Their Sexual Proclivities Are Killing Them
By Austin Ruse, Crisis Magazine:
[…] Independent researcher Dale O’Leary published a hair-raising paper in The Linacre Quarterly two years ago called “The Syndemic of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases (STD) among MSM” that tells a plethora of uncomfortable truths about MSM.
Note her use of the term “syndemic.” This is beyond both an epidemic and a pandemic. A syndemic is two or more diseases in a population “in which there is some level of positive biological interaction that exacerbates the negative health effects of any or all of the diseases.”
In the world of MSM, it is not just HIV/AIDs, which is still rampant and growing. There are other diseases that tag along, many of which are deadly. In addition to these diseases there are also contributory pathologies such as promiscuity, alcoholism, drug abuse, and violence.
She writes, “In the 1970s, physicians were treating the large number of conditions affecting the lower intestinal tract of MSM under the classification ‘gay bowel syndrome.’ These included viral infections, infectious diarrheal diseases caused by bacteria and parasites, and injuries caused by anal sexual activity.”
