Bush Budget Increases AIDS Funding by Nearly $1 Billion Despite War, Recession

We were devastated again. Teens/young people of all sexual orientation are getting this disease in alarming numbers. They are teens and are more likely to screw around, especially before they have found a stable relationship. This is reality and it must be dealt with in a realistic manner. Concepts of abstenance are certainly productive, but will not protect those who have not been led to develop a sense of self control or already have and can spread it. There are other countries around the world that are facing virtual decimation of their people and country by this disease.

Why do you suppose this is not a problem in the "extremist" Muslim countries? Wouldn't have anything to do with their practices, would it? Are you opposed to smoking?

"Teens/young people of all sexual orientation are getting this disease in alarming numbers."

This is a TOTAL MYTH as statistics from the CDC just published CLEARLY show. Only 4,061 teenagers have contracted AIDS (not become sick or died) in 21 years in the entire US.

That breaks down to 193 a year (in one six month period 35 people were murdered in a two block radius of Mac Arthur Park in Los Angeles).

As AIDS tests are meant to shown infection within a few days and teenagers are very sexually active this is very, very odd for a sexually transmitted disease. Every other STD has a very high infection rate among teenagers. AIDS is the only exception.

Myths like teenage AIDS are based on nothing whatsoever and are just hype to keep the funding.

"Log Cabin Republicans is the nation's largest gay Republican organization, with state and local chapters nationwide, a full-time national office in Washington, D.C., and a federal political action committee."

How long will we permit these 'front' gay pressure groups extort billions of hard earned dollars from us?

Say NO to AIDS over funding - LOUD AND CLEAR!
