Well, they won't be able to blame the next increase in AIDS on Ronald Reagan...or will they anyway?

AIDS is no longer a disease but a civil rights status.
To: GuillermoX
It always has been. Back in the early '80s they decided that this disease will be treated like no other infectious disease was ever treated.

I think it is actually a form of "death-wish".
I think that deep inside, gay men who do this hate their lifestyle and hate themselves.
Engaging in unprotected sex could be part of a desire to kill themselves along with a petulant desire to take others with them.

So-called unprotected sex is the rule in all forms of sexual activity. homosexual or heterosexual. It takes the spontaneousness, continuity, and life out of the party to clad yourself in tupperware. This is why condoms will never be effective, homosexually or heterosexually.

Filthy, degenerate perverts. They intentionally seek to spread their loathsome diseases amongst themselves and where possible to the rest of the population.
Is it any wonder decent people shun them?
To: Pharmboy
I have a problem with the bi-sexuals transmitting to the hetero pop.

Waaaiiit a minute: (homosexual thinking deeply) Death or condom? Death or condom?...Lemme see here...uh...OK--I got it--I'll take death. (/sarcasm)
I sorta agree with Ronin--a death wish for whatever reason.

After a night of wild, uninhibited, unprotected sex, these same men hold marches, rallies and what not, shrilly demanding that more and more money be spent on AIDS research, even though that disease gets much more funding than cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc. combined. And if you don't give, you are a hate mongering homophobe.
To: Pharmboy
I should have known better than to read this before dinner. This article is enough to put me off of my food. Oh well, the truth needs to be known about this and putting your head in the sand is no way to deal with it.
To: Pharmboy
Mansergh and colleagues call for new health promotion strategies to reach men who bareback, Yep. Throw more money at the problem. That'll fix it.
The liberal solution to everything.
To: Ronin
I agree. This behavior is a manifestation of their profound self loathing. They know what they're doing is depraved. Too bad the PC enthusiasts can't see it.

You raise an important point. Here is how Congressman Istook answered the question "Should fed funding for disease research depend on how many people are affected?"Yes. Federal funding for medical research is skewed, failing to focus on diseases that cause the most suffering and death. Something is wrong when NIH funds research at the rate of $1,129 per heart disease death, $723 per stroke death, $4,995 per diabetes death, $4,525 per cancer death, but $31,381 per HIV/AIDS death.
NIH priorities respond well to the political and media attention focused upon AIDS and HIV. But its priorities fall short on diseases that cause the most death or suffering.
NIH allocates $2,100 per year for each HIV/AIDS patient (600,000 to 700,000), $200 per breast cancer patient (2 million), $338 per overall cancer patient (8 million), $40 per heart disease patient (22 million), and $20 per diabetes patient (16 million).
Of the 43 percent of its budget that NIH spends on disease-specific research, heart disease receives $903 million (16.5 percent), diabetes $316 million (5.8 percent), pneumonia and influenza $64 million (1.2 percent), stroke $127 million (2.3 percent) and HIV/AIDS $1.5 billion (27.5 percent).
Cardiovascular disease is America's number-one killer, nearing a million deaths a year, or 22 times more than AIDS (number eight). Cancer kills 13 times more persons than AIDS, and stroke four times as many. But NIH's $1.5 billion in AIDS research is second only to cancer's $2.7 billion. Although AIDS is the leading cause of death for males ages 25 to 44, this selected segment is only 15 percent of the entire population.
Congress gives too much discretion over specific research-funding allocation to NIH and its institute directors. We should provide significant funding for AIDS research, but not to the detriment of other deadly diseases.
Rep. Ernest Istook (R-Okla.)
Member, House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health & Human Services and Education

No-duh! It doesnt take a CDC scientist to know that. It could be also stated that "Downright nasty, perverted sex is prevalent among gay men" too, without too much of a stretch.
To: Pharmboy
Dang, I wish I had never read this post. I may never be able to enjoy a rodeo again!

This is about as revolutionary as the scientific studies/surveys showing that
a lot of binge drinking go on at univerities and colleges.
And we pay the salaries (AND retirements!) of these governmental nimrods.

We must invest millions in research to cure a disease so these guys can engage in unsafe sex. < /sarcasm>
To: VOA
I dunno--call me naive, but I thought the threat of death would be enough to inconvenience at least a MAJORITY of these folks and impel them to use condoms. Silly me.
But, I do believe it's good to have the CDC document this scheiss.

"There were no differences in the prevalence of barebacking by race or ethnicity, education or income, the report indicates."
Duh-, For once the liberal press couldn't make this into a Race or class war. In other words, Immorality and stupidity doesn't care about race, ethnicity education or income.

I don't think we should fund any of it. After all, they "choose" death "in the privacy of their own homes."
We should not have any involvement at all. Right? It's "their personal life."
Let them use their own "personal" money for it.
