Page 19 - In a bathouse in New York City, Demetre Daskalakis, MD hopes to solve the mysteries of long-term resistance to HIV infection. In this unusual setting he established an HIV testing site in 2007.

Sorry, it’s on page 19 of the linked publication.
We aren’t condemning homosexual behavior because of political correctness.
People don’t believe male homosexual behavior can be hazardous to the health. They think that since we have safe sex campaigns and bowls of condoms in gay bars, that the problem is solved.
And they see the gay character on TV shows are always the wisest and happiest people, so they have certain images of gays in their minds, and can’t believe what the health statistics shows.
[ Being gay isn’t the problem, being a slut is the problem. ]
NAILED IT (in a platonic way of course)
Oh, barry?...
That would be due to the combination of the typical frequency of the typically high-risk behavior throughout the population, thus adding further higher levels of infection for spreading through that means. It is the frequency of that particular behavior that makes that specific population at high risk generally.
A couple, heterosexual or homosexual, who have never had sex with anyone else have zero chance of contracting AIDS or HIV, regardless of what sexual activities they engage in.
My comment with regard to highly promiscuous heterosexual anal sex was a hypothetical, of course, as I am unaware of any human group that engages in such, outside of the porn industry, anyway.
But if they did, the health effects would be much the same as for homosexuals, who DO engage in such behavior, and which is the reason for their high risk status.
“Experts even recommend that homosexual couples in long-term, “monogamous” relationships STILL wear “protection” to prevent possible infection.”
Well of course they do! For one thing, it is well-known that “long-term” and “monogamous” have very different meanings for many homosexuals than to the general population. For the other reason, the infective status of either partner prior to the start of the relationship is a very real risk.
When it comes to potential infection, with AIDS or any other STD, you essentially have sex with everybody your partner has ever had sex with. If that number is one, as in a truly monogamous rather than serially polygamous relationship, the risk is zero. The risk factor increases dramatically with each additional contact either partner has ever had.
Long-term monogamous relationships do absolutely nothing to protect one if one’s partner comes into the relationship infected due to prior activities.
VERY true.
In fact, I have a personal theory that true "San Francisco bathhouse" behavior never existed for long in previous human history. Rapid spread of infectious disease would quickly wipe out any group that engaged in it.
Only in the late 20th century did it become feasible, as antibiotics and other treatments kept the participants alive and fornicating despite their contracting multiple diseases.
Ironically, this advance in itself allowed for the rapid spread of AIDS, as the behavior that allowed for the rapid spread was only possible (for more than a brief period) due to medical technology.
Let them donate blood! Let them join the Army!
/S
Because gay activists will do their best to ruin the lives of anybody who opposes their agenda. Look at what happened to people who contributed money to anti-gay-marriage initiatives when their names were outed.
Being gay is being a slut. It’s inherent in the lifestyle. The gay lifestyle is doing anything, anywhere, anytime one wants. It’s hedonism. There is no such thing as monogamy as its defined with gays. The lifestyle is inherently opposed to monogamy.

Correct. Which is also why HIV is such a big problem in the heterosexual population in Africa. There is rampant promiscuity and anal sex is used as a form of birth control there.
Interesting, thank you
You know have you ever thought how long cancer has been around?
I bet nearly all of us know someone who has died or had cancer and yet there is still not many ways to treat it.
How long was HIV and AIDS around, how long did it take for a tablet and a near cure to be made?
Another reason to reject NObamacare.
The cost of treating this disease is astromical & it is entirely self destructive.
Not to mention some other somewhat bizarre het sexual practices I won’t go into detail on.
BTW, it is utterly politically incorrect to suggest there might be anything about African sexual practices that contribute to its high rate of infection.
Also, I have become highly skeptical of the infection rates mentioned for Africa. If the numbers were anywhere near as high as some of the claims, some of these countries should be dropping in population, and I don’t believe they are.
I always remember the theatre critic, John Simon, running out of a gay-friendly show in the 1980s, yelling: “The theatre will never get back to normal until they all die of AIDS!”
A worthwhile scientific experiment would be to take blood samples from gays and blood samples from heterosexuals and then compare them for sexually transmitted diseases of every kind. What are some of the diseases that they carry? Isn’t hepatitis commonly found in gays?
Don’t know about Hepatitis, however wiener is almost always found in homos.
Notice how the percentage of men who have sex with men and women who have sex with men are nearly identical. Guess that means that women who have HIV are most likely getting it from men who have sex with other men. Could that go back to what goes on in the prison world?
