GAY TRUTH

Men who have sex with men face a syphilis infection rate at the highest it’s been since the 1980s, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) official. “We’re concerned about our high levels of syphilis among men who have sex with men – really we’re back to the level of disease – burden of disease – in gay men that we were seeing before HIV in this country,” said Gail Bolan, director of the CDC’s Division of STD Prevention, at an event lobbying for federal funding to fight sexually transmitted diseases in the United States . The comments were reported by CNS News . Some groups bear a disproportionate burden of STDs , according to a   2014 CDC fact sheet , and “While anyone can become infected with an STD, certain groups, including young people and gay and bisexual men , are at greatest risk.” In a section of the fact sheet on the “Troubling rise in syphilis infections among men, particularly gay and bisexual men,” the CDC wrote, “Trend data show rate

WASHINGTON, D.C. , – In   a first-of-its-kind analysis , the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have concluded that one in two black men who are gay or bisexual will contract HIV. In an infographic released last week, one in six men who have sex with men ( MSM ) will contract HIV in their lifetimes, with half of black MSM likely to contract. Black men are the most likely racial and gender demographic to contract HIV, with a five-percent chance of contraction. White women are the least likely to contract the disease of the demographics examined – blacks, Hispanics, and whites of both genders – with one in 880 likely to contract. Women generally who inject drugs via needles were the second most likely demographic to contract HIV, behind MSM, with one in 23 likely to contract, while one in 36 men who inject drugs was likely to contract HIV. One in 241 heterosexual women was projected to contract HIV, and one in 473 heterosexual men. "As alarming as these lifetime risk

The World Health Organization issued a warning July 11 that despite all efforts the global HIV epidemic continues to severely impact men who have sex with men, as well as other "key populations " that include people in prison, people who inject drugs, sex workers , and people who identify as transgender. "Rates of HIV infection among men who have sex with men remain high almost everywhere and new prevention options are urgently needed." In the lead-up to the International AIDS Conference in Melbourne, Australia , which begins July 20, WHO released  new guidelines for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care of key groups that are particularly vulnerable to the virus. "Rates of HIV infection among men who have sex with men remain high almost everywhere and new prevention options are urgently needed," the organization states in a news release. In a new tack towards trying to deal with the HIV epidemic, the WHO now for the first time "strong

Homosexuality is defined in the Bible as a sin. In the minds of many people, it is still a sin that God will punish. In the minds of secular people it is a wholesome choice. But it was a crime, when the law stated that homosexuality was against nature and the community and was a deviant behaviour. Nothing has changed, except for liberals they see homosexuality as something good and all charges should be lifted.  Homosexual advocates are calling for gay sex convictions to be abolished nationally, saying people who were convicted before the act was decriminalised are still suffering because of their criminal record. It comes as the Victorian government announced yesterday it would erase convictions for sex between two consenting adult males. The state will introduce laws this year that will provide men with the opportunity to have the convictions wiped from their record. The decriminalisation of gay sex in Australia began in the 1970s, with Tasmania the last state to fall in l

W ASHINGTON, D.C. , December 5, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The federal government is considering changing its lifetime ban regarding blood donations from sexually active homosexuals. The news comes less than a week after the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that in 48 states men who have sex with men (MSM) represent the  majority of HIV/AIDS sufferers . Today members of the HHS Advisory Committee on Blood and Tissue Safety and Availability will be hearing  seven presentations  on the issue. The committee  declined  to change the policy in 2010. Existing policy bars men who have had sex at least once since 1977 from donating blood for life, due to the high risk of exposure to HIV/AIDS.  Other countries , such as Spain and Italy, have lifted their bans. Australia, Brazil, Japan, and Britain have a one-year deferral after sex. Canada has a five-year deferral policy. The nation's major blood bank organizations – the American Association of Blood Banks (AAB

WASHINGTON, DC ,  – A new  report  from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) shows approximately  62 percent of gay men  who know they have HIV/AIDS continue to engage in sexual relations without using a prophylactic, a behavior that can spread AIDS.  The report, which was released on the Friday after Thanksgiving, analyzed data gathered in 2011.  According to the report, the percentage of men with HIV/AIDS having sex with other men without a condom had increased from 55 percent in 2005, to 57 percent in 2008, to 62 percent today. CDC spokesperson Nikky Mayes told LifeSiteNews.com in an e-mail that the “new analysis of data suggests concerning signs of sexual risk for HIV infection among gay and bisexual men in 20 major U.S. cities.” The surveys cited in the report examine men having sex with men (MSM) for a period of 12 months. In the report, many MSM said they tried to reduce their risk of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections by only having sex with ot
