SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A drug-resistant strain of potentially deadly bacteria has moved beyond the borders of U.S. hospitals and is being transmitted among gay men during sex, researchers said on Monday.
They said methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is beginning to appear outside hospitals in San Francisco, Boston, New York and Los Angeles.
Sexually active gay men in San Francisco are 13 times more likely to be infected than their heterosexual neighbors, the researchers reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
"Once this reaches the general population, it will be truly unstoppable," said Binh Diep, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco who led the study. "That's why we're trying to spread the message of prevention."
According to chemical analyses, bacteria are spreading among the gay communities of San Francisco and Boston, the researchers said.
"We think that it's spread through sexual activity," Diep said.
*snip*
"Your likelihood of contracting each of these diseases increases with the number of sexual partners that you have," Diep said. "The same can probably be said for MRSA."

That headline is just too true!
oh dear
Choices have consequences.
Is there anything that’s not passed?
When will folks learn that tallywhackers are meant to go in the intake valve and not the exhaust valve ?
I thought AIDS was bad enough. I guess they will get us all killed through their “choice” of lifestyle and spread their misery to one and all. Misery loves company.
LOL!
hmmm, deadly bacteria passed on during gay sex?
water makes you wet and the world revolves on it’s axis. Nothing to see here folks.
It’s almost as if the wages of sin is death.
Cuz they're eating each-others' BUTTS, see?
Yep!
Staff staph?
They can have sex with each other in quarantine until they die from the bacterial infection.
Morals and common sense.

ROFLOL!!!
And you know this, how?
.
Makes one look back with nostalgia to an age where rubbers were waterproof shoe covers, and gay meant happy.
There’s good reason why God warned Mankind against homosexual sex (as well as sex with animals). We ignore God’s warning at our peril.
This news is disgusting.
Yeah, we've heard this before.
When the general population is routinely having unprotected anal sex with dozens of strangers in sticky-floored "bath houses," perhaps I'll lend some credence to his concerns.
I try...
“Annals of Internal Medicine”
Wow thats rather amusing
General Peter Pace was absolutely right. And not just about the military.
Drug-resistant staph found to be passed in gay sex...
the lib/dems will now demand billions of tax dollars for research for a cure!!!!
In Iran these sickos would’ve been executed and this would have a quick end put to it.
AIDS must be losing its “allure”.....time to scare the masses with something new.....
Ha Ha! First thing I thought of too! LOL.
Now there’s a big surprise! It took a profound analist examining his staph to ....can’t go any further.
That we’ve been warned, for thousands of years, by a loving God, not to defile our bodies in such a manner, because there are destructive bodily consequences, let alone destructive spiritual consequences, is completely lost on these deluded people. It’s as if they’re possessed. And, guess who they’ll blame for their grievous sores? They’ll curse anyone who believes in the God who warned them, as well as God himself. Some things never change.
Its effing sick.
>> I guess they will get us all killed through their “choice” of lifestyle
Nah, clearly the answer is to mobilize the gay lobby and divert more taxpayer dollars into research into fag diseases. Those suffering from “non-gay diseases” will just have to “feel the pain” a little longer.
“A hey hey
A ho ho
Got sick packin’ fudge
and we need more dough!”
Wha-hoo...!! Everybody aboard the extasy express...! Choo chooo...!
>>>>DUDES get Cholera a lot, here, and it’s completely 1st world, right?
For some reason this reminds me of Kathmandu, Nepal, where I’ve traveled a few times in preparation for trekking.
Seems the World Health Organization did an extensive water study and found that the KTM water supply had every form of virus, bacteria, pathogen, and deadly disease. Cholera, of course. But how about meningitis, diptheria, Hep A and B, etc etc. Just about every scary disease you can imagine.
And they discovered the problem too. Throughout KTM the “fresh” water conduits and the sewer conduits were built right next to each other, and were in various stages of decomposition everywhere. So of course the “fresh” water was completely contaminated with human feces and other decaying organic matter.
There’s an analogy to the SFO cholera problem somewhere in that story.
BTW, it’s very easy to get very sick in KTM. I had my one and only near-death food poisoning there. I knew of some other guys who both got cerebral meningitis (one died), and a woman who died from rabies in Boston about a month after getting back home.
I guess that’s how we should think of SFO.
Why aren’t all those people dead by now?
Are they immune?
(....is that politiclly correct?)
I have heard through the years that a lot of strange and resistant infections are at least indirectly caused by spreading from the gays to the rest of the population. I’d be surprised if not only is MRSA spread by gay sex, it started out there. We’re constantly told that resistant infections are our fault for taking antibiotics, but like all the rest of the lies we’ve been told by the Left, you had to wonder if there was more to the story. One really has to wonder if these kinds of infections are what killed off the people in Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot’s Wife did not merely look back, but returned to these types of behaviors.
But But But Gays are exactly like heterosexuals and they are loving couples, and should be adopting kids and married and I’m sure they aren’t being promiscuous, or performing strange sex acts with many many partners a month so this medical evidence and common sense must be inaccurate.
The toxic brew served up in a single glass of KTM tapwater is guaranteed to kill the average 1st World visitor just as effectively as ebola.
This abomination threatens all of us.
Take a look at the WHO statistics for Nepal.
Resistant staph is much more likely to be found in the homosexual population.
The average homosexual is treated much more often for VD, the treatment of course is penicillin which always wipes out whatever ordinary staph the patient may have in their system.
The gay body is the ideal testtube for this kind of super-resistant bug.
Back in the 80s when aids was just becoming popular, I spoke with an elderly doctor about it. According to this doctor, homosexual men have been getting mysteriously sick and dying of unknown and rare bugs for a long time before HIV was isolated. I would think that long after aids is no longer a problem, the same kind of thing will continue with MRSA.
ALL sin is the wages of death. It’s just that some sins carry some nasty temporal consequences that hasten death.
No thanks.
I’m eating right now.
MRSA is nasty and it can take out relatively healthy people. It is a big problem at hospitals in America and the UK. It is underreported because hospitals are not required to report it to CDC or the public. But privately among doctors/staff it is a huge problem. There’s only one drug that can knock it out and it’s only a matter of time before it mutates to be able to deal with that.
Yeah, Iran, that’s always where I look to for a good example. /sarc
