Sexually transmitted diseases are not caused by lack of government funding. They are caused by irresponsible behavior.

End of discussion right there.

Funny how “sodomite” got transmogrified into “MSM”.

“ It really is amazing — disease spreads because of lack of money. Who knew?”
********************************************************************

That’s why I’ve always kept a bill or two tucked away in the corner of my wallet… so I never have a total lack of money and thus be vulnerable to syphilis.

Well, I'll say this. Two people who've followed God's system will be highly unlikely to contract a STD.

If you're following man's system of sex whenever you feel like it with whomever you can your chances of a STD begin to increase significantly.

Love has nothing to do with it. How many folks are "hooking up" today and are not in a relationship? That's where the majority of this is happening.

So...yes....STDs can be viewed as a consequence of people's behaviors.

Syphilis is almost exclusively transmitted via unprotected homosexual anal sex. Why are the idiots in the press lying about this non-stop?

It is almost like a conspiracy! Shall we all pretend that all are equally likely to get AIDS, syphilis, et. al?

You are an idiot - and a liar. Stop pretending that these diseases are totally divorced from behaviour.

Syphilis existed long before the current contagion of anal sex. Try not to conflate disease with sin.

Yes it is but it can also be caught just by someone being in love with the wrong person at the wrong time.

Total baloney and rampant lie. I love my son and daughter, but syphilis will never be a problem. I am not having sex with them.

You cannot catch a disease by being in "love" with someone, only from intercourse.

People say this kind of drivel to show how much they care and end up blurring the lines between love and lust.

More sexually transmitted diseases? What? The dickens you say!

I’m sure it has nothing to do with everyone screwing anyone and anything, either sex, any orifice, any time, day and night. Sing about it, post pics of it, make videos of it, watch it, talk about it, march in parades while doing it...on and on it goes. Filthy, depraved perversion 24/7. I can’t figure it out - more disease. It’s a mystery.

If people wore full-body masks, we’d end the scourge of Syphilis for good.

Get a load of this from last year. They don't call it contact tracing anymore. It's partner therapy...

Accelerated partner therapy contact tracing for people with chlamydia (LUSTRUM): a crossover cluster-randomised controlled trial

And guess what accelerated partner therapy means: no actual legwork, just phone calls and shovelling meds.

So if it's so cost saving, why are they bleating for more money...?

When 90% of women want to sleep with the same 5% of men, guess what happens? For men it means a rise in the number of virgins. This is what dating apps have done.

“... it can also be caught just by someone being in love with the wrong person at the wrong time.”

There is no such thing as the right time to catch an STD. Part of the problem is the publishers might as well take the word abstinence out of the dictionary as it doesn’t seem to match the growing education of the term self indulgence.

Why would my comments be considered an opus?

yep, nothing to do with funding, everything to do with hook up culture, tinder, and so many young people being fooled into believing they are fags or the wrong sex.
