| quote: | A new, highly drug-resistant strain of the “flesh-eating” MRSA bacteria is being spread among gay men in San Francisco and Boston, researchers reported on Monday. In a study published online by the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, the bacteria seemed to be spread most easily through anal intercourse but also through casual skin-to-skin contact and touching contaminated surfaces. The new strain seems to have “spread rapidly” in gay populations in San Francisco and Boston, the researchers wrote, and “has the potential for rapid, nationwide dissemination” among gay men.
The Castro district in San Francisco has the highest number of gay residents in the country, according to the University of California, San Francisco. One in 588 residents is infected with the new multidrug-resistant MRSA strain, the study found. That compares with 1 in 3,800 people in San Francisco, according to statistical analyses based on ZIP codes. A separate part of the study found that gay men in San Francisco were about 13 times more likely to be infected than other people in the city. The San Francisco researchers suggested that scrubbing with soap and water might be the most effective way to stop skin-to-skin transmission, particularly after sexual activities. |

See this is why gays aren't making strides in civil rights. Homophobia keeps resurfacing with these new diseases and everyone associates gays with diseases. I agree with the homophobes. I'm afraid of gays too now!

OMG you! I ing hate gays I hope they all get it.
Actually I read up on it and totally hyperventilated. Problem with this is it's EASILY transferable through skin to skin contact and even if you touch something then someone else touches it. I think that means you could contact it at the gym from sitting down on a bench that someone else sat on! Either way I'm not stepping foot in another gay bar. I haven't even seen the guy I've been dating for over a week and maybe I shouldn't ever see him. I'll date a chick. She just better not give me herpes in my pee pee.

If god hated the gays, then God would have gotten rid of the (gay owned and operated) French Quarter in New Orleans. But, in fact, every section surrounding it was destroyed during Katrina and the French Quarter got only minimal damages. God loves gays. God just hates gay sluts. |
