Matt Baume! Big fan, been a follower of equalityontrial.com since it was prop8trialtracker.

Something stands out here:"Three of them were HIV-positive, though only one was getting any HIV treatment." This at a time when treatment is easy to access and usually just one med a day. The choice to be "med-non compliant" is usually because people choose to use extremely toxic recreational drugs like meth; recreational drugs so toxic that they are not compatible with AIDS meds. Meanwhile ASO's like LLAA is enabling this kind of public health crisis, by claiming that they are harm reduction based.

This is obviously a plot by Big Pharma to sell you condoms.

It sounds like the syphilis outbreak is just a symptom of the larger issue - lack of accountability and safety in the gay community. Having unprotected sex is a stupid gamble, especially in a subset of the population known for being at the greatest risk of infection.

Wait, Woodland Park doesn't count as having "an abundant supply of rabbits on hand"?

@4 - Or rabbits...

Ok, sorry. Couldn't resist the lapine humor. The syph situation is pretty tragic & horrid. My condolences to the afflicted, and I hope the news reportage helps people take better precautions.

@7 - right on!

@4, screw the big condom industry. What they don't want you to discover is the secret, homeopathic treatment to syphilis... malaria!

@9 Ha! Nazi science.

It's a fact. More persons are infected with H.I.V. and Syphillis from HETEROSEXUAL sex than other. For you ignorant republicans, heterosexual sex is between male and female. Stupid fucking republicans, always confusing the facts.
