[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody has said this clearly so I will. HIV is not a "gay" disease anymore. Our gay brothers take care of themselves.  It's not stigmatized at all and there are measures that can be taken and are often discussed.

So, if this is about extramarital sex, i doubt he's with a man.

And nobody's called troll. So I will.[/quote]

it primarily effects gay men. liberals have gone overboard with the over correction. Women who get infected with HIV primarily get it from men who don’t tell them they have HIV.

stigma exists for a reason. HIV should be stigmatized. The obsession with have a stigma free society is dangerous.

I’m not as liberal as i used to be because liberals are insane. [/quote]

And there are many gay and bisexual men married to women who don’t know they are—when they cheat with men and have sex once in awhile with their wife to keep up the charade—she’s in danger.[/quote]

But, to add to this, it's the nature of male homosexual sex that makes HIV spread high risk - specifically rough sex involving bleeding. You can still get it from heterosexual sex but just not as easily as anal sex and needles.[/quote]

Eh.  The risk of female to male transmission during vaginal or oral sex is incredibly low and female to male is pretty damned low even during anal.

Men typically get it from receiving anal from other men or needles.  Women typically get it from men and even then likely during anal sex or from needles.

It doesn’t mean it’s impossible to happen in the other circumstances but the chances are really low.

Part of removing the stigma is appropriately (remember when people thought you might get hiv at the grocery store if someone with it handled produce?) is understanding the risk factors regardless of how uncomfortable that may mean about who and why people get a disease.  The times have changed, we can be direct and matter of fact about HIV.[/quote]
