Explosion of Sexually Transmitted Infections In London's Gay Community
Brietbart ^ | 24th september 2014 | Andre Walker

Posted on 09/24/2014 12:01:46 PM PDT by Mount Athos

London's gay community is facing a sexual health crisis as a result of "worsening" awareness of the dangers of unsafe sex. Whilst gay and bisexual men represent less than 4 percent of London's population they are responsible for 84 percent of syphilis cases and 65 percent of gonorrhoea cases in the capital.

A new study from Public Health England (PHE), reported on by Pink News, suggested that around a quarter of all reported cases of sexually transmitted infections (STI) are diagnosed in gay men.

Diseases like gonorrhoea are not the only infections being reported in the gay community. The bacterial infection shigella flexneri – which causes diarrhoea – is common, as is lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV).

The report also warns of the dangers of "chemsex", the practise of taking drugs during a sexual encounter. Participants in chemsex are often less careful when it comes to using condoms, as they are high during sex sessions.

The drugs used in chemsex encounters include: crystal methamphetamine, GHB/GBL and mephedrone. The use of these drugs are much higher in the gay community than elsewhere in British life. All of these drugs are considered highly dangerous by doctors.

Dr Yvonne Doyle, regional director for PHE London said: "The worsening of sexual health of men who have sex with men is despite evidence that they are increasingly aware of and accessing services.

"High numbers of MSM are taking risks with their health by not using condoms consistently and as a result we are seeing rises in a whole range of STIs, including HIV."

It had been hoped that policies like same sex marriage would have encouraged the gay community to be less promiscuous. This report suggests that the impact of this policy has been very limited in sexual health terms.

Gee who would have thought that a group who identify themselves by referring to their sexual practices would be primarily interested in having sex no matter what the consequences.

Phil Robertson, in a recent interview, pointed out that the healthiest lifestyle

JUST HAPPENS TO BE

the lifestyle that is biblically condoned.

COINCIDENCE? Hardly.

This is why Christian Healthsharing Ministries can keep costs down as well.

Exploding genitals can sure take some of the gayness out of your gay day.

"The worsening of sexual health of men who have sex with men is despite evidence that they are increasingly aware of and accessing services."

Support services enabling a compulsion have led to more compulsive behavior? Who'da thunk?

The Sodomites will doubtlessly try to take down as many conservatives as they can, though. For our protection, the government has a moral and legal obligation to proactively crush the Sodomites, just as God commanded in Leviticus 20:13.

I bet they’re enjoying the puss and feces! Will Dan Savage be coming up with a clever name for that cocktail I wonder? He’s certainly sick and degenerate enough

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, you mean to tell me that mixing feces with male genitalia isn’t a healthy practice...that’s just crazy talk.

Given that nearly all homosexuals I meet actually DO have some kind of mental illness, these statistics are simply a consequence of their behavior, and society’s approbation of their behavior.

Expect such infection rates to continue to rise.

"worsening" awareness WTF does THAT mean? Are people who previously knew of the dangers of gay sex forgetting?

********************************

As a coworker said to me years ago (when AIDS was really becoming an issue):

It used to be that if you got something, you could get a shot for it & get over it. Along came herpes and you couldn't get rid of it, but you could live with it. Now there's AIDs and there's no cure for it and it kills you .... I'll stay monogamous & faithful to my wife, thank you very much.

Crude way to describe the situation, but fairly accurate. Now, with all the drug cocktails, HIV/AIDs is no longer an automatic death sentence - you can live years with it and I think that's the difference for "worsening" awareness .... if it's not necessarily going to kill you, the sodomites take the chance.
