HIV infections are rising among gay men in many parts of the world, the World Health Organization warned Friday, urging all men who have sex with men to take antiretroviral drugs to prevent infection.
"We are seeing exploding epidemics," warned Gottfried Hirnschall, who heads WHO's HIV department.
Infection rates are rising again among men who have sex with men -- the group at the epicentre of AIDS pandemic when it first emerged 33 years ago, he told reporters in Geneva.
While images of skeletal men dying of AIDS in the 1980s pushed the world to act, a younger generation that has grown up among new treatments that make it possible to live with HIV are less focused on the disease, he suggested.
Today, this group is 19 times more likely than the general population to be infected by HIV, Hirnschall said.
In Bangkok for instance, the incidence of HIV among men who have sex with men stands at 5.7 percent, compared to less than 1.0 percent for the overall population, he said.
n its new recommendations for combatting the HIV/AIDS pandemic, published Friday, the UN health agency therefore for the first time "strongly recommends men who have sex with men consider taking antiretroviral medicines as an additional method of preventing HIV infection".
US authorities made the same recommendation in May.
Taking pre-exposure prophylaxis medication, for instance as a single daily pill combining two antiretrovirals, in addition to using condoms, has been estimated to cut HIV incidence among such men by 20-25 percent, WHO said, stressing that this could avert "up to one million new infections among this group over 10 years".
The new guidelines also focus on other high-risk groups, pointing out that men who have sex with men, transgender people, prisoners, people who inject drugs...

duh!
who didn’t think drugs that dont cure the disease, but only mask the symptoms and extend life wouldn’t result in a higher AIDS infection percentage!
Then the general public was subjected to a barrage of pro-homosexual messages, plays, and movies concerning the subject. The media outright lied to the public that everybody was equally liable to contracting the disease when they knew full well that if you weren't a male homosexual engaging in unsafe buggering practices or a dirty-needle junkie, the odds of contracting the disease were tiny. Even though some people (Arthur Ashe) were infected by HIV-tainted blood tranfusions and died, the risk for non-male homos was exceedling small.
So since then I weep few tears for these people. They spread a disease that managed to kill hundreds or thousands of innocent people who did not engage in unsafe sex practices, and they blamed other people (Reagan, conservatives) because they didn't find a cure overnight allowing them to keep engaging in unsafe buggering. Even now many of them still practice unsafe sex and keep getting infected. They made their bed, they can lay in it.
Anyone notice that even with the condoms and anti-viral the risk is only lessened by 20-25%?
I wonder what it would be reduced with just condoms.
“Like Trinoassitol?”

Or Nopokabunghol. I have heard of a new repellent spray called “Deepwoods Bruceoff” that is said to work well. A strict policy of Don’t Love Reggie should also help.

The WHO says HIV is exploding among gays, but the gays want to give blood transfusions. The 2002 link is about infections gotten from tainted blood!
Read and Remember
Here is a thread from just last week about them wanting to give blood:

The proven way to stop these coprophiliacs is to slam them back into the closet or pass laws banning the behavior.
I remember that, and was getting ready to mention it. You beat me to it.
Now they want to contaminate the blood supply again as Bill Clinton did when he allowed AIDS infected prisoners in Arkansas to donate blood.
Quite a few people died as a result.
BTTT................
The wages of sin are death.
I file reports like this in the same “I Don’t Care” category as I do muslims-killing-muslims or commies-killing-commies.
That is unexpected. Who could have guessed that pretending it was morally and socially okay for men to have sex with men would dramatically increase the transmission of a disease spread when men have sex with men?
