ATLANTA (AP) -- A government study found one in five sexually active gay and bisexual men is infected with HIV, and nearly half of those infected don't know they have the disease.
The study is considered the largest to look at urban gay and bisexual men at high risk for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

beinzhow I is a Yokel, I figgered that theyz forgot to make it a plural:
1 in 5 urban gay and bisexual men gots HIV
But your word fits in jess right with either.
Wasn't their a children's book about the city gerbil and the country gerbil?
Good point. I don’t often trust statistics anyway.
I think it was worse 15 years ago...give them time.
Every homosexual man I know is HIV positive...without exception....but I’m older.
Their whole lifestyle is about fellatio(not so dangerous) and anus sex(very dangerous) and they are probably the least responsible sex practitioners known this side of fat white trash girls with their multiple daddy-less mosiac infants..
Yep, make sure you lower your fat intake because we all need to stay healthy.
In a sane world the answer would be “stop doing what helps the disease spread!”
Instead, the answer is, eeeevvvviiiillll normal people are responsible for spreading the disease, and they must be taxed to pay for a cure so the sexual minorities can go ahead and do whatever they want to do.
This terrible injustice will be remedied as soon as we have a sufficiently liberal Democrat president in the Oval Office. Huh? Oh, wait.
Four percent. And that estimate may be high. The prior article I linked says the latest CDC estimate was around 2%.
“Hey - remember the “good ol’ days” when they tried to scare us into thinking this would become a widespread heterosexual disease, too? Heh. Funny how that never happened...”
Reason being: there has never been a recorded case of female-to-male transmission of HIV from vaginal intercourse, in the absence of a pre-existing venerial disease or lesion.
Pretty much puts a stop to the chain.
In this day and age with all the resources dedicated to this situation, you’d think that HIV would be non existent.
Simply practice safe sex, no problems. How am I supposed to be responsible for such irresponsible behavior? There oughta be a limit.
Obligatory “Stop the Lies’ directed at Obama. PING
I’m sure Barney Frank is “chewing over” that fact!
And I’m sure our healthcare premiums reflect that.
AIDS/HIV - One reason the creator made remote ocean islands.
LIBERALS - Why those islands aren’t being used to quarrantine infected homos.
[ Couple this with that PSA they were running on LOGO that said 70% of new cases of HIV are among homosexual or bisexual men and you might think HIV/AIDS has something to do with being gay. Maybe you’d think it was a gay-related disease. A gay-related immunodeficiency disease or syndrome. What would a good acronym for a Gay-Related Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome be?
Huh, it can’t be gay-related. You can just get it by walking down the street and BLAM! You got the AIDS!
It just happens. Like pregnancy. Or bad credit. Or bankruptcy.
It’s probably genetic. ]
Being Gay doesn’t put you at risk of gettign AIDS, Living an out of control lifestyle is what does.
and nearly half of those infected don’t know they have the disease.
Wow...thats a good study. It found people who were sick and didn’t know they were sick! Bet they were surprised....
Wonder if they knew they were homos too?
“Study: 1 in 5 urban gay and bisexual men got HIV”
From the grammar in the title it would appear that the AP has one of those “urban” men either editing or writing for them. One wonders how they attained this information? Did the AP “axe” these young men about their lifestyle choices vs their diseases? One more thing, is my complete lack of GAS about these men racism or homophobia?
Inquiring minds need to “no.”
I thought that was the main draw for the homosexual lifestyle.
[... Living an out of control lifestyle is what does.

It is simply a permission slip to live an irresponsible yet somehow socially “acceptable” lifestyle.
Another data point on why we should do all we can to keep the queers outta uniform.
Besides, it’s hard to find gerbils in a combat zone.
