Keep the government out of the bedroom?

Question

A million people, a thousand thousand people have contracted AIDS in America, they have a very low probobility of surviving. It is PROVEN that HIV has a higher probobility of spreading in homosexual couples, it is PROVEN that the only way to contract HIV is to have had sex with someone who already posseses the disease(blood-transfusion was fixed a long time ago), this means that they only way to get this and other STDs is to HAVE SEX WITH MULTIPLE PARTNERS, and yet anyone who points this out is called a homophobe or is accused of taking the "moral high ground," when will people realize that STDs ARE caused by immorality, they are not the fault of the governement, or societal messages, or racial images, or George Bush they are the fault of the people who give and contract them. Especialy that of those who give them, don't give me bullshit about "natural sex drive" if you contract a fatal STD you stop having sex, to have sex with someone while possesing an STD is tatenmount to murder.

Very many of these answers are completely rediculus, yes HIV is spread more easily in homosexual couples DO SOME REASERCH, the origin of HIV is a sexualy transmited disease found in monkeys in southern africa-thus it originated because someone had sex with a monkey, i wonder if you can think up something more immoral than that because i can't. The CDC does not, NOT practive innoculation so whoever posted that is uneducated in the matter, yes i neglected to mention needle sharing which although is a cause is much less common and already illigal. in a case of a 16 year-old girl, so long as she was unaware that her boyfriend had HIV then yes she is a complete victim, although a 16 year-old realy should not be sexualy active. in addition cancer is caused by genetic mutation AIDs is caused by sexual activity, and while yes, those who have a mother with AIDs may contract it(this is a terrible tragedy and goes back to If You Get an STD STOP HAVING SEX) this is no where near the leading cause

Answer 1

Aids is not caused by immorality, it is caused by the HIV Virus. Your statrement that aids is caused by immorality shows your bias and ignorance.

Another fact you get wrong is that "It is proven that the only way to contract HIV is to have had sex with someone who already possesses the disease." That is simply not a fact at all. The person does not have to have AIDS they simply need to be carrying the virus. Also a huge number of babies have contracted the disease from their parents, who had sex with them? Also it can be transimitted by the improper use of needles.

I am perplexed how people can take something as random as the diseases in nature and twist it to support their own agenda with regard to sex. Why don't you use a little honesty and say "I want to tell everyone how their sex life should be and I want to make decisions as to what is and is not acceptable." That would be more honest.

There are more facts you get wrong. Health workers and the government and AIDS activists have been saying that limiting your sexual partners can prevent STD for many, many years. They are not called homophobes. That name is reserved for people like you, who are truly homophobic and distort the facts to fit their personal agenda. The AIDS epidemic gives you cover to promote your own bigotry and intolerance, or else you would never be talking about it.

Answer 2

Your lack of insight is showing. Have you never wondered how AIDS came about? Try this one on for size:

Everybody claims that AIDS originated in Africa between 30 and 40 years ago, RIGHT?

What was going on in Africa 30 to 40 years ago?

WAS DR. CHRISTAN BARNHARD DOING HIS GROUND BREAKING HEART TRANSPLANT EXPERIMENTATION?

How do you transplant an organ from one person to another without the body rejecting the transplant?

YOU SUPRESS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, RIGHT?

DO YOU THINK THAT THE GOOD DOCTOR'S SCREWING AROUND WITH IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPRESSION MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS DESEASE? DO YOU THINK THAT MAYBE THE PEOPLE WHO TENDED THE LAB ANIMALS MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED THROUGH BITES? DO YOU THINK THE LAB TECHS MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED THROUGH NECROPSEY'S?

BETTER QUESTION: DO YOU THINK ANYONE WOULD POINT A FINGER AT THE GOOD DOCTOR AFTER THEY GAVE HIM A NOBEL PRIZE?

Now, you want to rant about gay people being the culprits, sorry, I ain't buyin' that one. the gay community may be a little more promiscuous than the straight community, BUT NOT BY MUCH! REMEMBER PLATO'S RETREAT IN NEW YORK? HOW ABOUT PLATO'S REPEAT IN FLORIDA?

I actually thought that when famous people like Rock Hudson and Magic Johnson started contracting the disease, the laboratories would start actively looking for a cure but I was wrong. Magic's Johnson just wasn't magic anymore.The drug companies are far more interested in producing Viagra and the various other forms or erectile disfunction curers so that you can all go hump like bunnies.

As for me, my wife and I choose monogamy. I highly recommend that.

Answer 3

You are right to say that anyone with a fatal sexually transmitted illness should refrain from sex with other people .Oh and by the way sexually transmitted illness can be wiped from the earth in one easy step .We test and eliminate all those who have one .After this step is completed then sex with multiple partners will be safe .Remember that some of these illnesses are passed from mother to child and cleansing the population will not be easy but once done all people will be free to sleep with as many people as they want .These problems do not occur out of thin air . They are the result of passing it on from generation to generation .We need to break the cycle at some point .
Men who slept wwith animals and women brought this among the population and it can be eliminated .
We just have to take the proper steps .
By the way I have been with dozens of women and never contracted a single illness .SO being imoral is not the reason .

Answer 4

You are, in fact, wrong. Many times poeple can contract HIV/AIDS by just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Do you think the doctor or nurse that was called in for a fatal gunshot wound in the ER, and was exposed to the virus immoral? Or how about the 16 year old girl that thought she was "in love" and that "in her heart" she was married? Naive, yes, but immoral? Or maybe the person working at the CDC trying to find a cure--accidentally innoculated--immoral? Perhaps the unborn child, through no fault of their own, contacted the virus from their parent...
Maybe you should re-define your parameters for immorality, because it seems you are bulldozing the millions that contract this virus in seeming unexplicable ways. Instead of condemning, lambasting, pointing your oh so moral finger I'm sure, take a page out of the good Samaritan's book, and help thy neighbor

CDC’s HIV vaccine research focuses on conducting and evaluating HIV vaccine trials in the United States and elsewhere. CDC played an important role in the world’s first 2 efficacy trials of HIV vaccine candidates. Although the results indicated that the vaccines were not effective in reducing the risk for HIV infection, the trials provided critical information that will guide future research on HIV vaccines. Through an agreement with the National Institutes of Health and through membership in the Partnership for AIDS Vaccine Evaluation, CDC is currently contributing to the US government’s effort to develop a safe and effective HIV vaccine.
