While that 25 percent stat has been vehemently and thoroughly disproved (most contend that the rate due to bug-chasing is much lower), what has thus far been lost in almost all the coverage so far has been that number's greater significance.

...

The HIV rates in this country are way up. It's way up in the black community. It's a waiting avalanche that's waiting to come down...

Sad but true. As I see it, the best way to stop the avalanche is to stop the behavior behind the avalanche. The problem is, there are too many folks pretending to be a friend to homosexuals that only tell homosexuals what their itching ears want to hear.

Where HIV is Sexy and Prevention is Passé

Sounds like the definition of a problem that'll solve itself...

Allow insurance companies to remove behavior-caused infection from their health coverage.

Allow hospitals to deny treatment to those with HIV that have no money (right now, if you come through the emergency room door you get served regardless of your ability to pay).

Allow drug companies and the free market to charge whatever they want to - drug prices will change up or down as new remedies are invented or not and as treatment becomes more effective.

The problem will go away.

BTW: this just proves my theory that homosexuals are self-loathing.

It's called narcisism. There is another behavioral disorder. They get attention because they have "the gift". All of these mental illnesses are linked to the break down of the family.

Who is paying $ for it? All the taxpayers and those fiscal conservatives that think having a Gay GOP party is great. Sullivan has "the gift" and less than a month ago someone provided a link on FR for webpages he used to have advertising for barebacking partners.

Nope! No agenda here. Please look the other way.

"...We have to start telling the truth. And that would be the best thing that could come of [the documentary]--that people would start talking again and become aware of the risk."

That's how I see our efforts here on FreeRepublic - getting the truth out about the risks. Unfortunately it appears some of our fellow freepers want to stop us from doing exactly what the documentary is trying to do.

HIV is number one as far as health care research money from the government. Gay men wanted it that way. They got it.

Now other diseases such as kidney failure and cardiomyopathy get next to nothing. All the moneys go to HIV.

People with genetic predispositions to diseases are being left out. It really angers me.

"It's not like cigarette smoking, where people look sick and are dying," she continues. "You can drive down a street in West Hollywood and see a billboard that says, 40,000 deaths this year from smoking. But you'd never see a billboard saying anything about deaths from HIV."
Barbrastreisand! Here in Boston the busses and subways are plastered with PSAs from groups like amFAR going on about the number of AIDS cases worldwide and so on. There is a lot more information on HIV/AIDs on these vehicles than on all other health issues combined.
In this article they bemoan the fact that real images of the devastating effects of the disease(s) isn't making it into the public consciousness but I'm sure they'd complain if anyone were to try to post images of abortion.
