Lead researcher Dr. Lisa Hightow, a fellow in infectious diseases at the UNC School of Medicine, says half of all new HIV infections occur in young people.

Perhaps we should have started educating kids about this a long time ago...

The study found that 25 male college students in a three-county region of North Carolina have been diagnosed with HIV since 2001, and nearly 90% of those students were black men whose infections resulted from homosexual sex.

But are CO² emissions being reduced? That's what really counts ya know.

Unless North Carolina only has about 150 college students, I think "ravaging" is a bit strong a term.

90% were black MEN. I wonder what of the remaining percent were also MEN. That would put the percentage of infection based on male to male sex above 90%.

At the beginning of last year, the CDC reported approximately 362,827 persons in the United States living with AIDS. Of these, 42% were whites, 37% were blacks, 20% were Hispanics, less than 1% were Asians and Pacific Islanders, and less than 1% were American Indians and Alaskan Natives. Of the 282,250 men (13 years or older) living with AIDS, 57% were men who had homosexual sex, 24% were intravenous drug users, and 9% were exposed through heterosexual contact. Of the 76,696 adult and adolescent women with AIDS, 59% were exposed through heterosexual contact and 38% were exposed through intravenous drug use. And according to the CDC, at the end of 2001 there were 3,817 children living with AIDS in America.*

Also, note that in the national stats very few men are exposed heterosexually, but that far more women are. This is testimony to the fact that men deposit a blood product, semen, with the women, and that male exposure to a blood product in women is not impossible, but rare. (Hetero sex during menstruation?)

The high percentages of infection via intravenous drug use compared with the intense micro-study of NC students, suggests that many of the IV claimants were actually infected via male on male sex but were afraid to admit the same.

There is little follow-up in these self-reports, and generally, the word of the patient is accepted.

I hope that this study didn't cost a lot of tax payers $'s, or that it will cost us a lot of tax $'s.

Duh most of the HIV case came after homosexual sex.

We have known about the Darwin effect in the Gay population for over two decades now.

The colleges have turned into orgy palaces. I'm surprised the disease factor is not spreading faster.

Hmmmm, a racist virus. Who whudda thunk it?

...were black men whose infections resulted from homosexual sex.

Oh!!!!! This one is especially special in that it gets two, yes, TWO, diversity points!!!! A BIG celebration of diversity must take place over this.

Homosexuality kills. What are we doing celebrating/promoting killing?!? Homosexual activits are mean, brutal, killers...

All the young guys who have been educated in public school that it is ok to be bisexual/gay are reaping the rewards of that habit.


This is one instance I wished the public education agenda would have failed to convey.

There was a long and revealing article in the NYT magazine 10 days ago about black men on the 'down low'; that is, black men who have sex with men, more often than not unprotected, but who deny they are gay or even bisexual, are often outwardly masculine, and often have steady relationships with women. The article was devastating to the "can't change/born that way" theory, and it does suggest that a major conduit for the AIDS virus into the heterosexual minority population is via black men who, if asked, would deny they are homosexual, and so who probably don't show up in the stats for many men infected with AIDS.
