The Bitter Truth

WHY IN THE HELL IS IT THAT BECAUSE OF A FEW MORONS’ BAD BEHAVIOR WE ALL MUST SUFFER?

‘Results of a new national survey of 864 physicians and 1,339 members of the general public revealed that a significant majority of both groups believe that mandatory, federally funded HIV testing would improve the overall health of the U.S. population.
The national e-survey was conducted by HCD Research during February 12 -14, as part of its continuing investigation of the social, political and economic issues confronting the U.S. health care system. The margin of error in the survey was plus or minus 3% at a 95% confidence level.
The survey revealed that among the general public:
-- 63% of Americans believe that mandatory, federally funded HIV testing would improve the overall health of the U.S. population
-- 60% indicated that the associated health care benefits of mandatory, federally funded HIV testing outweigh the social implications
-- 40% indicated that the social implications of mandatory, federally funded HIV testing outweigh the associated health care benefits’


Are you people entirely crazy?
The responsibility falls on those who spread the damn disease. Although the word I should use is irresponsibility...from the New York Times:

‘the growing popularity of crystal meth in New York, which many say has led to an abrupt increase in unsafe behavior and a spate of infections. Although exact figures are difficult to determine, a recent survey of gay men found that 25 percent had tried crystal meth in the last few months.’

And...

‘Although the number of AIDS-related deaths has plummeted since the advent of a more potent class of drugs in the mid-90's, the rate of new infections has remained unchanged at about 40,000 cases a year, frustrating many advocates.’

Why? Maybe this would explain it...

‘According to the researchers, 42.9 percent of homosexual men in Chicago's Shoreland area have had more than 60 sexual partners, while an additional 18.4 percent have had between 31 and 60 partners. All total, 61.3 percent of the area's homosexual men have had more than 30 partners, and 87.8 percent have had more than 15, the research found.’

Or this regarding the possibly new HIV super virus ...

‘The two male contacts in New York, only one of whom is cooperating with the investigation, are among hundreds of men with whom the New York man told health officials he has had sex in recent weeks while using crystal methamphetamine.’

‘60 sexual partners’? ‘Hundreds of men...in recent weeks’?
Hmmm...sound like any of your sex lives? If so, go get checked. But don’t you dare make a law to force me to do the same.
