ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A recent spike in HIV infections has been linked to military men in Fairbanks.

The Anchorage Daily News (http://bit.ly/ybxrzi ) says newly-released public health data shows that the increase is linked to military men finding sex partners online.

Data shows that the outbreak involves nine cases of HIV infection from Jan. 1, of last year to Jan. 31 of this year.

The state Department of Health and Social Services says from 2007 through 2010, the number of HIV cases reported in the Fairbanks area was fairly stable.

However, that changed this last year. Health officials say of the nine people infected last year, eight were men who had sex with other men. Seven were either in the Army in Fairbanks or had sexual partners in the military.

The very next president needs to repeal the repeal of DADT, then repeal DADT and go back to "Ask, and if the answer is wrong, OUT THE FREAKING DOOR!"

and yet again the MSM will shut up about this, the GOP will say nothing and the sheep just sit there thinking the queer agenda is alright because they have a pal who is a homo and they’re nice.

sigh.

Get back to how the military was, no PC, no homosexuals and promote those who deserve it not because of their liberal , homo , race, gender etc

Probably all sexed the same local woman with HIV.

Probably not. The likelihood of a woman transmitting HIV is extremely small (possible through open wounds, but very unlikely). The most common pathway to acquiring AIDS is through the injection of tainted fluid into the recipient's body.

The real problem is homosexuals in the military.

But... HIV isn't a "gay" disease. Or so we're always told. /sarc

and this is just in one place, now what are the figures in the military in every branch and this alone is good enough to get rid of letting homosexuals serve openly.

Honestly, though, I’m shocked that the article actually mentioned that most cases were the result of homo behavior.

"...the GOP will say nothing..."

One candidate is talking about these issues, and is being criticized for doing so...

The military can overcome just about anything but the
open infiltration of the stool-pushers union.

I didn’t know Santorum said he would ban openly serving homosexuals, when did he say it please?

I know he is against it from his views as should all on the right and most on the left but never heard him say that

There’s absolutely no chance that will happen unless we get a conservative into the White House.

"I didn’t know Santorum said he would ban openly serving homosexuals, when did he say it please?"

Did you miss the debate last September when the Obama DoD implemented the repeal of DADT? There was the YouTube question from the gay soldier:

MEGYN KELLY of Fox News: So what -- what -- what would you do with soldiers like Stephen Hill? I mean, he's — now he's out. He's — you know, you saw his face on camera. When he first submitted this video to us, it was without his face on camera. Now he's out. So what would you do as president?

SANTORUM: I think it's -- it's -- it's -- look, what we're doing is playing social experimentation with -- with our military right now. And that's tragic.

I would -- I would just say that, going forward, we would -- we would reinstitute that policy, if Rick Santorum was president, period.

That policy would be reinstituted. And as far as people who are in -- in -- I would not throw them out, because that would be unfair to them because of the policy of this administration, but we would move forward in -- in conformity with what was happening in the past, which was, sex is not an issue. It is -- it should not be an issue. Leave it alone, keep it -- keep it to yourself, whether you’re a heterosexual or a homosexual.
