Public health officials are struggling to contain an outbreak of HIV among homeless drug users in Boston that has persisted since early 2019 and likely worsened as the pandemic limited access to services such as testing.

So far the outbreak has affected 113 people, with 13 new cases identified between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28. And the virus, which is deadly when untreated, is thought to be spreading undetected among people who inject drugs and lack stable housing.

Someone explain to me how people are somehow "vulnerable" due to willful conduct universally known to put them at risk?

And how many of these drug abusers are actually fags?

Just a reminder that HIV/AIDS is a HOMO-CENTRIC disease.

- Men contract it from other men sexually.
- Women contract it from men who contract it from other men sexually.
- Men seldom contract it from female sexual partners.
- Minors contract it from men who have sex with other men.
- Children who contract is natally, contract it from mothers who have sex with men who have sex with men.
- Injection drug users and homosexual men are often a merged group. Homosexual men are high frequency users of injection drugs to get high.

113 is significant, considering that these idiots are virtual seeds to sow to a much larger idiot population.

“...who inject drugs and lack stable housing.”

And what the heck does “stable housing” have to do with injecting yourself with heroin in tainted HIV infected syringes?

Boston is a liberal paradise, isn’t it?

It always surprised me to hear such bad news from liberal places, where public officials are so full of compassion that they work hard to solve all our social problems.

Here’s a really funny angle:

“The explosion of HIV in West Virginia has been linked to the state’s decision to shut down a needle exchange program.”

Right, so enabling the high risk behavior which spreads disease is going to lower the disease rate? Only in a leftard universe.

Thirteen cases in two months? Is this supposed to be an epidemic? Among homeless drug users? What is to be done?

Homeless drug users probably with Grindr accounts on their Obama phones.

The only way to prevent massive death from this HIV pandemic is to lock down our society. Flatten the curve.

I remember when AIDS started in the 80s, they screamed like banshees when they suggested closing down the bathhouses.

LEt's see - we have "people who inject drugs and lack stable housing." Notably absent is any mention of faggotry. Wonder why that is?

And the band played on...

Nothing. Just an excuse for Boston to get more money to try to fix the homeless problem that they have a been able to fix for decades By throw more money at it.
