SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A significant rise in syphilis infections is being driven by gay men having unprotected sex with multiple partners, according to city public health officials.

At 116 reported infections this year through September, the caseload may not be overwhelming -- but the rise is precipitous. The city's department of public health reported just 39 cases in 1998, 47 in 1999 and 71 in 2000.

The study suggests the rise comes because gay and bisexual men are having unprotected sex with unfamiliar partners they meet in sex clubs and adult bookstores, and on the Internet. The 93 men reported having 1,225 sexual partners and could identify only 8 percent of them by name.

Thats sex with about 13 strangers per year and only knowing the name of one. Creepy.

That's not creepy, that's absolutely tragic.
I cannot understand how people play `russian roulette' with their bodies like that. It's very, very sad really.

Sadly like AIDS - this disease is being driven by Gay, Bi, and IV Drug Users.

Valid "alternative life style" currently taught in government schools. Sickeningly pathetic.

Expect them to be out in the streets shortly demanding that you pay for the 'war on syphilis.'

They're very sick and twisted. I heard a report on the radio the other day about some who are very proud to have AIDS. Going so far as to have an HIV-POS tattoo on their arm.

This story in the S.F. Chronicle yesterday blamed AOL for not putting syphilis warnings in their gay chat rooms.

*I'll try and find that article again.

Yes, and in the name of faking it as an acceptable lifestyle, the media feins its suprise that such behavior leads to such a result. Gay or not, having sex with over one stranger a month, and knowing the name of only one, is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Another reason I should agree to having the sodomites teach "fisting" to my children.

Yes, Yes. I've heard that too. Talk about totally absolving yourself of all responsibility. Any high school student after one health class knows (or used to know) that this behavior will lead to those results.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that can be treated with penicillin. The telltale sore often goes unnoticed, however, and over time, it can damage organs.

The brain, it seems, is the first. That would explain the many "Log-Cabin" types and their enablers here, and elsewhere.

Seriously, though, if we really hated them, we would encourage them to keep their lifestyle and live to the grand old average age of 42, that is the norm for male homosexuals.

You're exactly right. But of course we know that. They know that too. But anyone that practices such a twisted and disgusting lifestyle has to feel guilty. Our demonization just happens to be a handy outlet for them to focus their guilt.
