(CNSNews.com) – The rate of syphilis infection among homosexual men has increased to a level not seen since the start of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, an official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Capitol Hill Wednesday.
“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.
She was speaking at an event held to lobby for federal funding to fight sexually transmitted diseases in the United States.

This is God's way of saying 'thou shalt not!'...
We should take the AIDS research money and spend it on Cancer research. We already know how to stop the spread of AIDS - stop homo sex and stop sharing drug needles...both things that God-fearing people don't do anyway.
Cancer on the other hand is a mystery that impacts across all boundaries - we don't know how to stop or cure this one!
12:19 That may be the stupidest, most ignorant thing I have ever heard. Certainly not the christian way...
NO, 12:19 is correct! God is telling these deviants they need to change or they will be put to death! This is not Gods design of the human race, "Man shall not lay with a man as he does with a woman" Gods own words!
You 1:45, are why this country is in such a crummy place.
316 it's people like YOU who make organized religion look so fanatical and ridiculous. First off, a person's sexual preference is not deviant nor is it any of YOUR business. It's private like I would hope your sex life is private. I'm not even gay or liberal and I find your comment completely irresponsible and troubling. You can't force other people to hold your same fanaticism so pack it up your Bible and go home.
Funny, I read an article the other day that said STDs are up among Seniors since the advent of Viagra. No one seems to be writing stories about that though. Guess if it's not about gay exterminations it doesn't count for much.
1:45 - I'm hating the sin - not the sinner...which IS the Christian way.
354 The Christian way is: "Judge not for lest be judged..." Remember that one?
Christianity and hating. Thought those were conjunct. Guess not. Hate to break it to you, angel, but you're a sinner, too. We were all born of sin since Genesis and the Garden of Eden. Care to go one step further or do you get my point?
3:54 Hate is a Christian way?
gay = unnatural = freak = aids = oh well
I agree, price you pay for a sick unnatural way of living.
Homosexuality is a perversion no different than pedophilia.
I say Cant do the time dont do the crime. He without a sin cast the first stone. We all fall short people, so suck it up. Cause it's gonna all come out on judgement day .. til then just love one another
1219 wow.
Also rising, though not publicized, is the syphilis rate among women who have sex with men who have sex with men.
Black men are confusing because many of them look like women with their long lochs and fingernails.
Sodomy is totally gross and filthy.
