The HIV Infection Rate Has Doubled in the Gay Community
New research shows that HIV has grown in the gay community in the last 20 years. This increase appears to be the result of the gay community being misled by drug companies. New drugs have been on the market that have been promoting unsafe sex, leading the HIV rate to skyrocket in this demographic. Since 1990, the number of homosexuals with HIV has doubled.
The research shows that between 1990 and 2010 fewer people were using condoms. This then led to a 26 percent increase in the rate of unprotected sex among homosexuals. During the time of decreased condom use, the rate of HIV infections increased by 76 percent. It is believed that the use of condoms dropped in response to the availability of antiretroviral drugs that are used to treat HIV.
Andrew Phillips, who is a professor at the University College London says, “We created a model reconstructing the HIV epidemic in men who have sex with men in the UK. In doing so, we were able to explore the interplay between HIV testing rates, antiretroviral (ART) treatment and sexual behaviour on HIV transmission and incidence. By better understanding the driving forces behind the trends we have seen in the past, it will allow us to make informed choices to reduce new HIV infections in the future.”
Now to combat the spread of the disease, researchers and experts are saying that there need to be earlier and most frequent HIV testing done on people who could be at risk for the illness. Everyone who is sexually active should still use condoms, even if they are taking medication or if they have been previously tested.

How about people quit having sex with people they aren’t married to? How about having a monogamous relationship? Yes, yes. It is definitely the fault of the drug companies that gays are getting AIDS, it has NOTHING to do with the fact they’re screwing everything that will drop their pants. How about people start taking responsibility for their d@mn behavior? Until people do THAT, they will continue to destroy themselves.

This day in age! It still amazes me that people are still pointing fingers at (Sin) really one less or more does not matter! Man & Woman sinned first so whatever else plaqued the earth was already in motion to spread. Man always gonna point a finger at someone else because he ain’t man enough to face his or her on actions (meaning) flesh! Don’t you get it! Your body is a temple that was creatd and built by God. The day you sin with your body you start tearing down the temple. So who’s the blame for AIDS each and every living soul that has sin with their human body under God laws.

I got the impression that this was about the US until they quoted someone from London in the article.

Please remember that sickness finds people, not the other way around. Irrespective of lifestyle or perceived self-righteousness, nobody is truly safe. So, instead of pointing fingers at anyone, let us pray for God to have mercy on the sinful human race. After all, in God’s eyes, everyone has skeletons (jealousy, greed, selfishness, adultery, lust, etc.) in his or her closets.

Actually, H. James Roseau, that “one size fits all” description does not apply to all people when it comes to how some of us live our lives. You must know that some people are still virgins, are actively celibate and have remained faithful to our spouses.
Some people actually have very little in their personal “Pandora’s Closets” and actually practice what they preach!!! These mantras “that everyone’s doing it or “everyone does this or that” are just excuses to EXCUSE abominable behavior that ALL of us end up paying for either through our intimate liaisons with these people, exorbitant health care costs for rampant STDs and STIs, lack of respect for the sanctity of marriage, the marriage bed and monogamy, the promulgation of the gay lifestyle WHICH INCLUDES gay sexuality and all of the deviance and disease that comes along with it, and the general lack of morality and incivility that has morphed our country into a secular amalgamation of depravity that affects everyone from cradle to grave!!!!!!
You are right in a sense, though. No human being is perfect. But does that mean that we should not aspire to be our best selves and live Godly lives just because the fellow next door, or down the block or in the adjacent cubicle is surfing porn, cheating on his spouse, or screwing the female or (male) staffer in the same department or because we may sometimes “fall short” in the eyes of the Heavenly Father?
YES,EVERYONE MAY SIN IN THE EYES OF GOD, BUT ALL SIN IS NOT CREATED EQUALLY AND SOME KINDS ADD UNTOLD BURDENS AND COSTS TO OUR FAMILY, SOCIAL, AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS!!!
So, do yourself and others a favor and stop trying to justify things that even you must know will lead to the further desecration of our traditional mores and lead to increased secularism that will incur the wrath of God where not just the guilty or worst sinful will suffer, but those of us who are not culpable for this quagmire will suffer by no fault of our own!
As human beings, we are either part of the problem or the solution. Every time we fail to speak up for what we believe is not in the quintessential interest of a healthy and spiritually reaffirming culture is a slap in the face to our Creator.
Sadly, more people are MORE LOYAL to people like President Obama and the Godless, Gay Rights affirming, abortion loving and “never met an illegal immigrant that should not be an American citizen” Democrats than they are to the LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY!!
And, my “friend-in-Christ”, that speaks volumes about the kind of country we live in and where we are headed in the future. So, tighten your seatbelt and pray that you will not be thrown over the cliff into “spiritual Armageddon” like so many others in this God forsaken country !!!
