Does anybody know what percentage of gay men are HIV positive?

I asked this question in the std section and just got answers like they are 10 times more likely, and wear protection if you are gay and quit having multiple partners. All I wanted to know is does anyone have an idea on what percentage of men are infected.

I’m assuming youmean in North America rather than worldwide. many gay activists willtry to hide the fact that it is still a gay problem in the USA and Canada by quoting the african stats and therefore concluding that young women have it most.

Its pretty well impossible to tell what ” percentage” of gay have aids because many will not tell you that they are gay. however this information may help its the listings from the CDC on who has it , their sexual orientation and how many cases there have been of each . as of 2007 the most recent documented studies.

Transmission Category Estimated # of AIDS Cases, in 2007
Adult and Adolescent Male Adult
Male-to-male sexual contact 16,749
Injection drug use 3,750
Male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use 1,664
High-risk heterosexual contact* 4,011
Other** 181

*Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.
** Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk not reported or not identified.

Thats the 2007 stats, here are the stats for male and female since the plague began

Transmission Category Estimated # of AIDS Cases, Through 2007*
Adult and Adolescent Male Adult and Adolescent Female Total
Male-to-male sexual contact 487,695 – 487,695
Injection drug use 175,704 80,155 255,859
Male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use 71,242 – 71,242
High-risk heterosexual contact** 63,927 112,230 176,157
Other*** 12,108 6,158 18,266

*Includes persons with a diagnosis of AIDS from the beginning of the epidemic through 2007.
**Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.
*** Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk not reported or not identified.

as you can see, homosexual males still have the highest incidence of HIV regardless of what drivel the activists have tried to put out. It still by a factor of 4.6 to 1 a gay problem in North America according to the CDC>

STD Councillor – Three Men In A Bucket

How is chlamydia tested, by blood or urine?

A friend undergone an HIV test and the doctor suggested to test STD as well. They only got blood from him. The result said that he got chlamydia. I read some posting that chlamydia is tested thru urine sample. Can it also be tested using blood sample? If it is not, that means the clinic was cheating. I think since chlamydia is the most common STD, they just say a patient have chlamydia so they can sell to them medicine to take which means extra income to the clinic. Am i correct?

What Is It?

Chlamydia (pronounced: kluh-mid-ee-uh) is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis. Although you may not have heard its name, chlamydia is one of the most common STDs. Because there often aren’t any symptoms, though, lots of people can have chlamydia and not know it.

The bacteria can move from one person to another through sexual intercourse, and possibly through oral-genital contact. If someone touches bodily fluids that contain the bacteria and then touches his or her eye, a chlamydial eye infection is possible. Chlamydia also can be passed from a mother to her baby while the baby is being delivered. This can cause pneumonia and conjuntivitis, which can become very serious for the baby if it’s not treated. You can’t catch chlamydia from a towel, doorknob, or toilet seat.
How Does a Girl Know She Has It?

It can be difficult for a girl to know whether she has chlamydia because most girls don’t have any symptoms. Chlamydia may cause an unusual vaginal discharge or pain during urination. Some girls with chlamydia also have pain in their lower abdomens, pain during sexual intercourse, or bleeding between menstrual periods. Sometimes a chlamydia infection can cause a mild fever, muscle aches, or headache.
How Does a Guy Know He Has It?

Like a girl, a guy can also have a difficult time telling whether he has chlamydia. Some guys may have a discharge from the tip of the penis (the urethra — where urine comes out), or experience itching or burning sensations around the penis. Rarely, the testicles may become swollen. Many times, a guy with chlamydia may have few or no symptoms, so he might not even know he has it.
When Do Symptoms Appear?

Someone who has contracted chlamydia may see symptoms a week later. In some people, the symptoms take up to 3 weeks to appear, and many people never develop any symptoms.
What Can Happen?

If left untreated in girls, chlamydia can cause an infection of the urethra (where urine comes out) and inflammation (swelling and soreness caused by the infection) of the cervix. It can also lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which is an infection of the uterus, ovaries, and/or fallopian tubes. PID can cause infertility and ectopic (tubal) pregnancies later in life.

If left untreated in guys, chlamydia can cause inflammation of the urethra and epididymis (the structure attached to the testicle that helps transport sperm).
How Is It Treated?

If you think you may have chlamydia or if you have had a partner who may have chlamydia, you need to see your family doctor, adolescent doctor, or gynecologist. Some local health clinics, such as Planned Parenthood, can also test and treat people for chlamydia.

The doctor will do an exam that may include swabbing the vagina or penis for secretions, which will then be analyzed. Sometimes doctors can diagnose chlamydia by testing a person’s urine. Talk to your doctor about which test is best for you.

If you are diagnosed with chlamydia, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics, which should clear up the infection in 7 to 10 days. Anyone with whom you’ve had sex will also need to be tested and treated for chlamydia because that person may be infected but not have any symptoms. This includes any sexual partners in the last 2 months or your last sexual partner if it has been more than 2 months since your last sexual experience. It is very important that someone with a chlamydia infection abstain from having sex until they and their partner have been treated.

If a sexual partner has chlamydia, quick treatment will reduce his or her risk of complications and will lower your chances of being reinfected if you have sex with that partner again. (You can become infected with chlamydia again even after you have been treated because having chlamydia does not make you immune to it.)

It’s better to prevent chlamydia than to treat it, and the only way to completely prevent the infection is to abstain from all types of sexual intercourse. If you do have sex, use a latex condom every time. This is the only birth control method that will help prevent chlamydia.

I Need Help On STD Essay?

I have to write an essay on std’s i already have two reasons, how they are spread and how to prevent them but i need one more reason, thanks in advance

Well, here’s an idea. Gather up graphs of all the major diseases over time, from polio and leprosy and other non-STDs to HIV and herpes and other STDs. The non-STDs primarily have been declining precipitously with time while the STDs began rapidly increasing after mid-20th century. Conquering STDs has become one of the great challenges of the 21st century. That is your third reason.

writting a paper about sex education would like to here some opinions…?

i am currently writing a paper about why sex education is important in schools and not just the human body and abstinence but EVERYTHING std’s birthcontrol methods everything i am curiouse to know how other people feel about the subject and do not worry about my writing in this question or punctuation i am writing very informally

Full on sex education is necessary. Kids are going to have sex. It is foolish to think otherwise. They need the knowledge, so that they can make informed decisions and protect themselves.

C++ whats wrong with my code?

I’m using boolean variables in conjunction with coditional operators to make a short sharp password program, but theres a problem with my script…its seems that despite the correct input, it selects the “Invalid password” condition…whats wrong?

First off, dont bother initially assigning password the “tong” value.

Second, instead of…

result = (password==”tong”) ? “Access granted” : “Acess denied”;
cout << result << endl;

try this...

if (password == "tong") { cout<<"Access Granted"; }
else { cout<<"Access Denied"; }

Might just be a problem of syntax.

How long does it take?

To get the STD test results back. I know that the tests for HIV take a while but what about tests for diseases like herpes or HPV? Do the results come back the same day? If not, how many days (on average) does it take? Also, how reliable are these tests? Are they at least 95% reliable?

It usually takes about 1 week
