diseased partners) and are therefore much more likely to become infected in the course of working their chosen profession.
Yup, probably more sex. With more people.
Blatant misuse of statistics.
The more women use Depo Provera
the less the fear pregnancy and
the more often they will engage in
unprotected sex. It’s the increase
in THAT number that leads to the
increase in HIV. The drug itself has
NOTHING to do with the increased
infection rate. Pissant shyster
lawyers busy destroying another
drug company for profit and the
blackrobed pirates infesting court
benches are allowing it...since they
are still a member of the “club” of
lawyers. They take care of their own.
Maybe it isn’t Depo-Provera... or ‘just’ Depo-Provera.
Sharpton and Jesse, please pick up the red courtesy phones.
Interesting asymmetry. Isn't it used for "chemical castration" in males?
The entire premise of birth control pills and morning after pills is that getting pregnant is worse than contracting an STD.
>>Interesting asymmetry. Isn’t it used for “chemical castration” in males?
Yes, but this is a much smaller use than its use as a long-acting female contraceptive.
The syringes may themselves be a vector of transmission. Needle-sharing drug users are one of the at-risk populations for HIV/AIDS.

Don't make the mistake of thinking the damned HHS mandate is all about condoms or even the Pill. By no means. It's about long-term impairment of female physiological function, targeting the whole female population. The marketing push is on.
The aim is to cut the birthrate in OUR country, which is already below replacement. Replacement fertility is 2.11 -- at last calculation, US fertility has dropped to 1.85 since 2008.
Even though they know that chronically jiggering the hormonal level seriously increases infection risk for AIDS and the new, "improved" cephalosporin-resistant gonorrhea.
This is what they call "women's health."
For our daughters and granddaughters!
Unconscionable evil.
And don’t forget the free surgical sterilization!
