CDC: Gay Men 2% of Population But 67% of All New HIV Cases

(CNSNews.com) – Although homosexuals, or men who have sex with men (MSM), make up about 2% of the U.S. population, they account for 67% of “all new HIV diagnoses,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [1](CDC).

In addition, there are about 1.2 million people in the United States with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and an estimated 647,700 (54%) of those people are homosexuals, or MSM.

The 67% of all new HIV cases is for 2013 and the 54% living with HIV is for 2011, the latest years, according to the CDC, for that particular data. [1]

Among some of the other facts about HIV/AIDS, reported by the CDC [2], are:

-- About 50,000 people become newly infected each year in the United States.

-- “More than 14,000 people with AIDS in the United States die each year.”

-- “More than 650,000 people with AIDS in the United States have died” since the epidemic started in the early 1980s.

-- “Men who have sex with men (MSM) remain the group most heavily affected by HIV in the United States.”

-- “White MSM continue to represent the largest number of new HIV infections among MSM (11,200), followed closely by black MSM (10,600)and Hispanic MSM (6,700).”

-- “The number of new infections among the youngest MSM (aged 13-24) increased 22 percent, from 7,200 infections in 2008 to 8,800 in 2010.”

-- “There was a 12 percent increase in HIV incidence among MSM overall, from 26,700 in 2008 to 29,800 in 2010.”

-- “Transgender individuals are also heavily affected by HIV. A 2008 review of HIV studies among transgender women found that, on average, 28 percent tested positive for HIV.”

As for reducing the risk of being infected with HIV, the CDC states [4]:

-- “Sexual risk behaviors account for most HIV infections in gay and bisexual men. Most gay and bisexual men acquire HIV through anal sex, which is the riskiest type of sex for getting or transmitting HIV. For sexually active gay and bisexual men, the most effective ways to prevent transmitting or becoming infected with HIV are to be on antiretroviral medications (to either treat or prevent infection) and to correctly use a condom every time for anal or vaginal sex.”

Ok,so what the hell is a "transgendered woman"? Is it a woman that thinks she is a man and has had her plumbing altered,or a man that thinks he is a woman and has had HIS plumbing altered?

Pete, I'm guessing it's a guy whose body is still all-male, but he dresses and acts as a woman - while having sex with men.  But then, I try not to think about it very much.

See, just asking that question makes you guilty of transphobia...   I'm sure it's being explained to first and second graders in very graphic detail in our schools.

I start to get brain-freeze about half way through that,and my mind goes blank.

I'm fairly certain I am unknowingly guilty of several thought crimes every day of my life.

How dare these heretic researchers commit blasphemy against the cult of liberalism? They need to be put to the sword.

The one thing the left does better than anyone is is wrassliing with words. They can take any word in any language,and by the time they are done with the leg twist,body slams,and smacking it on the melon with steel chairs,subdue it to the point where it is willing to mean anything.

I remember I had to give a class to my folks on AIDS.  I thought on it somewhat and called my folks together.  I said this is going to be a short class on AIDS, sure everyone here knows about, but I have to give a safety briefing to all my folks, so here it is and then you can go back to work:  "SIT down and keep your mouth shut", now go back to work.


As for the transgender crowd.  There is no such thing any more than me heading down to the pig barn and putting lipstick on them and saying ain't they cute.  NO, they are still pigs wallowing in crap all day.  Sure you can put teats and a skirt on a man, but you still got man.  FACT there is no way to change that Chromosome count, lipstick won't do it!

I said when the hate crime laws were passed by Congress that this will come to haunt America.  Its nothing but Thought Control by the govt.  Hate crime are laws that the govt says they are...
