TUEBINGEN, June 16, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A study by researchers at the University of Tuebingen in Germany has found that anal sex, both homosexual and heterosexual, is the second largest cause of HIV transmission in Africa. Transmission in medical settings, such as through dirty needles, is listed as the primary cause, says the study published in the current edition of The Journal of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Aids.

In a finding which has HIV/AIDS activists on edge, the researchers, say vaginal transmission of HIV is a very distant third compared to medical transmission and transmission through anal sex.

The report's author Dr. Stuart Brody, of the Institute of Medical Psychology and Behavioural Neurobiology, said people in Africa need to be told that anal sex poses a greater risk of transmitting the Aids virus.

[Mr. K]

so whgich is it? is it the largest or second largest?
I have been saying for years that used needles was the biggest cause- anal sex is 2nd (by a large margin I suspect) and vaginal is a "distant 3rd".

So what they hell are we doing spending 15 BILLION dollars? How many clean needles could we buy for 1 Billion?we could probably build a needle factory for a few mill...

This won't go over well with the passage of legalized gay mairrages in Canada (O-Canada).

Many Log Cabin (gay) FReepers will be quite depressed.

And queers are pushing Dubya to support gay mairrages in the U.S. as well (vote pressure).

If it's true in Africa, it's true in the rest of the world - the anus was not intended for sexual purposes.

The march to Sodom continues . . .

Oh Oh Oh. First love in sex kills you, but what kills you most are doctors who love you and provide you free health care. There, get a vaccine, catch AIDS. Makes a lot of sense.

Didn't the Bible say some of us would rather be dead than seeing this?

[JudgemAll]

Homosexuals costing U.S. 15 billion dollars.

Yes and no, it depends. If they die early, it will save us social security.

And this is supposed to be a surprise?

[Ready4Freddy]

According to the article, it's the 2nd largest cause, altho miltonim's title says otherwise.

Perhaps the admin can edit the title for accuracy's sake?

"If it's true in Africa..."

Unfortunately, heterosexual anal sex is commonly used for contraceptive purposes in backward (heheheh :) countries.

[Happy2BMe]

Well, sir - it's a FACT: QUEERS and AIDS are inseperable.

I always thought that was an exit, not an entrance!!!

[not-an-ostrich]

If the primary cause is "medical" or dirty needles it would seem the huge problem is drugs and not sex. Perhaps the focus of prevention should be changed.

[not-an-ostrich]

Also appears this is another fabricated headline for FR. Article in fact says anal sex is 2nd, not 1st primary cause.

"heheheh?"

That's a fully qualified "LOL," IMO.

Homosexuality is deviant sexual behavior and a mental illness.

Homosexuals: 1) subject their body parts to uses nature did not intend, such activities often presenting immediate risk to the participants; 2) are prone to greater suicide, depression and other mental disorders and deficiencies than the heterosexual population at large; 3) are prone to far greater sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS, than the (normal) heterosexual population; 4) molest young people (pedophilia) at a far greater rate than heterosexuals; 5) engage in degrading sexual promiscuity, oftentimes engaging in risky sex with many partners during the same event; 6) are engaged in aggressive and widespread efforts to indoctrinate our children by introducing the homosexual lifestyle using public schools as the primary indoctrination “vehicle” and likewise, through the movie/music/TV industry, with the dual goals of gaining school-age acceptance of homosexuality and encouraging sexual activity among children, especially same-sex experimentation; 7) view most everything through a mindset heavily biased in favor of the homosexual lifestyle and culture, which renders them mostly useless when asked to opine on matters that normal heterosexuals better resolve.

The mental deficiencies described herein applying to homosexuals shall not be confused with the deficiencies associated with the left wing democrat/socialist/Marxist/ feminist/environmentalists, etc., mind, which have their own distinct set of mental disorders.

This doesn't even touch on what the Bible has to say about homosexuality.

I read that anal sex was the culprit.

That is a practice that homo and hetro men both participate in.

God only knows why.

[oceanperch]

I cannot for the life of me understand any pleasure for the recipeant of this practice.

I will not allow my gyn to do this I make that clear every year. When I had to be put out for my hysterectomy I told the gyn to knock himself out checking while I was asleep cause he is not gonna ever do it while I am awake.

Isn't this a practice of rapists too.

I agree with you no innees in an outey.

How can this be? Certainly the noble natives of the dark continent would not be at fault with any of this? They must imedietly appeal to the international community for the sake's of their dictators - in order for them to reap offerings from the evil western white-dominated societies who no doubt infest their simple and genteel cultures with such devilish diseases.

[oceanperch]

That was a long eye boggling post.

Common sense should prevail. The tears and fissures that result in this activity are breeding grounds that lead to infection.

There is a reason we wash our hand after using the potty. Bacteria that is spread to food by unwashed hands resulting in resteraunt related hepatitis.

Why in the hell put your ureatha into a cesspool to phrase it kindly.

Maybe aids is a result of multiple anal partners due to all the different bacteria being dipped into. Mix all that up and you get a super bacteria that morphs from hepetitis to the HIV or Aids strength strain.

To add to the pot a bleeding bowel.
