Virus Transmits much more Easily Via Anal Intercourse, Research Shows

New research pinpoints a major reason why gay and bisexual men remain so vulnerable to the AIDS epidemic: When it comes to the transmission of HIV, a man who has unprotected anal intercourse is at especially high risk.

In fact, if that kind of intercourse was only as risky as vaginal intercourse, researchers report, HIV cases among gay and bisexual men would shrink dramatically. It would go down even more, they added, if their rates of casual sex declined.

[. . . ] According to UNAIDS, HIV is more common among gay and bisexual men than adults in general in all areas of the world, even Africa. In North America, an estimated 15 percent of gay and bisexual men are infected with HIV; the rate is the highest, 25 percent, in the Caribbean.

Previous research has shown that being on the receiving end of anal intercourse is equally risky whether you're a man or a woman. The risk was estimated at 1.4 percent per sex act with an infected person -- about 18 times more risky than male-to-female vaginal intercourse.

“Biology” has nothing to do with it. Aberrant behavior has everything to do with it." But they were "born that way", don't ya know. So please hush up about their behavior, you might make them feel bad with your bigotry.

Toilet water is the same as tap water,

"Well, I've never seen no plants grow out of no toilet."

[scottjewell]

Yeah, why the double standard? gee, i wonder...

Saying homosexuals are more prone to AIDS due to biological factors is like saying those that jump off buildings have a biological issue with gravity.

Actually, it was taxpayer money used to do their damnedest to try and change facts. Democrats desperately need to remove the stigma of HIV AIDS as a gay disease. It doesn't bode well with their campaign to normalize queer behavior to gain votes and it doesn't sit well with their atheist constituents, either.

This begs the question: What is “protected” anal intercourse?

[Boiler Plate]

Maybe they should take Physics instead.

So it IS a sh!tty little virus.

Hint to ‘mos: don’t do what aint natchel. Leave the fudge packin to Hershey’s.

Sheesh.

I was listening to the WAAF morning show on Monday and they were refuting any scientific fact that linked Gay Sex as “the gateway to AIDS”. None of the hosts were even alive in the 1980’s and the last 20 years of the Gay Agenda has erased the truth of the 80’s. They knew it was killing them by the thousands. But they couldn’t stop. I know a nice guy who had to raise his grand kids because his Flight Attendant son gave it to his wife and they both died within a year.

Biology? People engage in a behavior the body was not mean for and the problem is biology? Can you buy a clue? The next step would be doing this for many different people. I guess that's biology's fault also.

And leftists dismiss the bible...

Rom 1:27
27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.

"Well, I've never seen no plants grow out of no toilet."

Take a drive through the back roads down south. You'll see plenty of toilets with plants growing out of them, usually decoratively set up in the front yard.

The headline is wrong, a gay’s biology is no different
than anyone elses. It’s their behavour that makes them
vulnerable and their behavour IS something that they
could change.

LOL

Our cat drinks out of the toilet several times a day, and he is 12 years old.

[Tanniker Smith]

"being on the receiving end"

That's one way of putting it.

[Secret Agent Man]

If liberals approached AIDS the same way they do guns, they’d call for a total ban and destruction of all homosexuals.

[pallis]

One man’s pedanticness is another’s eruditeness.

[scottjewell]

Riiiight. Funny ain’t it, how they pick and choose?
