After reading this I can understand why the US has over 25 million new STD's every year. More than 25 million people worldwide have died of AIDS since the early 1980's. Close to 40 million people are now living with HIV worldwide. Some people just don't get it. If we were all monogamous we wouldn't be in this awful, tragic mess.
Andy--please limit your false data to your own threads.
This is a Moderator Request from me.
Actually Andy is quite correct about the HIV and AIDS statistics....not meaning to 'troll' you Lex, but it is an important fact and needs to be pointed out, people who don't know the stats need to know that this is the truth.....AVERT shows the data that was sourced from the UN.
As for the '25 million' new STDs in America each year, the figure is actually closer to 15 million.
I would caution anyone from getting information about diseases and illnesses from sites that are not from the Center for Disease Control or other Health/Medical cites.
I especially caution people from getting 3rd-hand information from bigots and their promoted discriminatory websites.
And look, he was only off by 10 million!! That's counting the 2006 GOP way, I tell ya!
You need to look at Andy's comments in context, along with his other threads, where he maintains that gay or bisexual activity causes HIV and AIDS. He is citing these to promote a fundamentalist anti-gay agenda. He does not want to use those statistics to make a useful statement about STDs among the population as a whole. Neither does he have any comments to make on the widespread practice of safe sex, or the need for these to be promoted among all communities.
No Alex, I haven't actually looked at any of Andy's threads....but no matter what a bigot this guy may be....his HIV stats are correct and from the most reliable source we have....this must be made clear.
Yes, the UN AIDS/HIV stats found at that link are good. But all the other stats in other threads (stats and threads also about HIV) that he has mentioned were WRONG. Grossly inaccurate and wildly misleading.
You should really read the one where he spouts of an 80% figure for all gay men based on a study done on FIVE people. Since when can you generalize a study with a sample size of 5 on the larger population?
We have to agree to disagree. The UN stats are true and most of what Andy purports as data is false.
Andy made dozens of posts with more claims about stats and only in one post are any of the stats true. Therefore, his data is overwhlemingly false.
Reading should always be done in context.
Ok back on topic then
people should have more 3somes. You've no idea how difficult its been lately, can't find a single guy who's happy being around another guy or woman who's happy with a guy being there. Its depressing

Just because someone has lot of sex (or has had a varitey of sexual experiences) does not mean that are not being safe and responsible. I always practice safer sex.
