ORIGINAL: defiantbadgirl I got my information from a college course I aced just a few months ago. I learned in class that many gay men have unprotected sex, both anal and oral. I also saw a gay man on a talk show that talked about "barebacking" being "the in thing".........and yes, he was HIV positive. Ah, how could I be so incorrect with my statistics from the CDC epidemiologists and UN AIDS and AVERT......when talk shows are the true resource for all correct information in the world. Mea culpa. LOL, well to be fair she did also state she had gained informaton from a college course. Did all the sources you mention have the same stats? Just interested, nothing more, TIA Her previous statement was that gay men are the highest population of HIV infections followed by drug abusers (and not even specifically, "IV drug users" as is the proper classification.) Now her info to back that up surrounds a college class and a talk show, and the only validation is that 'many men bareback' and that a guy talking about barebacking on TV was HIV positive. And yes, the CDC, UN AIDS and AVERT, plus most major AIDS orgs worldwide publicize the issues that I've mentioned -- -- Hepatitis is far more virulent than HIV. -- The new population spurts in HIV infections are in (US) AA females, (US) hispanics under 35 and (World) hetero african men. -- While 47% of the infected population in the US probably acquired HIV through MSM contact (males having sex with males), get this: Since the beginning of the epidemic, the number of heterosexual infections has increased dramatically. According to CDC estimates, heterosexual contact led to about one third of new AIDS diagnoses and one third of new HIV diagnoses in 2004. And, about 19% of all adults and adolescents diagnosed with AIDS have been female. Among new AIDS diagnoses in 2004, and among new HIV diagnoses, this proportion was 27%. And if we think we have it bad here in the US -- how about 5.5 million living with HIV and over 1,000 deaths per DAY? http://www.avert.org/aidssouthafrica.htm Incidentally, there are interesting findings about HIV transmission through oral sex,. including three NIH-funded studies, on the AVERT website -- http://www.avert.org/orlsx.htm
