On Jan. 8, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that gonorrhea and syphilis are on the rise in the United States – “mostly in men who have sex with men.”
In 2012, the rate of new gonorrhea cases rose by 4 percent. The rate of new cases of syphilis jumped 11 percent.
Bloomberg quoted Gail Bolan, director of the CDC’s Sexually Transmitted Disease Prevention Division, who declared:
“Many people don’t get tested as recommended. That’s especially the case for syphilis – where the rise is entirely attributable to men – particularly those who are gay or bisexual.”
And this report went on to disclose:
“Sexually transmitted diseases … cost the U.S. health-care system about $16 billion every year.”
Dr. George Rutherford, professor of epidemiology at the University of California at San Francisco, noted the following:
“With most of these populations, having a sexually transmitted disease from having sex with another man is highly stigmatized. They’d rather not get tested for HIV, syphilis, or whatever. They don’t want it to show up on their records.”
This Bloomberg news story also reported:
“A November study from U.S. health officials found a 20 percent rise in unprotected sex among gay men – with sexual risks highest for those who haven’t been tested for HIV.
“An analysis of data by the CDC from 20 major U.S. cities found that the number of men who reported having unprotected anal sex in the past year rose in 2011 from 2005.”
This report also disclosed:
“Men who didn’t know they were HIV positive were more than twice as likely to have sex with someone who wasn’t infected, compared with those who knew their HIV status.”

One of the big reasons for all the hoopla about “healthcare” among young folks. Expensive to cure STDs. Totally ignored by the MSM.
Back in my day no 20-something gave a rip about “healthcare” costs.
Easy to answer the question in the title. Because gay men are notorious for having multiple sex partners.
Failing their Wasserman-Schultz?
I learned about this a few years back when the idea about repealing the blood donation ban on gay/bi men started being bandied about. I checked the CDC’s own numbers for HIV infection rates and in the process was surprised to also find out that the rate of new syphilis infections for gay men (relative to the general pop) was as exponentially great as it was for HIV.
when you run in the sewer you get stuff on you.
They are dripping in the hospital emergency rooms, pushed there by Obamacare.
I have said for years — to friends and more than a few radio audiences — that the homosexual community wants the legal right to perform in public acts for which a heterosexual couple would — and should — be arrested for indecency. If you’ve ever seen the images of how the queers in Frisco and New Orleans behave during their periodic “celebrations” of their “deathstyle,” it has already happened there. The next two years will give the Nancy Pelosi crowd a chance to federalize their deathstyle.
I really don’t care HOW they got to where they are — recruited or via genetic predisposition — in their genitalia worship (and that’s what it is), I just don’t want them demonstrating their explicit sexual behavior in front of our kids and grandkids. ADULT homosexuals have the same right as the rest of us to do nearly whatever they wish IN THE BEDROOM, where it belongs.
Why do I call it a “deathstyle?” For over 20 years, my wife was a member of a well-known ladies chorus. One of their first directors was a gifted musician who also happened to be openly homosexual. He died a slow, agonizing death — at age 43 — of AIDS. How “gay” could THAT be? Most homosexuals — many of whom have as many as several hundred unprotected encounters a year — ARE dead at an early age of HIV infections which explains why there are so few OLD homosexuals. And even that “protection” ain’t. With even the condom manufacturers admitting to a 20% failure rate, it’s akin to playing Russian roulette with your willie.
Bill Clinton’s CDC released figures a few years ago reflecting that fully 85% of all AIDS/HIV cases are
1. Active, non-monogamous homosexuals, (the largest subset)
2. Heterosexuals and bisexuals who have had sex with group 1 and
3. IV drug abusers who share needles.
(Kinda gives new meaning to Romans 6:23, doesn’t it?)
The remaining 15% are those who have contracted AIDS via other, non-sexual/non-drug means SUCH AS TRANSFUSIONS OF TAINTED BLOOD (which one homosexual “leader” on the West Coast URGED his fellow homosexuals to CONTINUE to attempt to contaminate in order to involve the straight community in the push to increase federal funding for AIDS research).
What a guy — er — GAY!
Don’t forget, the U.S. during Clinton’s time sent tainted homosexual blood to Canada.
Homos are sashaying Petri dishes.
That explains the truckloads of “Thank You” notes from Canadians piled up in the driveway of the White House back them.
