django1: You're right but I don't know why you fail to see the connection between increase in homos and HIV prevalence in the state!

[size=13pt]I don't see how it's relevant. Homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, transsexual... that's arbitrary. Like I said initially, you can eradicate all the homosexuals from Benue and the HIV contractions rates will continue to rise. The problem isn't that there are more homosexuals. The problem is that there are more people using less or no protection. That's not even delving into maternal-infant contraction and transmission via blood transfusion. Lack of condom use is the biggest problem though.[/size]

^^^You say "also be aware of Enugu", and you say you're saying so from experience; so care to tell us which place in Nigeria you can go to and have sex freely......where the 'chicks' are safer, holy, and mostly virgins?

[size=13pt]Yes, however, intercourse is the number one method of transmission.[/size]



[size=13pt]I'm very much aware. It still comes down to unsafe intercourse. Straight sex or gay sex. If there's no condom, then it's not safe and they're at risk.[/size]

If its so madam, so kindly edit your previous post as it might be mis-leading. †ђε chances of getting †ђε virus from unsafe anal intercourse far out-weighs that of contacting it by vaginal intercouse by a hundred fold.

Dr.Tony:



If you understand †ђε pathophysiology of HIV then you will know why homosexual especially Male homosexuals are at a higher risk, †ђε Rectum(anus) has dense blood supply & is prone to tear on friction with any object, be it penis, this because †ђε epithelium of †ђε proximal part of †ђε rectum was not made for friction unlike that of †ђε vagina that is stratifed squamous epithelium specially designed for friction, so when there a break in †ђε epithelium of †ђε rectum it exposes †ђε capillaries there and hence tђε HIV is transmitted so easily.


Have you also forgotten that virus was first found among homosexuals in †ђε USA in †ђε early 80's.get your facts & epidemology studies right before mis-informing thousands of masses & further encouraging gays thereby increasing †ђε prevalence of this immune killer.
Thanks

[size=13pt]There's nothing to edit. Unsafe sex is dangerous period. That's the point I'm trying to make. If people have to do it, then they should do so in a safe and responsible manner. It doesn't matter if it's from the front or back. What matters is if it's safe or not.[/size]

ogugua88: [size=13pt]As terrifying as this news is, it was something else that caught my eye. How can the rising number of AIDS be partly attributed to a rising number of youths becoming homosexuals? I fail to see how that mention is remotely relevant. HIV/AIDS is not a "gay disease". Homosexual or not, Nigerians have unsafe intercourse. Even if the number of homosexuals in Nigeria went down, the rate of HIV/AIDS contraction will continue to rise until more people are monogamous and use condoms, which is currently the ONLY contraceptive that can prevent HIV/AIDS if used regularly and properly (excluding abstinence).[/size]

AIDS once used to be called GRIDS (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency Syndrome) so maybe they're trying to use that yeye argument grin

I understand your point, but statistics support the fact that the higher the number of homos the higher the HIV prevalence, that's just the way it is.

Please what has the Benue Government been doing with the money allocated to it to fight the spread??

They should first give us an account of how they have spent the money and then we can carry on from there. The masses should not be blamed yet

Because I believe if people are vigorously warned about AIDS or preventative mechanisms are preached this sort of news wouldn't come up, definitely not to this degree.

[size=13pt]That's not what it is. Homosexuals are not the only ones engaging in back door sex. It's an act practiced by several, regardless of sexuality. Implying that HIV is a gay disease is beyond misleading when heterosexual partners do what they do. It still boils down to using protection.[/size]

It has been scientifically proven that HIV rate is higher in homosexual men than in their heterosexual counterparts. Though scientists have not really been able to pinpoint the reason. One of the speculated reasons being the tendency of bruising the rectum-which is poorly lubricated-during an*al inter*course, thereby facilitating fluid exchange. There is also a higher likelihood of having a tear in the protective latex being used.

its high time the people of benue state start cautioning their govts for these gross abuse.
all in the name of getting a larger chunk of USAID funding you label your people HIV POSITIVE... thats disheartning!
its quite obvious the country pays no attention to population and statistics, so I wonder where this biopsy of the benue state govt is coming from.

[size=13pt]Don't men and women have the same kind of behind? A man's butt doesn't tear any easier or harder than that of a woman. Homosexuals are not genetically wired to transmit or contract the disease any easier than heterosexuals. The magic word is protection. Heterosexuals are more likely to use protection as they're the ones capable of getting pregnant/impregnating. If pregnancy was possible in same-sex, the numbers wouldn't be any different than that of heterosexuals. Educators have taught for the longest time that opposite-sex can result in pregnancy and disease, which is obviously true. However, the back door issue isn't taught in school. Most people who are intimate don't know what sex is or what it entails in terms of consequences. That's how we have millions of pregnant and infected teens.

What others have said about tissue tearing in same-sex is 100%. I'm not disagreeing with that. All I'm saying is that they don't contract HIV solely because of tissue tears. That's actually secondary. The primary issue is the same issue plaguing heterosexuals: being unsafe. You'd be surprised at the number of people, hetero and homo, who have "back door" sex and don't know they need to be protected there as well.[/size]

Preach ABSTINENCE sister, that monogamous stuff and condoms u just mentioned doesn't really

make sense to mua. But on second thought, when will we really draw the line on promiscuity? To me telling people to

use condoms properly or stick to one partner is like giving them a certificate to be promiscuous. Abstinence still

remains the best answer.
