The below chart comes from LA County health Department AIDS Surveillance reports. It does not break it down relative to the groups relative numerical representation in society, so even though homosexuals are comparatively rare to heterosexuals, not even acconting for this, look at the remarkable disparity in raw numbers of who is seroconverting based upon what vector modality, and one can see that in spite of the ACT UP! slogan designed to democratize HIV into a heterosexual epidemic, that male homosexuals ar ethe statistical risk group and overwhelming vector, evne when NOT adjusted for theri rare numbers within society.

Male risk categories

Male-male sexual contact 34193 ( 76%)
Injection drug user (IDU) 2439 ( 5%)
Male-male sexual contact/IDU 3278 ( 7%)
Hemophilia or coagulation disorder 165 ( <1)
Heterosexual contact 817 ( 2%)
Transfusion recipient 303 ( 1%)
Mother with/at risk for HIV 8 ( <1)
Other/Undetermined 3812 ( 8%)


Now if "AIDS Doesn't Discriminate", as homosexual political extremists sloganeer then why aren't as many heterosexual males aquiring AIDS at the same rates as homosexual males? For that matter, why don't female homosexual sseroconvert at the exact same rates as male homosexual sunless AIDS discriminates based upon behaviors that are disproportionately engaged in by male homosexuals?

Look at the disparity between male homosexuals and male heterosexuals. 76% for male homosexuals and 2% for heterosexual contact. And the heterosexual stats apply to those who refused to admit to any of the other frowned upon behaviors like IDU and male to male homosexual contact., thus the 2% is probably lower.

Now take into account that those who self identify as male homosexuals make up about 1.5% of the population, yet represent 76% of new AIDS cases in L.A. during the period.

Wow, I guess AIDS does discriminate, and I guess it is primarily a male homosexual disease, GRIDS-Gay Related Immune Deficiency Syndrome

Please post links to your source. It is within the rules.
Thanks.

LA County Health Department has a faily lame website where they have PDF files... I had to copy the info off one nebulous pdf file, so it wasn't conducive to quoting a link as I would have liked....

The reason it is higher among male homosexuals is that they normally don't use condoms as they aren't afraid of getting pregnant...

I know that the AIDS virus can get through the pores of condoms, but it does reduce the risk.

And LA county's representative of the world?

And the areas of the world where the spread of HIV is almost 100% through heterosexual sex?

Yes, the HIV virus does discriminate: it only infects those unfortunate enough to come into contact with it, and those people deserve the same level of support as people with cancer, diabetes, epilepsy or whatever. Whether that contact was sex, needles, blood transfusion or flying pig is irrelevant.

How exactly does this prove that HIV actually discriminates? Hmmm...

I'd like proof of a virus actually having the capacity to think as well as choose its victims.

Not too much to ask considering the title of the thread.

Why would you ask me how is it that AIDS can "discriminate" when it is homosexual politial extremist AIDS organizations that concocted that term "discrimination" n the first place! They are the ones that chose it, so ask them! I am just merely taking their own propaganda term and showing they are lying propaganda spewers.

And to naughtynurse, the stats clearly show that male to male sexual contact is the overwhelmingly most efficient HIV seroconversion vector in L.A. County.

Frankly, it is the same everywhere in the U.S. For Americans, why should we worry that we might get HIV like Africans do if we are not African? It is like debating whether we are going to walk 5 mile through the Santa Monica Mountains to meet some friends and worry that a Cape buffalo, lion, or pack of hyenas might attack us and try to eat us.....

If they dont' choose their victims, how do the victims get it? Do the victims choose it?

shuamort

Some do, some don't. It's not binary. Children born from a parent with HIV or a person who receives a blood transfusion didn't choose it. A person having intercourse with someone who didn't know they had HIV is another. A person having intercourse with someone they know is even another. The question is a simple one, the answer, like life, is a bit more complex.

Oh the question was more rhetorical for him......I know you're up to snuff on this stuff shuamort....
