These guys demand your respect
Risky behavior has consequences. An ounce of prevention is thoroughly ignored, in favor of having governments foot the bill to cure a disease that shouldn’t even exist anymore. Unfortunately, a selfish lifestyle that cares nothing for life after 30 has lead to a preventable disease still going strong after 30 years of so-called “education.”
The HIV epidemic in Europe, including the UK, is being fuelled by the risky behaviour of young gay men, according to research published today.
Public messages and campaigns about the dangers of unsafe sex do not appear to be getting through to men who have sex with men, the researchers say – particularly the young ones.
By investigating the genetic profile of the virus in more than 500 newly screened patients over nine years, scientists in Belgium have identified clusters of people with type B virus – not the one that is most prevalent in Africa.
Those infected are almost all white, male, gay and young, they say. These men also tend to have other sexual diseases, such as syphillis, which suggests that they are involved in unsafe sexual behaviour and are not using condoms.
Despite years of handing condoms out in school starting in fourth grade, we still can’t get these selfish pricks to get covered. I mean, what do they care? In the end, it will be community hospice or medicare or socialized health that nurses them into the sweet hereafter with expensive cocktails of drugs. Instead, they hit the bath houses and hold “bug parties” (seeking out an infected person to have unprotected sex with on purpose).
