HIVPlusMag ^ | October 8, 2019 | David Artavia

Posted on 10/09/2019 2:36:37 AM PDT by fwdude

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released its 2018 STD Surveillance report, which revealed that after five straight years of dramatic increases, the Unites States saw an all-time high of sexual transmitted illness rates.

In a nutshell, the report revealed that there were 1.8 million cases of chlamydia in 2018 (a 19 percent increase since 2014); 583,405 cases of gonorrhea (a 63 percent increase since 2014); 35,063 cases in primary and secondary syphilis (a 71 percent increase since 2014); and 1,306 cases of congenital syphilis (a 185 percent increase since 2014).

Don’t believe the purported reason for the dramatic uptick in STD’s. The graph doesn’t illustrate dramatic cuts in “funding” which would explain the meteoric rise in diseases.

Our disease is a moral one.

There’s never a shortage of cognitive dissonance and outright hypocrisy from the political gay movement, in this case represented by this hivplus magazine . They report that sexual diseases are skyrocketing, but would never, ever look at themselves for an explanation

According to a press release from the National Coalition of STD Directors, the drastic increases are largely due to federal, state, and local funding cutbacks resulting in a “public health infrastructure that is ill-equipped to handle this growing public health threat.” …
Absolutely correct it is not this. It’s the increase in immoral behavior that creates the “public health threat” that nobody who engages in this behavior is exposed to.

And just who is the “National Coalition of STD Directors” and why does it exist?
Promoting Health Equity. NCSD seeks to ensure that disproportionally affected communities—those at the heart of the U.S. STD epidemic—are the focus of STD programs and services and receive the most attention and support.
Their website claims that they have an “amazing staff” and “fantastic board” as well.

True. You have to drill down into the referenced CDC report to see that homosexual men have overwhelmingly driven these rates through the stratosphere.

And this is after “gay marriage” was imposed unwillingly on the country, something that was supposed to tame the culture which resulted in this problem.

Can’t imagine why unless it’s part of the blessings we’re receiving from God in return for our blessing Israel so much.

But schools and docs are pushing the HPV vaccine and abortion on demand/morning after pills as the cure for ever needing to wear condoms.

California is pushing AIDS Pride as a reason (fear of stigmatizing) for protecting those with HIV from having to disclose their disease status to potential sex partners. Informed consent? Who needs THAT???

Homofascists like Kate Millett’s stated goal was to SMASH MONOGAMY, SMASH THEY PATRIARCHY, and destroy the institution of marriage. Her text Sexual Politics is still taught in schools.

To paraphrase a wonderful old Freeper tagline,
"morals may be relative, but the diseases that result from 'moral relativism' are absolute."

Individual irresponsibility, like aids this disease hasn’t stopped anyone from engaging they know the government is there to provide medications and a cure while they continue to be irresponsible. Commercial on TV for a drug to manage HIV literally and nonchalantly states that it will mask the disease. What is this telling those who are not infected?

Homofascists also want to lift the stigma of men who have sex with men from blood donation. Mask your symptoms below measurable levels, and pass it along to the general population,

The hysteria about heterosexual AIDS never manifested into reality and some want to “share the love”.

“According to a press release from the National Coalition of STD Directors, the drastic increases are largely due to federal, state, and local funding cutbacks resulting in a “public health infrastructure that is ill-equipped to handle this growing public health threat.” …

Using the logic in this article, should not the government (taxpayers) be providing me with ammo, fishing lures, maybe a new boat and motor?

Gee, I sure am glad we “liberated” ourselves from all those obsolete sexual mores.

Promiscuity among the young male homosexual community is to blame.

Gee, I wonder why the CDC press release on this didn’t manage to say anything about the demographic responsible for the big rise in STD rates?
