Bascailly mnay scinetist think that aids virus mutated ebcause of STD which runs high in the gay comminubity because of use of freeqauent antiibotics and possibloy form use of extacy and such drugs. It all to do with immune system and what lowers resistance.Even over usage by hetrosexual has an effect.

What's your point/intent here????? I too can post statistics...Majority of STD cases(Gonorrhea) are heterosexual>>>>>>
CDC - GISP Profiles, 2008 - Figure C. Percentage of GISP Participants Identifying as Men Who Have Sex with Men, 1999-2008

Only San Francisco, San Diego and Portland have higher percentages of gays.....with STD's versus heterosexuals. Just as meaningless as your post......IMO you are only trying to demean gays.....diseases are neutral in such matters....Hate however seems to be occuring in epidemic proportions!.

If you do your math; say 100 people get this disease and 65% are male, that one is easy, 65 males get the disease. Of those 65 men, 65% are gay and I assume that means gay men. That comes to 42.25 gay men out of 65 men. Of the grand total of 100 it is actually then 42.25% are gay men per 100 people with the disease. Either way it does not matter for it is not an exclusively gay disease. of which there are none. All std's are non specific to sexual orientation, all it takes is having unprotected sex with an infected person once.

No, the opportunistic BACTERIAL infections which are a result of having a depressed immune system. Not to treat a VIRUS.

Really? Only males with AIDS?

Seemed more like an attempt to tag AIDS as a disease of gay men, facts be damned.

In case you overlooked it that article is about gay males and infections. The article is a few years old anyhow.
