Penis in anus = very risky.

Keyboard + typing = no risk.

Any questions?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

The anonymity of the Internet often allowed educators to address issues some men might feel reluctant to discuss in clinics or elsewhere. There was also a need to heighten awareness of HIV prevention with other groups such as minorities and teen-agers.

The title of the article suggests that the internet leads people to more risky behaviors, but in the end can help prevent such risky behaviors. So, which is it?

The Internet is a gay influencing factor?

I thought mall bathrooms, parks and Catholic Churches were.

I know I'm going to catch hell for this ----

But after listening to these mentally deranged people on the news channels being glorified, but I put my limit to hearing them extolled joyously on the radio every 15 minutes about how they are even going to have "straight men" involved with this perversion the HOMOSEXUAL DATING GAME.......


I say TOUGH SH**!

raising fears that the AIDS virus could be poised for a major comeback in the group hardest hit by the epidemic.

But, I thought it wasn't a gay disease.

This article alludes to these findings:

It's unbelievable, proving that old truism, "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink." Well, you can't save active homosexuals who have a Death Wish.
All the money in the world wouldn't make a difference to a particular cohort's determination to act carelessly.

[well, at least they didn't blame Dubya]

Don't be so sure. Seeing as this is the third year in a row that the national HIV infection rate is on the rise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, I bet it's only a matter of time before fingers are pointed.

Let AIDS resurge. I'm tired of the constant aggravation perpetrated by that entire scene.

"It's clear we need to reach gay and bisexual men with appropriate messages, not only in traditional high-risk settings but also online,"

I wonder if they mean messages like "Stop the Sodomy"?

Has anyone in the lamestream media taken a look at REAL data? I indulge Freepers to review the following:

[George W. Bush]

A separate study by the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies at the University of California in San Francisco found that 39 percent of gay and bisexual males interviewed online admitted having unprotected anal sex with someone they had met on the Internet in the previous two months. Eleven percent of these respondents were HIV-positive.

Bugchasers. So, among the most promiscuous sodomites, there is a known 11% chance that they're having unprotected sex with someone who is HIV positive.
