June is Pride Month, a ripe time to reflect on one of the most startling facts about our sexual culture today: Condom use is all but disappearing among large numbers of gay men.
Many rightly attribute the condom’s decline to the rise of PrEP — an acronym for pre-exposure prophylaxis, a two-drug cocktail that inoculates a person from contracting H.I.V. But another crucial component is the fading memory of the AIDS crisis that once defined what it meant to be gay.
After tracking the sexual practices of 17,000 gay and bisexual Australian men from 2014 to 2017, a team of researchers this month unveiled the most convincing evidence to date. While the number of H.I.V.-negative men who are on PrEP increased to 24 percent from 2 percent, the rate of condom use decreased to 31 percent from 46 percent. More troubling, condom use among non-gay men is also down significantly.
Although public health advocates have been sounding the alarm on condom use for the last decade, their calls have gone largely unheeded. Part of that is because of a shift in how we talk about risky sex: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has replaced “unprotected” with “condomless” sex.
The dangerous implication is that PrEP alone may ward off all sexually transmitted infections. Indeed, studies have shown a strong correlation between PrEP use and the contraction of S.T.I.s. PrEP enthusiasts counter that PrEP mandates testing for S.T.I.s every three months, a practice that promotes rather than discourages a culture of sexual health.
But a 2016 study by the University of California, Los Angeles illustrated that PrEP users were 25.3 times more likely to acquire gonorrhea and a shocking 44.6 times more likely to develop a syphilis infection (other studies have found no significant uptick in S.T.I. rates, however).

Over 10 percent of US gay men have had over ONE THOUSAND sex partners.
Yes, Freetown.
You do realize that words have meaning, don’t you?
There was a start?
Didn’t know they ever cared about condoms in the first place. Anyone that sick wouldn’t.
“Their whole lives are defined by the phallus...”
Canaanite religion — phallic worship — in the Old Testament, referenced as “groves and high places.” The “grove” was garbled translation for phallus. Or maybe the translators thought it was too indecent.
“There is no safe way to shove something up a person’s anus. “
Colonoscopy?
Sodomy often leads to diapers for homosexuals as they tear open their rectums. Looks at a homosexual and see if baggy-butt syndrome isn’t obvious.
Not particularly safe but necessary (according to most doctors). There have been serious consequences for instruments that haven’t been cleaned properly.
In San Francisco, fifty percent of gay men report more than five HUNDRED partners.
We mock them and hold them in disdain, but when I see a homo I see the underlying sadness.
Why? Because just about every homo was raped or molested as a child by a man or older boy, and that is a tragedy. It forms the very core of their identity, and mental illness.
Stop the rape and molestation of boys and you stop homosexuality in a generation.
“HIV...... Queers killing queers.”
Darling, I’m do everything with everyone....Freddy Mercury
Last night on cable TV I saw an ad for a Rx medication to help prevent HIV.
Serious, it went into full detail its called *Pre* from what I could understand. It showed several gay or LGBT people talking about how excited they were....
Unbelievable!
AIDS will come back and it will be Trump’s fault just like it was Reagans’ fault the first time it blew up.
“Stop the rape and molestation of boys and you stop homosexuality in a generation.”
To do that, you need to stop the homosexuals.
We need to reclassify as in the DSM II that homosexuality is a mental illness, ban them from having unsupervised contact with children (teachers, Boy Scouts, clergy, etc.) and from having any positions of trust (security clearances, elected positions, military, etc.)
We also need to teach, as we once did, the dangers of homosexuals.
Well, in fairness, since they don't really know who their having sex with on any given occasion there are probably lots of "doubles" in those counts.
Whether they want to admit it or not, the gay lifestyle creates a petri dish for new mutations of bacteria and viruses.
It is inevitable if you do the math. Then the bisexual ones spread it to the heterosexual world.
The CDC numbers put gay men at almost 40x the risk for being HIV positive. Nobody wants to talk about what it means to embrace the gay lifestyle. There’s a reason they die younger and alone. They do not build a life, they sacrifice their future existence for sex.
It is sad and PC culture encourages it in the name of “love”. :(
Gay people should be required to pay more than smokers for health insurance. If they engage in risky behavior. You should also be able to buy health insurance without sex change coverage. Imagine how cheap it would get for the normals.
