FREAKY DEAKY FRIDAY - #18

ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY, THERE IS A RESURGENCE IN HIV AMONG MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN:

THERE IS A 12 PERCENT INCREASE AMONG U.S. BOYS AND MEN IN THE 13 – 24 AGE BRACKET

THERE IS A TROUBLING INCREASE IN NEW CASES OF HIV AMONG YOUNG U.S. MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH OTHER MEN, ACCORDING TO HEALTH OFFICIALS.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS USE THE TERM “MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH OTHER MEN” (MSM) BECAUSE MANY OF THESE MEN AREN’T STRICTLY HOMOSEXUAL OR BISEXUAL (OH REALLY, THEN WHAT ARE, EXPERIMENTERS?).

IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT BETWEEN 2001 AND 2006, MALE – TO –MALE SEX WAS THE NUMBER ONE TRANSMISSION CATEGORY OF HIV IN THE U.S., AND THE ONLY CAUSE ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER HIV/AIDS DIAGNOSES, ACCORDING TO A REPORT MADE BY THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION.

THIS SPIKE WAS HIGHEST, AN INCREASE OF 12.4%, AMONG BOYS AND MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH OTHER MALES, MAINLY AMONG ETHNIC MINORITIES.

THE CDC HEALTH OFFICIALS WROTE IN THEIR REPORT, “TO REDUCE TRANSMISSION OF HIV AMONG MSM OF ALL RACES/ETHNICITIES, PREVENTION STRATEGIES SHOULD BE STRENGTHENED, IMPROVED, AND IMPLEMENTED MORE BROADLY” (DOES THIS INCLUDE LEGALIZING SAME-SEX MARRIAGE AND GIVING EVEN MORE PROTECTIONS AND RIGHTS TO HOMOSEXUALS AND LESBIANS?)

INTERESTINGLY, OF THE 214,379 DIAGNOSES DURING THE STUDY PERIOD, 46% OF THE CASES WERE AMONG MSM, WHEREAS THE RATE OF NEW CASES DECLINED IN ALL OTHER TRANSMISSION CATEGORIES – INJECTION DRUG USE, HIGH RISK HETEROSEXUAL CONTACT, AND OTHER MEANS OF TRANSMISSION (WHAT DOES THIS TELL YOU?).

THE SITUATION HAS GOTTEN SO ALARMING THAT COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS, HOSPITALS, AND HEALTH CLINICS ARE CALLING FOR THE MANDATORY HIV/AIDS TESTING OF EVERY ADULT BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18-64 LIVING IN THE BRONX, NY AREA, ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES. THIS DECISION WAS MADE BY THE NEW YORK CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AFTER A RECENT REPORT SHOWS THAT NEW YORK CITY RESIDENTS HAVE THE HIGHEST RATE OF UNSAFE SEX PRACTICES, AND ONE OF THE HIGHEST HIV RATES IN THE U.S.

INSTEAD OF GRANTING MORE RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS TO HOMOSEXUALS AND INSTEAD OF TEACHING OUR CHILDREN IN SCHOOL THAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS JUST ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE LIFE-STYLE TO BE HONORED AND ESTEEMED, INSTEAD OF PRAISING LITTLE JOHNNY WHO LIVES WITH “TWO DADDIES” OR LITTLE MARY WHO HAS “TWO MOMMIES”, PERHAPS IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT WE START ENACTING LAWS TO PROHIBIT THIS VILE BEHAVIOR. INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING THE GAYS AND LESBIANS IN THE FILTHY ‘GAY PRIDE’ DAYS, PERHAPS WE SHOULD BE SPEAKING OUT ABOUT THE NUMBER OF DEATHS AND RUINED LIVES THAT THEIR DESPICABLE LIFE-STYLE IS CAUSING AND THE UNNECESSARY FINANCIAL BURDEN THAT THEY ARE PLACING ON THE REST OF SOCIETY AND THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM BECAUSE OF THEIR UNNATURAL ACTS.

AFTER ALL, DOESN’T THE BIBLE TEACH US THAT THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH?
