| More than 30 years after the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, young people are again taking dangerous risks with their lives, according to a new report from the Centers for the Disease Control and Prevention. About 1,000 young people ages 13 to 24 are newly infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, each month, according to new data released for the first time. About 60% of HIV-positive young people have no idea that they´re infected, according to the report released Tuesday. Young people ages 13 to 24 account for more than a quarter of the 50,000 new HIV

If HIV-positive young people don´t know they´re infected, how does the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention know they´re infected? I´m not saying there isn´t a problem, I´m just wondering if these particular statistics have any scientific backing or if they´re more scare tactics to give the state more control over all of us.

The main cause of HIV infection among men is anal sex. Much smaller, but still the 2nd primary cause, is dirty IV needles.

Buried near the end is the only useful information; FTA: "Young gay and bisexual men, along with African Americans, are disproportionately affected. About 72% of new HIV infections in this age group occur in men who have sex with men, and 57% occur among African Americans, the CDC says."
Stay out of jail and prison, don´t get the AIDS. Or, if on the "down low" like the pResident and deluding one´s self that one is not homosexual, don´t assume immunity because the AIDS is a "white sissy disease."
Related note, ACLU is suing the state of Alabama for segregating HIV positive inmates from the general population.

A few weeks ago it was World Diabetes Day and the web was filled with scare stories about the millions of people who didn´t realize they had diabetes. Well, if these diabetics and their doctors were unaware, how did some world diabetes organization know?

I guess we´ll be seeing regular HIV articles over the next few months as everyone jumps on the bandwagon.

Since we know how it´s spread, and how to avoid contracting it, it really is difficult to have much sympathy for new cases. In the early 80´s, with the long incubation period, I felt sorry for the victims. Now, not so much.

The only people I feel sorry for getting AIDs in this day and age are women who are raped (especially those in third world countries like those in Africa and such where it is common). Otherwise, we have known for 30 years how it is transmitted and it is almost completely controllable by behavior.

Is there a person with an IQ above freezing that doesn´t know how AIDS is spread? Really? Why are they trying to make it seem that ´anybody´ can get AIDS? We all knew what caused it 30 or so years ago. What changed? Nothing. So now they embark in a propaganda campaign to 100% of the people instead of the 1% that need it. Why now? Probably the LBTG vote.
The CDC should track the carriers and warn the partners. Not too politically correct, I know. Don´t want that? Too bad. I´ve got no problem. We are all free to do what we want. When people choose drugs and anal sex it will cost us all. But, mostly them.

LONDON — The most savage wars that I have witnessed were the Rwandan genocide and the two Chechen wars. Much of the slaughter in Chechnya was murder at close quarters. The Chechens killed Russians with great exuberance. Lacking other means, they primarily used crude homemade bombs, booby traps, snipers and assault weapons. The Russian troops were often drunk, demoralized and badly led. They mostly fought back with cannon fire, heavy artillery and attack aircraft, which they used promiscuously and indiscriminately to kill civilians. The FBI and CIA are obsessed right now with the riddle of why Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

Speaking Sunday on CBS’ ”Face the Nation,” Deval (deh-VAL’) Patrick said it’s hard to imagine why someone would deliberately harm, quote “innocent men, women and children in the way that these two fellows did.” Patrick also said law enforcers believe the immediate threat ended when the police killed one of the alleged terrorists and captured the other.

Five snowboarders died in a backcountry avalanche Saturday afternoon about 60 miles west of Denver, authorities said. A group of six snowboarders started out at Loveland Pass, which is just short of 12,000 feet in elevation, but got no more than a mile down the mountain when the slide swept them away, Clear Creek County Sheriff Don Krueger told the Los Angeles Times. One snowboarder dug himself out and called for help. The Sheriff’s Office said the call came in around 2 p.m., about an hour after the avalanche. Colorado Avalanche Information Center forecaster

SEOUL - North Korea reiterated on Saturday that it would not give up its nuclear weapons, rejecting a U.S. condition for talks although it said it was willing to discuss disarmament. North Korea, in a sign of a possible end to weeks of heightened hostility on the Korean peninsula, offered the United States and South Korea a list of conditions on Thursday for talks, including the lifting of U.N. sanctions. But the United States said it was awaiting "clear signals" that North Korea would halt its nuclear weapons activities. The U.S. should not think about the denuclearization

LONDON — Russian commentators are speculating that a Chechen connection in the Boston Marathon bombings will force the United States to reassess its view of the Kremlin’s actions in the troubled Caucasus region. After the capture on Friday night of Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, the second suspect in Monday’s attack, following the death of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his brother, in a gun battle with police, U.S. authorities have yet to establish a motive for the crime. In Russia, as in the United States, attention focused on whether the bombings were connected with the politics of Chechnya, where the brothers’ family originated.

The Boston Marathon bombing suspect captured Friday night will not be immediately read his Miranda rights, a Justice Department official said. The announcement came as a debate broke out among lawmakers, lawyers and political activists over whether the suspect, Dzhokar Tsarnaev, should be prosecuted in a civilian criminal court or subjected to military interrogation and over when and whether Tsarnaev should be told about his right to an attorney. (Snip) The Obama administration appeared to be taking a middle course, holding off on advising Tsarnaev of his rights, but still directing him into the criminal justice system for prosecution.

Moscow - The main suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing are said to be two brothers from Chechnya, a mountainous and mainly Muslim republic in southern Russia that has been the scene of cyclical revolts and brutal crackdowns by Moscow´s forces for the past 200 years. Though Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev have spent most of their lives outside of Chechnya, their postings on YouTube and the Russian-language VKontakte social media site illustrate a proud attachment to their ancestral homeland and offer many hints that both identified closely with Chechnya´s defiant and fiercely independent mountain warrior traditions. Where is Chechnya?

Watertown, Massachusetts -- First there was a burst of gunfire. Then a series of blasts. Then, less than an hour later, cheers. After nearly 24 hours of a massive manhunt for one Boston Marathon bombing suspect that terrorized several cities and riveted a nation, the shouting and applause on the streets of Watertown, Massachusetts, was a welcome sign of victory. Police shouted, "Yay!" Neighbors clapped. "Is that him?" someone asked as an official in a law enforcement vehicle drove by the crowd. A person inside the vehicle said "Yes" -- and the crowd of residents erupts

U.S. police said they killed Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and were conducting a massive search for his brother and suspected accomplice, Dzhokhar, 19, on Friday after the bombings killed three people and wounded 176.

Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev posted links to Islamic websites and others calling for Chechen independence on what appears to be his page on a Russian language social networking site. Abusive comments in Russian and English were flooding onto Tsarnaev´s page on VK, a Russian-language social media site, on Friday after he was identified as a suspect in the bombing of the Boston marathon. Police launched a massive manhunt for Tsarnaev, 19, after killing his older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev in a shootout overnight. On the site, the younger Tsarnaev identifies himself as a 2011 graduate of Cambridge Rindge

In 1962, at the Carlyle Hotel in New York, a man “peeled off his clothing and began prancing around his hotel suite.” His bodyguards were cautiously amused, until the man “left the suite and began roaming through the corridor of the Carlyle.” The man in question was delusional, paranoid and suffering a “psychotic break” from the effects of an overdose of methamphetamine. He was also the president of the United States. The reason for John F. Kennedy’s bizarre behavior was that, according to an explosive new book, the president was — unbeknownst to him, at first — a meth addict.

THE graying man flashing fury in the Rose Garden on behalf of the Newtown families, the grieving man wiping away tears after speaking at the Boston memorial service, is not the same man who glided into office four years ago. President Obama has watched the blood-dimmed tide drowning the ceremony of innocence, as Yeats wrote, and he has learned how to emotionally connect with Americans in searing moments, as he did from the White House late Friday night after the second bombing suspect was apprehended in Boston.
