    Though gays only make up 4% of the population in 2010, they represent 78% of the new cases of HIV/AIDS.

    YOU might use protection, but I'd say that many other gay men don't.

    That is absolutely correct.

    Out of the 40,100 cases in 2010:

    Homosexual men accounted for 28,500 cases
    Heterosexual black men and women accounted for 8,000 cases
    Heterosexual white and Hispanic women accounted for 2,500 cases
    Black male Injected Drug Users accounted for 1,100 cases

    That means that heterosexual white and Hispanic women only accounted for 6.2% of those cases.

    I'd say it's not very safe for gay men and AIDS, especially gay white men.

    Show me where I assumed anything. Good god, I was glad you put that article up and I made a comment so that others who may not have read it would know what it's about. You took that as some sort of defensive thing, when it was not. So clarified further in my last post.

    You know what? I'm tired of getting **** on when I actually agree with a post someone made, like you. Don;t know why I bother. Next time I like something you post, I'll just ignore it. And your personal comments were NOT on topic at all.

    You have a history of jumping down peoples throats.. That is what i took your above comment for. You also have a defensive history and try to make comments that have nothign to do with gays about gays. If that was not your intention in the above post then i apologize. If it was your intent then by all means.. Ignore me as you cant handle debate. There is not anything "personal" about you and Hockey. You remind this forum constantly you play hell you repeatedly post an image of it. Nothing to get up set about it would like me complaining about someone mentioning i used to work for UPS ~

    One faked study.....so far.

    I've always been suspicious of studies or polls on this subject and I would bet most of the pro gay Studies are fudged. (no pun intended) We live in a day and age where you get harrassed, and attacked for not being for this...so i dont think people answer these studies and polls with honesty.

    Nice to see one reaffirming what ive been saying. Im sure theres more.

    These guys learned from the Global Warming Liberals that it's about the cause, not about the facts.

    1) It's not a "life style". Gay people have the same diversity of lifestyles as heterosexuals do.

    2) This is a false claim, for several reasons. Being gay <> participation in all or any of the high risk activities cited in this thread. Despite your clear inability to appreciate it, gay people are individuals with a diversity of lifestyles and sexual practices. We don't all have anal sex, and among those that do, it's not necessarily the primary sexual activity. As for HIV/AIDS and the other long list of diseases cited, only a small fraction of the gay population have been infected with any one of these, much less two or more of them. It's not news that researchers have found other high risk behaviors among those infected. That doesn't mean all or most of the gay population is engaging in one or more of the high risk factors cited in this thread. It's also not surprising that you see higher rates of infection where the population is more concentrated in tandem with the demographic in question having a much, much smaller pool of available sexual partners when compared to heterosexuals. In other words, if you trace the path of infection, you don't get a linear representation, but something that more closely resembles a spider's web. This tends to magnify the effect of an outbreak.

    But opponents are rarely interested in anything beyond a statistic that they can divorce from its informative context, in order to use it as a club to bludgeon those they hate.

    I'm personally a lot more likely to die from something like heart/circulatory system diseases or diabetes, than I am something like HIV/AIDS, drug/alcohol abuse, etc. Heck, I probably have a better chance of being gay-bashed to death than I do of catching HIV. But if you we're to believe the ranting of the rabidly anti-gay here, they'd have you think I'm already infected and purposely spreading the disease.

    So don't buy into their hatemongering. They're the ones with an agenda, and it's not a pretty one.

    Even if the likelyhood of contracting HIV (Aids is a condition and cannot be contacted) is elevated among homosexual men it's still miniscule. It can be reduced further by simply not engaging in promiscuity.

    So being homosexual really has very little if anything to do with it.

    Meanwhile back on topic, if the study relies on fabricated follow-up survey results, that's truly sickening, since from what I've read, it was relied upon to frame the approach by those campaigning for marriage equality in Ireland. In other words, gay people stand to be hurt more by this than helped.

    Liars are liars, regardless of their orientation, or "good intentions".

    And this is particularly presumptuous. You don't know anything about the practices of the person you quoted. It's a passive/aggressive personal attack. Shame on you.

    And the idea that spending time with gay people can validate people's stereotypes is even less far fetched.

    Don't for one minute believe that the self supplied sexual identification is honest.

    Many pathologies correlate. The CDC offers up details with a simple google. And you're likely just rationalizing. Enjoy!

    what the dream that the only way to get HIV is to have sex with somebody that has it? Or exchange bodily fluids? Okay. I do feel pretty comfortable in that. Thanks ;)
