You bad old redneck Freepers ... your homophobia, transphobia, racism and general discomfort with public discussion is causing AIDS to spread ... along with help from global warming, of course!

An issue brief published on Tuesday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control claimed that that Southerners' "racism," and "homophobia" may be causing high HIV rates in the South that are disproportionately high among African-Americans and homosexuals.

The CDC claims that one of the "factors driving the Southern HIV epidemic" could be the apparent bigotry of Southerners.
"Issues such as homophobia and transphobia, racism, and general discomfort with public discussion of sexuality may be more widespread in the South and can lead to higher levels of stigma," the CDC claims. And increased levels of stigma - according to the CDC brief - "may limit people’s willingness to seek HIV testing, care, or prevention services."

Pasteur, joins the Founding fathers, & rolls in his grave
at this nonsense.
I’m feeling guiltier by the minute.
I am disappointed, very, in the CDC.
Gee I feel so guilty, I make gay men have unprotected sex more. I utterly idiotic
Everybody knows HIV is caused by climate change.
The cause of HIV/AIDS is generally a person’s behavior.
Southerners have nothing to be ashamed of and trying to lay blame on them just demonstrates how poorly Progressives think, even sinking to calling people names.
Wtf?
We are living in a world in which “the people of the lie” have come out of the closet and are boldly proclaiming their lies as the Truth.
Excellent comment
Since a lot of blacks live in the South, and especially in the cities where I assume HIV rates are highest, maybe this article is referring to black southerners’ racism and homophobia.
You’re wrong. It’s Reagan’s fault!
“The CDC claims that one of the “factors driving the Southern HIV epidemic” could be the apparent bigotry of Southerners. “
So HIV is transmitted by other people’s bigotry and not by sticking your unprotected junk where it doesnt belong? Also MORALITY isnt bigotry.
Actually, sticking you penis into hundreds of rectums of other men causes HIV infection.
African Americans have the highest percentage of HIV diagnoses in the South, Northeast, and Midwest, and Hispanics/Latinos have the highest percentage in the West.

So what explains the Northeast and Midwest?
A lot of stupid lazy ignorant and messed up people do stuff that brings them disease and suffering, and someone else minding their own business has to be blamed.
It’s interesting that all this supposed social pressure isn’t stopping them from the destructive behavior. Also don’t we live in an age of greater permissiveness and acceptance? Gay marriage? Releasing druggies from prison? Guess the CDC missed those trends.
Emboldened and encouraged by a lying sociopath who feels absolutely no guilt telling them
The CDC needs to join the EPA on the ash-heap of history.
I’ve read that “racism” can now be traced back to the cause of the common cold as well. Who knew?
