The National Institutes of Health has spent millions of dollars studying male sex workers in Peru, including more than $400,000 to determine why gay men get syphilis in the South American country.
Syphilis remains an uncontrolled infectious disease globally, with high prevalence and incidence in certain high risk populations, affecting more than 20 percent of men who have sex with men (MSM) in Peru, according to the grant, awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The incidence of syphilis in MSM in Peru is about 9 cases per 100 person-years, it said. We are proposing a study to improve our understanding of syphilis epidemiology and molecular biology, particularly among MSM.

I’m thinking they get syphilis because they have a lot of gay sodomy and sodomy is very unhealthy, but that’s just a wild guess.

Answer: Because they stick their penises into people who have syphilis or they let others with syphilis stick their penises into them.
Okay, where is my $464,272.00 check?
To: managusta
Lets see, give me $100K and I will give you the answer.

"The incidence of syphilis in MSM in Peru is about 9 cases per 100 person-years"
Why...because the MSM (mainstreammedia) is full of perverts!

Huh. Male prostitutes and sexually transmitted diseases. I wonder if there might be a connection there...
To: managusta
just tell them to stay out of peru
To: managusta
When I was in the service in the 60’s they told us if we had sex with a women with syphilis we had a chance of getting it ourselves. Nothing was said about men. However if I were to connect the dots wouldn’t the answer be about the same? I’m not a doctor but I did drive by a Holiday Inn the other day.
