Gays faced with new STD strains
By JACOB GOLDSTEIN

In the past five years, without much fanfare, a syphilis epidemic has emerged among gay men in South Florida and around the country.
Nationwide, rates of drug-resistant gonorrhea have risen rapidly in gay men.
And a rare form of chlamydia has spread among gay men in Europe, moved to Canada and New England, and may have made its way to South Florida.
Syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia are all curable, but they can be painful and, if not treated promptly, can cause long-term damage. And having a sexually transmitted disease makes it much easier to contract or transmit HIV.
The rise of these diseases follows the return of high-risk sex in some parts of the gay community -- and an increase in new HIV cases among gay men

On "Law and Order" maybe. Statistically, though, it is very uncommon for extramarital affairs to involve homosexual encounters.
Oh well. You'll have that.
One exception is the "down low" phenomenon among African Americans. In those cases, it is usually closeted gay men passing it on to their girlfriends, as the social stigma against homosexuality is much higher among blacks than it is among whites.
sounds like a plan. It's Bush's fault!
Was that Elton?
WHAT THE HELL? Chrissie is part male?
Actually most African American AIDS is associated with IV drug use. It turns out that it's nearly impossible for a healthy woman to contract AIDS from vaginal intercourse.
(Likewise 'heterosexual AIDS' in Africa is almost all attributable to shared medical equipment, both in clinics and home use, and improper sterilization.)
This is anectdotal, but I have lived across the street from a homo male, who was living with a female, with kids. My wife had a outed gay supervisor, who had once had a wife and child. Happens all the time. Oh, yeah, just remembered a female lesbian that I used to work with, and she had an ex hubby and chillun.
Homosexuality is nothing short of a method to cull the herd. Something says Darwin Awards await those who practice this lifestyle
That is still a small proportion. It always comes down to behavior. Many would like to attribute it to socio-economic factors (so they can blame the guvmint and whites) to explain away low testing and awareness rates etc. But when you have a higher proportion of the black population in and out of prison(very high risk) and a higher proportion of unmarried women with a multiple boyfriends, among other issues, you're going to have higher infection rates.
So you know of 2 gays who either lived with a woman or were married and so it "happens all the time"?
How is that anecdotal evidence that closeted gays with HIV/AIDS are infecting their wives?
"female lesbian" is redundant, and off-topic.
And!!!!!!!!!!
You play with fire, you are eventually going to get burned.
Do I feel bad for these people?
Nope!
Let them Rock on !

Sometimes people become attracted to the same sex. Doesn't mean they always were. You can get used to anything. It took me weeks to be able to smoke cigarettes without extreme nausea when I was 12 or 13. Watch enough weird movies, get accosted by homosexuals, think about it - and voila! A new one.
How can this happen? It's not like they are promiscuous and doing their stuff through glory holes or anything.
AIDS = Anally injected death sentence
Whatever floats your boat.
Sounds like you're wishing death on large numbers of people. Culture of death strikes again?"
The "Culture of death" is the homo lifestyle.
They wish it on themselves.
Homosexual Agenda Ping.
More bad news - is anyone surprised? Promiscuous sex of any kind is dangerous for the health, same sex acts even more so.
The more homosexuals learn the truth - that they weren't born like that, they can change - the more hope there is for them.
But the MSM doesn't want the truth to be told. I guess they're the real "haters" - they'd rather see homosexuals get sick and die. They call us the "haters" - when we'd rather see them change and save themselves and others.
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
