Yet another new epidemic among gay men in San Francisco - in addition to syphilis

[americalost]

"only 8 percent of whom they could identify by name"

Uhm.

This is amazing news in light of the fact the bath houses were never closed down for more than a few weeks since the onset of aides. It's been a group free-for-all for the last 15 years that I know of.

In the early 80s it was not unusual for men to have upwards of twenty-five partners in a weekend at those bath houses. Imagine the sexual contacts chart on these people. One person becomes 25 becomes 625 becomes 15,625 becomes 390,625 becomes 9,765,625 in one five weekend month. Obviously those figures won't hold up since they dwarf the available partners in under a month, but the implications are clear.

If you were a gay player in the early 80s you were exposed to aides and everything else. I don't think much has changed in that department.

[concerned about politics]

So?
If they kill each other off, hey, no big deal.

[rockfish59]

fudgepackers delight! they are sickening pigs, and that's an insult to the pigs!

buncha damned homos! (hank hill)

[Terriergal]

And this is news?

[Lazamataz]

Feh.

AIDS is passé.

Only anthrax gets me to wear a ribbon any more.

[oldvike]

You can thank Magic Johnson for this. He came out publicly with AIDS and now is the picture of health. Therefore, all the homos think they can contract the disease and live a healthy life just like him.

[A CA Guy]

It's a sick community they have. Bad stuff!

[dennis1x]

Never overestimate the intelligence of a butt pirate.

[Sabertooth]

"Of those 116 cases, 93 patients were homosexual or bisexual men who reporting having a total of 1,225 sexual partners, only 8 percent of whom they could identify by name."

What was the name?

Because it's all his fault.

[Monitor]

No need to add chlorine - the gene pool is self cleansing.

Ok, who has the box of Darwin awards to hand out to these people?

[goodieD]

There have never been ANY deterrents to gay men having sex. To them, sex is always worth dying for.

[Outrance]

They are just like us. Living in loving monogamous relationships. The facts are exposing this big lie.

[Bogey78O]

Really the only way we can stop AIDS is by stopping it's spread. If people are irresponsible like this we may have to institute laws one day making it a capital crime to risk spreading it. Punishment being instant death.

[vox1138]

Wait - homos are no longer constrained by fear of AIDS because syphillis is on the rise? Hope herpes doesn't go up, or they'll be further empowered!

[Valin]

The world has certain rules keep them and you stand a good chance of living a long life, break them and chances are you die. Nothing gay about the gay lifestyle.

Twentyfive times in two days(?) not even on my best day as a 19yr old.
I knew a guy who died of AIDS a number of years ago(He became a Christian, then found out he had AIDS). He always said that he was looking for love, someone to love him and was substituting sex for love.

THE SHOCKING NEWS ABOUT THE RED RIBBON!!!!

I recently read something truly shocking about the red AIDS ribbon:

It's not working!!!

/sarcasm

[Saundra Duffy]

A barf alert would have been nice. I feel sick. Did you hear that AIDS is spreading in China? Maybe the gay folks feel like Armageddon is right around the corner so they may as well go hog wild while they still can. I thought that very thing about chocolate covered peanuts (double dipped) just yesterday but I decided not to eat any in case we survive the week. For victory & freedom!!!

[WhiteGuy]

Go get'em girls!!!
