As long ago as 1988, San Francisco had a venereal disease infection
rate 22 times the national average.
Anal Cancer
Dr. Stephen E. Goldstone, the medical director of GayHealth.com
says he has found that 68% of HIV-positive and 45% of HIV-negative
homosexual males have abnormal or precancerous anal cells.
A 1987 study, Sexual Practices, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and
the Incidences of Anal Cancer in the New England Journal of Medicine
concluded that homosexual behavior in men increases the risk of anal
cancer: * 21 of the 57 men with anal cancer (37%) reported that they
were homosexual or bisexual, in contrast to only 1 in 64 controls.
HIV from Oral Sex
In August, 2001, researchers at the university of California
released the results of a preliminary study of the risk of getting HIV
from oral sex. They claimed that homosexuals are at a zero to 2% risk
of getting HIV from oral sex. But a study released earlier in 2001
indicated that oral sex is implicated in at least 8% of HIV infections.
This earlier study was published in February by the CDC and the
University of California at San Fran- cisco.
HIV from Anal Intercourse
In the U.S., anal intercourse continues to be the primary
transmission route of HIV infection for homosexuals. The CDC says there
are 40,000 new infections each year and the rate of infection is
climbing because many younger homosexuals are engaging in risky
behaviors. Many have become complacent about the epidemic because of
new drugs that control the progression of the disease. As a result,
homosexuals are staying alive longer and infecting more individuals.
As of 1998, 54% of all HIV infections were homosexuals. An
estimated 1 million Americans have been infected with HIV since it was
first discovered in the early 1980s. Worldwide, 21 million people have
died; 450,000 Americans have died so far from HIV-related diseases.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
A 1999 study published in the American Journal of Public Health
indicated that homosexuals are five times as likely to have Hepatitis B
as their heterosexual counterparts.
A 1999 study in Sexually Transmitted Diseases indicated that 25% of
homosexuals have rectal Gonorrhea and Gonorrhea of the throat is
prevalent because of oral sex practices.
The book, The Ins and Outs of Gay Sex: A Medical Handbook for Men
states that more than 50% of homosexual males have the Human Papilloma
Virus.
Homosexuals are acquiring Syphilis in record numbers. The CDC
released two reports on Syphilis in February, 2001. One report said
that Syphilis rates had declined by 22% in the U.S. since 1997. The
second indicated that Syphilis rates among homosexuals in Southern
California had risen from 26% to 51% in one year. The report also noted
that in Southern California alone, 60% of Syphilis-infected homosexuals
were also HIV positive
Tuberculosis
Homosexuals are at high risk for spreading Tuberculosis. In
June-August 1998, the Baltimore Health Department tracked the spread of
TB by four black transgendered homosexual prostitutes. They had
infected 22 others with TB through their sexual activities. TB
infection was also spread from Baltimore to New York City.
HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE PROMOTED AS A
POSITIVE LIFESTYLE! Homosexual sex leads to serious venereal diseases,
anal and oral cancer, and death from HIV infection. This behavior must
be discouraged not promoted as an alternative lifestyle.
