It’s not a percentage. It’s a statistic; so, if there are 10 non-MSM with HIV per unit of population (usually 100,000), then there are 1090 MSM with HIV per the same unit (10x109).

“Getting multiple types of syphilis?”

Actually, they get HAGS syndrome.

Herpes
AIDS
Gonorrhea
Syphilis

Good night.

A lot of the homosexual disease among black men is spread in jails and prisons.

They then get out and spread the diseases to black women and children. They infect multiple people.

We could eliminate a lot of sexual disease if we did not permit men to use one another in prisons. It’s almost as if our homo prison male rape policy is targeting the prison population, and the women they have sex with after they are out, for death.

Sexual disease including HIV is skyrocketing in the black population.

Just like Islam.

How exactly can something be over a 100?

They are not saying “over 100% got HIV.” That is not possible, of course.

What they are saying is that MSM got HIV more than 100 times as often as non-MSM or females. It is a rate the study is talking about, not a percentage.

Bottom line, it is shocking!

MSM make up 2% of the population including both sexes, but get 53% of new HIV infections.

In this case 109 is not 109%, it’s literally 109 times higher or 10,900% higher.

the large majority of those men have been gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men


They are ALL homosexuals, lets just keep the one catagory.

Thanks to all of you for smarting-up big dummy here. Unfortunately, while I am now smarter, statements like:

“In this case 109 is not 109%, it’s literally 109 times higher or 10,900% higher.”

make it even tougher to listen to some talking head on TV try to lecture us that gay sex is ‘normal.’

At these infection rates, it almost sounds as if gay sex will eventually cure itself.

Death panel is for old Republican voters.

‘63 to 109 as high’

This is not 109% of MSM having HIV. It the rate of HIV in one group, compared to the rate of HIV in another group. A rate of 100% higher simply means that the rate is twice as high.
