Why do homophobes accuse gays of HIV/AIDS spreading


Why do homophobes accuse gays of HIV/AIDS spreading?
It's a Sexually Transmitted Disease, not a Homosexually transmitted disease, and heterosexual sexual activity is the common medium for STD's

I've never heard that. I've heard that it's just a bunch of w-h-o-r-e-s who spread AIDS. We must be living in different places.

This is a very good question. When the HIV/AIDS first started going public, it was when gays were not accepted in society at all, let alone how to have safe sex as gays. Since there was no worry of pregnancy, some gays got the reputation of being very promiscuous, not using condoms and stuff. So, obviously, it was spread much easier that way. Now, obviously this is just as true among gay couples as it is straight, but the homophobes are the ones who blame the gays. False blame. In the earlier days they weren't as careful (just as most weren't) but they aren't to blame.

Um this isn't a question is it?

In the 70's, everyone believed that gays created and HIV/AIDS. This was, obviously, completely wrong.

Really? It seems that you don't know how the whole thing started: with some cracker jack pocking a monkey in Africa. Most 'gays" die of AIDS. Get real and get with the program. Unless, of course, you desire your own 4 letters. There is no such thing as a homophobe, just disgusted heteros. How about that, Ru Paul.

Research and statistics have shown higher rates among the community. It's not accusing, it's fact coming from someone who is personally gay. However, recent headlines hitting the globe and mail clearly state it is becoming common among others as well. Ontario and Saskatchewan have double their rates of infection this past year. Think, there isn't much available for protection among the lesbian community. It's by all means unjust that gays are stereotyped as the main spread, because many become infected with drug use. (shared needles) Edit-Can't believe I have a thumbs down for basing my answer with nothing but facts: THIS ARTICLE WAS MADE JULY 23 WITH NEW STATISTICS, I question the person below claiming to be a doctor. I'm a seventeen year old girl, the rate of aids spread through needles have INCREASED. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/a-changing-epidemic-canadas-aids-rate-on-the-rise/article1648558/

Because, it is one more thing to hold against us. A while ago (around the 80's) there were quite a few more promiscuous gays. And none of them really used condoms because at the time they weren't worried about getting pregnant and they weren't educated about STD's. Do remember, AIDS was started by men having sex with monkeys in Africa.. no joke. And also remember that heterosexuals would have had to have sex with gay/bi people in order to get the STD.. so they are just as promiscuous. My friend got AIDS by using drugs (sharing needles).. many gays do get AIDS this way because they are stressed, unaccepted, ect ect. Also, some homophobes actually think that we were made in Hell.. so they think that we have nothing better to do then destroy all humans.. this may seem a bit far-fetched but some people are just crazy like that.

Because it is an excuse to fill their hate against gay people. They have to associate it with something bad.

It's that damn Tom Hanks' fault!

Is homophobe another word for f@g, because gays admitted to the spread of AIDS. Even today the rate of promiscuity amony gay men is a 1970's level when many engaging in unprotected sex. It is amazing that the poster has not heard this. In the closet and close-minded too. Excessive sexual promiscuity results in serious medical consequences รข€” indeed, it is a recipe for transmitting disease and generating an epidemic. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has remained a predominantly gay issue in the U.S. primarily because of the greater degree of promiscuity among gays. A study based upon statistics from 1986 through 1990 estimated that 20-year-old gay men had a 50 percent chance of becoming HIV positive by age 55. As of June 2001, nearly 64 percent of men with AIDS were men who have had sex with men. Syphilis is also more common among gay men. The San Francisco Public Health Department recently reported that syphilis among the city's gay and bisexual men was at epidemic levels. According to the San Francisco Chronicle: "Experts believe syphilis is on the rise among gay and bisexual men because they are engaging in unprotected sex with multiple partners, many of whom they met in anonymous situations such as sex clubs, adult bookstores, meetings through the Internet and in bathhouses. The new data will show that in the 93 cases involving gay and bisexual men this year, the group reported having 1,225 sexual partners Hunter, a gay man brought the AIDS virus to America, and that was the gay man who cam ein contact with the monkey in Africa. Heterosexuals and needle sharing, simply means the hetero came in contact with a gay and the needles sharing was with a gay.

They lack the education and understanding about the disease. They think AIDS and automatically think about gay men. Even though, straight people can get aids, drug users get aids, blood transfusions given to others during the first cases of AIDS, as we know Africa is having a major problem with aids, and it's not because they are all gay, it's because they lack the education about safe sex or because of religious views. Yes! AIDS did start out in monkeys i have been told it was probably caused by a person trialing a vaccine or that somebody killed an infected monkey and the blood got into the killers bloodstream through a wound. but i have been told throughout my life by teachers etc that AIDS was NOT caused by sex between human and monkey. I thought i'd add a link so anyone interested can look it up.

the majority of cases in the USA and Canada are gay men. therefore they are considered to be the biggest " spreaders" of the disease. ... the information is freely available at the CDC webiste. look up transmission ( spreading it) categories and see which has the highest number..... facts don't lie. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/surveillance/basic.htm
