In the commentary of Ron Jeremy's movie, Ron said AIDS was mostly a homosexual male's disease and IV drug users' disease in North America. He explained that at the HIV clinic he would get his monthly tests at,

Thank you for your excellent and well written remarks

Intriguing.

I got the stats from that link you posted, although I had read it before. Propaganda and brainwashing are stupid, but yes, people should have safer sex.

"In Thunder Bay we have over 300 reported cases of HIV/AIDS. 85% of those cases are heterosexual people."

Would you be able to direct me to your source for this please?

[mattcanning]

"It's just an agency-known fact."I won't accept that. I would be throwing my critical thinking skills out the window if I did. Transmission of HIV from male-to-female is about 1 in 1,100. This means you would have to have 1,100 males with HIV ejaculate into you before the odds strike that you contract the virus yourself. Female-to-male transmission is at least three times less efficient than that. I would need to literally have sex with upwards of 5,000 women with HIV before the odds hit that I get the virus

That's good. If he really knows his stuff, he would know that the scientific data corresponds with what I'm writing about here.

The 85% of people with HIV who are heterosexuals in my educated opinion would probably be IV drug users. Regardless, the stats for Thunder Bay (presuming they are real) are far different than the Canadian average. And I heard we have a very high chlamydia rate here, although I didn't get verification on that.

Think no further than the mechanism in which a male would get an STD - with no open sores or cuts on the penis, that leaves one opening for a potential STD. Unlike women, we aren't on the receiving end of as much fluid either

Pregnacy is a very selective thing as well.
Through natural selection, our bodies have created protection systems to prevent us from not passing on our genes to our best possible mate.

An example of this is in the ABO blood system. Lets assign a B blood type for you. B blood type denotes that you have A blood type antibodies. Therefore, as a B blood type, you cannot pass on your genes to anyone of the A blood type, or the AB blood type. This is because your genes will not be acceptable to the egg due to your partners antibodies attacking your sperm, and your sperm attacking the wombs antibodies. There is still a small chance of egg fertilization, but the rate of fetal death would be astronomical.

It's like all out war. The only thing is that if your partner is an O blood type. An O blood type carries no antibodies for either A or B. A woman with an O blood type is natures breeder.

Remember, we're all animals after all.

Yes...and protection is good. I never said it wasn't, although I can see why it would kind of be assumed by my tone that maybe I think it isn't. Straight men and lesbians are the least likely to catch any STD though, not just HIV. And the stats are pretty crazy. Insanely low actually, considering some of these Christian fundamentalist neocons would have young men believe that merely thinking about shaking a woman's hand will give them AIDS

"also, unprotected sex by heteros and homosexuals alike is simply NOT a good idea.
it is not simply AIDS we need to worry about. it is a host of other diseases, while, maybe not life threatening, sure would change your life if you contracted them. and the chances of getting these unfortunate ailments are much higher than getting AIDS (at least in this city). in fact, many people can carry STDs and not even be aware of it."

The part in bold is appropriate. All STDs are hyped up though, every one of them
