Is sex ed working? Risky gay sex increasing as well as HIV infections

[novasteve]

So what? Once it is in the straight community, it is all on straight people when they spread it around the straight community.




How many married gay couples would spread AIDS if they did not cheat on their spouses?

Thanks for providing a reason to allow gays to married. It is scientific fact that married people have a lower rate of STDs.

But IF there is infidelity in a married relationship, then there's more likelihood of STD infection due to the reduced odds of condoms being used. Infidelity is pretty common.

Yes. This is common sense. So what are you trying to prove with respect to gays? Since married people have a lower rate of STDs than unmarried people, this would be a strong argument for allowing gays to get married.

Here is something to digest: More Midlife (and Older) STDs

Whatever the cause — Viagra, midlife divorce, online dating or simple ignorance — studies suggest that STDs are no longer just an affliction of the young. A study published online last week by the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections adds to that growing body of evidence. Researchers at England's West Midlands Health Protection Agency found that in less than a decade, STD rates had more than doubled among people ages 45 and older.

Are you suggesting that not being able to marry causes gays to be very promiscuous in their 20s and 30s? Only marriage can stop promiscuity and not a desire to not be promiscuous?

Okay, a question for the liberals on here. Given this news, do you think gay men should be allowed to donate blood? I've provided several links with groups demanding gays be allowed to donate blood. In light of this news, what do you think?

I have provided plenty of evidence which proves heterosexuals are just as irresponsible sexually as you are trying to portray homosexuals as. Your naked bigotry is pathetic.

There is an HPV epidemic going on right now that is much more widespread than the AIDS epidemic, and that HPV epidemic is all on heterosexuals.

There has also been a rise in the incidence of syphilis and gonorrhea among heterosexuals to the point there is only one drug left that is effective against gonorrhea.

Eventually that disease will be immune to that last drug, and then heterosexuals will see a rebirth of a centuries old sexual plague.

So this sick little obsession you bigots have with gays, and your twisted glee over their deaths is very narrow sighted, as all things bigoted are.

Do you know what the HPV epidemic is doing to the gay community? A drastic increase in the numbers of anal cancers.

All donated blood is tested for AIDS, hepatitis, and other diseases. Don't be such a bigoted little prick.

Donation FAQs | American Red Cross


Is it true that I can get a free AIDS test when I donate blood?

You should not give blood to get tested for AIDS. Using blood donation as a way to get tested could put the blood supply at risk and endanger patients. HIV antibodies may take a few weeks to develop after infection with the virus. If you were recently infected, you might have a negative test result, yet be able to infect the recipient of your donation. That is why you must not give blood if you are at risk of getting AIDS or other infectious diseases. Individuals at risk for contracting HIV should contact their local health department for AIDS testing.

Just like it is causing cervical cancer in women with HPV.

Since straights have always been able to marry why then would they be having so many STDs if your argument is that gay marriage will reduce gay STD infection rates?

Also they are mandating HPV vaccines. So why can't they mandate that gays use condoms to reduce HIV transmission? It's a lot less intrusive to be told to use a condom than take an injected vaccination, the health risks of which are not fully known.

Are you really this stupid?

I said THE BLOOD is tested, not the donor. If the blood tests positive, they attempt to notify the donor.

Because the blood is tested, some people use donating blood as a way to test themselves. That's what the FAQ was in response to. They are saying that is not how you should test yourself.

So you just proved what I said but are too stupid to realize it.

And that still does nothing as the antibodies won't show up for weeks, so the person who gets the donated blood will get infected with HIV.

According to this source that is true

Q: how many days after hiv virus Show up I A blood?
A: hiv becomes positive in the blood after 6-12 weeks of its transmission. Very rarely, it takes 6 months to become positive in tests. First symptoms of hiv appear after 4-6 weeks after transmission that disappear after few days. after this, hiv become dormant for many years depending upon your immunity and may develop in to AIDS after many years with an average of 10-12 years....

Why are you calling me a bigot anyways? Is that like when Randy Shilts was called a "gay uncle tom" for not denying reality? Why he was spat on for wanting to reduce HIV infections by closing down bath houses?

I know you think you sound smart, but no one gets AIDS from donated blood any more. The screening process is very effective.

Perhaps liberals should treat gays like they treat smokers? Oh wait, that would be bigotry!

It would probably be sodomy too.

That's because of the system they use, which bans gay men from donating blood. If they allowed gay men to donate blood, the risk of getting HIV from blood donations would increase because of the time it takes for HIV to become apparent in a blood test.

An Alabama man has filed a lawsuit against a Florida blood bank, charging that a transfusion during a heart bypass surgery infected him with HIV.
The lawsuit alleges that the contaminated blood given to Howard Midkiff came from the Alabama branch of LifeSouth Community Blood Centers.
The blood contaminated with HIV was collected by LifeSouth from ‘John Doe’ on October 14, 2010, according to the lawsuit.

I find it telling that the topic asks, "Is sex education working?" and then focuses solely on the behavior of homosexual men.

This is not an attempt to find out if sex ed is working, or the sexual behavior of all humans would be examined.

This is just another gay bashing topic by yet another homophobe.

You people are really transparent.

was Randy Shilts a homophobe?

Unless you were born under a rock, you know you're supposed to use condoms. So why are gay men increasingly not using them despite the obvious extra risks they face?

 

[Lakhota]

Does the South have a problem with condoms...or sex education...or both?

Teen pregnancies have fallen to record lows. But according to a new report from Guttmacher Institute that breaks out data by each state, the decline is uneven across the country. New Mexico had the highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation in 2008 (the latest available data), followed by Mississippi, Texas, Nevada, Arkansas, and Arizona:

You really have to wonder if there is a relationship between homosexuality and insanity when gay men continue to engage in risky and often violent and bloody unprotected sex and then whine to their nearest free clinic when they develop some rare form of cancer and test positive for AIDS.
