Some heterosexuals at risk?

[fli]

I got in a fight with an "acquaintance" (more like a sinful reminder of my past). Johny used to be my best friend. We would make fag jokes, and other shameful things. I of course was hiding something, so I was friends with him.

And of course, when I came out, that didn't turn out well for him.

So we're at a restaurant, after all these years. Why am I speaking to him? Cause my friend is his friend. So anyways, it's pretty tense at times. We're acting civil, and then we got into an argument.

He says that AIDS is a "homo disease", and that he doesn't have to worry anything.
We argueed and at the end, I felt like smacking him upside his head for acting stupid.

He's had at least a hundred encounters by now-- without a condem.
And he's never been tested, cause, "Aids is a homo disease."

It makes me wonder, how many how much the heterosexual community is at risk because of this type of behavior. Man has an affair. Goes back home, gives his wife AIDS-- I've watched Montel and Ricky Lake before...

That's so sad.

Your friend or ex friend is very ignorant.

Other than that, I don't know what else to say. I'm sorry but I don't quite understand your arguement here.

[Ted-Easton]

His friend thinks that the fact that he is straight somehow protects him from HIV.

Which is ridiculous.

Hey, c'mon. You know how everyone's always talking about those 'gay genes', and 'straight genes'? Well, my 'straight gene' protects me from AIDS.
Not just aids, either. It also protects me from influenza, hypothermia, thyroid diseases, and stomache aches....and sunburn.
God. You people don't know shit about science, I guess.

well some gene's do protect you against sun burn, such as black and arab gene's because there bodies adapted to the heat, and it's easier for an arab to get hypothermia from a russian because the russian is more adapted to the cold, stomache ach's, me and my american friend ate sandwhich from a gas station, we split it fiftey fiftey cause we couldn't afford another, because we forgot to bring our wallets, any way, the next day he kept puking and couldn't get out of bed, i just felt a litle irratated for a short while and got much better later, while he stayed in bed, so yeah, gene's do protect from some deseases, as your body will adapt after generations to it's soroundings

I would say that people who say that are an insignificant portion of the heterosexual population, and i doubt many people would care if they died anyway.

That insignificant portion of the population has sex with unwitting (and sometimes lied to) partners.

Of corse Heterosexuals are at risk! Every sexually active human is at risk for the pandemic. There are a few resistant souls, but other than that the disease kills all.

Homo disease? By standard genitics possibly. More probably it's due to beastiality of some sort, that was transmitted by one or more partners to homosexuals, who transmitted it through faking it or bisexuals. Thus the pandemic spread undetected through cast out members of society, probably as early as the 1960's. As society gains tolerance the diseases of rejected peoples remix to the mainstream.

If god is punishing anything with HIV, he is punishing society for being divided for so very, very long.

SO tell me, straight guy.
why is my straight friend dead?
Her genes were completley straight, to the core.
and yet, the death was slow, painful, and brought on by a straight man.
ignorance kills.

HAHAHA. Gosh. You really are slow.

[LordoftheBengal]

Well I think the best ways to deal with HIV/AIDS is to get tested. If you love or like someone enough, they should be willing to get tested. If not they're not worth it. And use protection. That's what it's for. To protect us.

There was a public service announcement that I saw on televisions, recently. It claimed that 46% of the people who know they have HIV/AIDS intentionally don't tell their partners.

If it was only half that number of people, that'd still be terrifying.

[MortifiedPenguins]

i actually found that in the internet. yes straight people can have HIV but the most likely people to have it and the most common are black gays.

Sigh.

It's not a genetic trait. Anyone can get it.

You had to learn on the internet that straight people can get HIV?!

You go to a Catholic school, right?

no i mean that i already knew that straight people can get hiv. but the most common people that have hiv are gay blacks.

And for a while, 50% of the people were infected with HIV in some African nations. Most of them were just above 20%, though.

You have to ask, at that point, why are people still having sex?

[Black-rage-fucka]

He says that AIDS is a "homo disease"

your friend is an ignorant fool who is a discrace to humanity

[BigBlueBalls]

He's getting confused with the fact that the rectum has less protection from diseases and has a thinner lining. While there is an increased risk of contracting a disease through anal sex, it doesn't mean you can't get aids from vaginal intercourse. That's where he's fucked up.

[WhiteMagic]

everyone's at risk. theres no group thats more or less

[iiREDii]

The portion that is as stupid as your ex-friend... very few of those in my experience

Most of the people who have it probably don't know they have it.

In the U.S. however only rougly .4% of the population has AIDS or HIV and of that .4% only about 16% got it through heterosexual contact. Assuming that all the people who got it from heterosexual contact are entirely straight that means only about .068% of the heterosexual population of the U.S. has AIDS/HIV. Assuming you have unprotected sex with 100 other people and half wouldn't tell you if theyhad it you got a 3.4% of getting AIDS/HIV. The odds are in your favour, but I still wouldn't risk it.

However, since only 16% of the HIV/AIDS sufferers are straight I would say AIDS is a disease predominant in the gay community, not to say however that it is a gay disease, but I am saying that if you are gay your are at a much higher risk for it than a heterosexual.

In the end however your "Friend" still needs to be kicked in the teeth

[LazyDrunk]

Keep your peter in your pants, children.

Being promiscuous does not make you cool.

Awesome. _FLAGG, you are the winnar!

As for this chump ex-friend of yours, he must not be a child of the 80's. Any child of the 80's will tell you that if you have unprotected sex you're gonna get AIDS and DIE. PERIOD. EVERY single time! So use a condom or abstin because if you don't, you're WORM FOOD!!!!

Vicious cycle. In parts of Africa, there is so much AIDS that there is a very high death rate. Therefore, to maintain the population, people must reproduce more, meaning more unprotected sex, meaning a greater spread of AIDS and HIV. Cycle ad infinitum.

I would like to think that in MEDCs those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS would have the sense to always use protection, there's no reason why they shouldn't. Of course, the fact of being diagnosed with it makes some a little crazy... there have been cases where people have sex with the intention of infecting their partner. Sick.

[ge-dm5]

chances are better forgays to get STD because there community is so much smaller.
i dont know the exact chance but it is grater then the stright community

[Pilot-Doofy]

The only reason people could call it a "homosexual disease" is because it WAS most commonly found in the homosexual community back when it was first discovered.

However, just because it has a majority in who it populates, that doesn't, by any means, tell us that that is the only group it can affect. I have a straight friend who is HIV positive. She didn't know she had it, and the guy she slept with wasn't bisexual or anything, so he had had no homosexual encounters, AT ALL.

The argument of a "homo" disease kind of irritates me. It's one thing to single someone out just because they're prone to a disease, but it's more disturbing that straight people ACTUALLY THINK they're incapable of getting it because they're not gay.

There are certain race related diseases such as sickle cell anemia; however, on a regular basis, a virus can have effects on everyone. Since a disease simply messes with your immune system, it can be caught and not caught depending on your immunity level. Contrary, a virus is actually a strand of DNA which is captured and incorporated into your own DNA. So in other words, a virus (usually) affects everyone.

However, arguing now that the majority of HIV carriers are homosexual isn't working as well. That used to be a fact indeed; however, with more and more unprotected sex between heterosexuals, the virus is quickly multiplying in the straight community. Now, it is EVERYONE'S problem.

In a summary, the ONLY way to prevent HIV contraction is abstinence; however, if you are going to have sex, ALWAYS use protection. Remember, you can't tell what someone has just by looking at them.

[awkward-silence]

According to the CDC, 11% of Aids cases are from Hetero contact. I did the math a long time ago and it was something like a 1 in100 chance of contracting the disease from a female carrier. Not the best odds, but also not the worst.

Well, I do know that in the 80's it was actually ignored for a period of time (before 1980-1982 or-so I think), then not much was know about it until 1988, when a full report was done on it. So you probably won't find sufficient information about the disease if you are citing a bit of information from before 1988.

[awakened-soul]

theres a rumour that AIDs started with a man having sex with a monkey or ape in Africa...then it all started from there.....

to start with this "fag disiese" thing is horrible....i did a project on ryan white and he was trying to stop the prejudice agains aids victims. Aids is passed to anyone..not just gays...
