CDC: Gay Men Represent 2 Percent Of US Population, 52 Percent Of People With HIV

ATLANTA (CBS ATLANTA) – Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM) make up 2 percent of the U.S. population but are the group most definitively affected by HIV, with 63 percent of those newly infected by HIV representing this group.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s weekly “Morbidity and Mortality” report shows that among persons newly infected with HIV in 2010, 63 percent were men who have sex with other men. Among Americans living with HIV, 52 percent were MSM – and a significant number of men with HIV are not receiving treatment.

“Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) represent approximately 2 percent of the United States population, yet are the risk group most affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV),” reads the Sept. 26 CDC report. “Most gay and bisexual men acquire HIV through anal sex, which is the riskiest type of sex for getting or transmitting HIV.

Well now they have the government and bleeding heart liberals backing their lifestyles. So it must be ok.

This is clearly a disease transmitted by an 'abnormal' lifestyle. With the exception of the few that acquire the disease through normal contact with someone of an abnormal lifestyle (you should be able to tell they have an abnormal lifestyle), I would say let this disease run its course...spend the research money on something that impacts innocent victims....say cancer.

The disease would eventually kill itself off.....along with the hosts of abnormal lifestyles.....

Another one of those places where the bleeding hearts prevent stupid people from killing themselves!

Obama and Holder do not like anyone to profile...even if it is the truth.

So there is a strong possibility that the mayor of Salisbury may be infected with that disease.

Actually it's all homosexuals represent just 2% of the population...and yet somehow can bully the majority.
