When The "Sharing" Economy Goes Too Far: Syphillis Cases Soar 79% In A Year

Tyler Durden's picture




 

"What's mine is yours, for a fee," is the mantra of the new normal "sharing economy," as various segments of our heretofore under-utilized assets are variously 'rented' out for the enjoyment of others. However, as a report by the Rhode Island Department of Health suggests, perhaps we are sharing just a little too much. Sexually transmitted diseases are on the rise in the US, with health officials pointing the finger at casual sex arranged through social media as "the perfect storm." With gonorrhea up 30%, HIV infections up by 33%, and syphilis soaring a shocking 79% in the last year alone, perhaps they have a point.

The report notes that "new cases of HIV and syphilis continued to increase among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men at a faster rate than in other populations," adding that "infection rates of all STDs continued to have a greater impact on the African-American, Hispanic, and young adult populations." As RT reports,

While better testing partly explains the increase, health officials also highlighted “high-risk behaviors that have become more common in recent years,” such as “using social media to arrange casual and often anonymous sexual encounters.”

 

Other risky behavior factors were: “Having sex without a condom, having multiple sex partners, and sex while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”

 

Rhode Island officials say their alarming STD rates are part of a trend throughout the US. Although the latest statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are from 2013, there have been reports of spikes in HIV and syphilis from New York and Texas to Utah.

An STD clinic in Salt Lake County, Utah, has started asking patients about specific contact apps. Lynn Beltran, an epidemiologist at the clinic, told ABC she was not surprised to see a rise in STDs.

“It’s been the perfect storm,” said Beltran. “Our attitude kind of shifted, where it became more acceptable to engage in casual sex.”

 

Beltran said she had seen an uptick in syphilis and gonorrhea rates, and that many of the newly diagnosed patients said they were sexually active through dating apps.

Finally, and rather interestingly, RT adds,

Between 2003 and 2009, when prostitution wasn’t illegal in Rhode Island due to a clerical error, the state registered a 39-percent decrease in gonorrhea infections among women. A 2014 study by the National Bureau of Economic Research also found a 31-percent decrease in the number of rapes reported to the police.

Let me get this straight. It took the highly paid .gov in RI 6 years to discover a "clerical error"?

From their research that may or may not have been the point, I would suggest making prostitution legal, drugs legal, and politicians that make over $30K/yr ILLEGAL.

So STD are racist little buggers and the government needs to infect more of whitey with them.  A new Dear Leader Obama equal opportunity infection initiative will start next week headed up by the Justice Department and the Surgeon General's office.

Gay and bisexual men (like bathhouse barry and the Chicago ballerina boy) account for the vast majority of syphilis cases.

And gay bi men make up less than 10 percent of the population.

This is absolutely true. Unfortunately they are also very promiscuous with numerous partners so the number of cases can rise exponentially.

Anyone knows that if they are fucking a bar girl in Thailand, that they use a condom.  They know that they are having sex with someone who has fucked pretty much everyone, so they are careful.  The 99cents only stores sells a dozen condoms for ... 99.9 cents.  A trip to the doctor is considerably more.  People are pretty stupid... all the time.

They might be two very different things, yet somehow, in real life, they are well correlated with each other. Despite your claims to the contrary.

The terms "dirty slut", "filthy whore" and "disgusting faggot" were invented for a reason.

The percentage and even the absolute number of cases of syphilis and gonorrhea in the USA are tiny, really miniscule,  in comparison with what they were 50 or 80 years ago.  the over subscribing of penicillinn, amoxycillin, and other antibacterial drugs, for every ninny who comes in with a cough or a cold, has devastated the incidence of these two diseases.

 

HIV, though , is a different story ....

I lived in San Francisco in the 80's.  Gay is pretty much gay.  If anyone is having "Bill Clinton sex" with or with anyone of the same sex, that is gay.  I am not judging and I really do not care.  What is, is.  Own it and do not be a weasel about it.

The only problem is when one is embarrassed.  F'n own it and it will not own you.  Think about Vanessa Williams, Miss America.  She posed in some lesbian looking pics that were eventually published in Penthouse (a few times).  She is an incredible entertainer, go see her.  When you see her, think of Amy Grant (that is a different story).

Do you ever wonder why they do not use actual figures, only percentages.

In all of Rhode Island maybe a few people caught Syph and now 7 people have it.  It used to be the hysteria between aids and women, smoking and cancer.

They play the percentages to the hilt, but actual numbers probably wouldn't excite anyone.

Rhode Island officials say their alarming STD rates are part of a trend throughout the US. Although the latest statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are from 2013, there have been reports of spikes in HIV and syphilis from New York and Texas to Utah.}}}

 

'Alarming'?? really well like with the 'Alarming' Heroin Crisis in central & western massachusetts(from West of I 495) , doesn't 'personal responsibility' play any part in this?? I mean sleeping around without protection especially with such trashy people like when one chooses to dabble with opiates is a CHOICE one chooses to make. Like with the opioid crisis in Central & Western MA (eastern Mass hasn't seen this scourge) "subsidized treatment" ie. taxpayer picking up the tab is the answer to both these 'crisises'..

Actually, the only really alarming thing about this is the amount of antibiotic resistant GC we are seeing. I've seen a couple of treatment failures. One guy came into the ER again with severe abdominal pain. Had a massive abscess full of GC in his abdomen and spent a week in the hospital. Another I received 50cc of green pus full of GC in an eye and knee joint after treatment.

Unfortunately GC tends to wander throughout the body when treatment fails. One would hope the sex was good to warrant such an after effect.

Can't say I have ever seen a case such as this from a patient living in a rich zip code. Most are lower socioeconomic classes, people whoring around on the border and college students.

Being that rape was mentioned in this piece, came across a couple interesting articles on Sott involving fundamentalism and rape.  Apparently a large portion of Israelis believe forcing sex on an acquaintence is not rape.  Another article written by an attorney involved in sex cases in the US and familiar with fundamentalist indoctrination discusses the links between the two.

Ms. This is a good point. As an Israel expert here (lived in Israel ~7 years, currently on hiatus), the pervasiveness of rape probably has a lot to do with the society and culture.  There is first the fact that it is NOT a white European culture where mates are chosen by individual attractiveness and preference.  Jews and especially Israeli Jews are a communal culture with historically enforced endogamy, meaning that for , literally, thousands of years it was cousin marriages or forced arrangements (to maximize economic prowess and intellgience).  Thus, genetically and behaviorally going into it, there is less a focus on consent and voluntary behavior.  

However, the most salient reason for the abundance of rape in Israel is violent hierarchies established in forced military service.  Israeli women are gorgeous in the 18-20 age range.  They are also in uniform, most likely under a male.  You frequently see high ranks with "secretaries" who follow them around all the time.  If you want to get anywhere in Israeli society, you need first to get somewhere in the military - otherwise you're working at a gas station.  Raping and getting raped, while not complaining, become rather normalized by the time women enter society at age 20 (After the army).  This extends throughout the hierachies in so-called civilian life (when in reality, Israel is Sparta).    This is why you have so many high profile rapists running institutions like the Police and, you know, the Presidency in Israel.

The other kicker, of course, is that in Israel if you say you're a Jew (and you're not) and have consensual sex with someone who is a Jew - the State considers that rape.  So while Jews are more or less comfortable being rapey amongst each other other - Goys are not afforded the same privilege. 

Of course, I'm not sure how any of this relates to the Media/Hollywood/Silicon Valley destroying American values other than you find American Jews at the forefront of the "sexual revolution" which has seriously injured the country's morality, while at the same time they are the ones who tend to have  extreme rules about not having sex whom they are allowed to breed with, while yelling "racist" at the white people or black people who want to stick within their own group.  Well, really only yelling at white people in that instance.

You know when antibiotics went into widespread use, right?

Dope.

Gay men have singlehandedly been responsible for creating antibiotic resistant strains of syphilis and gonorrhea in the last 30 years. Relentless promiscuity combined with chronic use of antibiotics (in the 70s and 80s many gay men would just take antibiotics continuously so they wouldnt have to bother to wait for the inevitable symptoms to appear) led to the antibiotic resistant strains we are seeing today.

Sun, 05/31/2015 - 11:21 | 6149173 Urban Redneck

Antibiotics are used (among other things) to treat infections after they have already occurred.

If you think the faggots "have singlehandedly been responsible for creating antibiotic resistant strains of syphilis and gonorrhea in the last 30 years" then perhaps you should go back to highschool and take some basic biology courses.  Unlike humans, bacteria don't give a shit about sexual orientation, or even the species of their host.  Bioacculumation of antibiotics throughout the entire food chain and waste cycle provides massive breeding grounds for bacteria and almost infinite opportunities for the natural evolution of resistance to antibiotics. 

Go find patient 0 for each new antibiotic resistant strain of syphilis and gonorrhea over the past 30 years and then you can accuse the queers of single handedly causing the problem (natural evolution), until then- you are passing unscientific hyperbole off as an argument.

The core problem isn't sexual orientation but promiscuity as it has always been throughout history. Improper use of barrier protection or no use is part of this.

Rape or sexual abuse is form of power abuse. Plain and simple. In 10k years of human history rape of men, women and children was a part of open and deliberate effort to subdue conquered nations.

The horrible fact that we are mostly descendants of raped women and men has been carefully hidden from pages of school history.

This practice became so entrenched in the peace time (if it ever was) culture that women were being trained to "choose their rapist" (husbands) rather than being raped or sexually abused by random men (women) possibly repulsive physically to them. Economic collapse pushed millions of unemployed men and women into the streets into business of prostitution.

In truth, however denied, not much has changed since those days.

Coming neo-feudal era will do away with so XX century notion  of right to marry or to be able economically and socially afford one. Rich in the west will have even bigger harems with men and women for whom right to their own family will be denied like in "old good" days. 

Concentrated wealth and power abuse in its sexual dimension is a true mirror of society true civilized aspiration.

The USA are caught between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, they're told by liberals that sex sex sex, and then some more sex is great. Trouble is, it causes diseases, social isolation and sometimes, crippling addictions or downright PTSD states. On the other hand, they are told by the conservatives that sex is baaad, because repent the end of the world is nigh and sinning is for sinners and hell and brimstone are awaiting masterbeiters, who are low-life scum and the devil will bake them. Which, of course, is unacceptable by anyone over two years old and will push anyone over 18 to have sex sex sex, along with the diseases, the loneliness and the addictions, all in the name of liberty and the justified rejection of their hectoring. 

Which can only be solved by gagging BOTH the liberals and the conservatives, and freely weighing in what's good for your health, both mental and physical, and for the people around you.

Like yeah, never saw that coming with the political advocacy of homosexuality while there is still no bloody cure for AIDS! It's the anal syphilis and gonorrhea that have gone up. Can't hardly wait until the double revisions to come out...

 

Also way up:  

AIDs cases in US, homosexual rapes in the military,and rape of public school children by teachers (2000% greater than any Catholic issue). There is 50,000 new cases of AIDS each year in the US, 20,000 dead each year from AIDS and 70% of these are homosexual or needle users. 25% of the dead victims are youths, 13-24 years old and 60% in this group didn't even know they're infected. 50% of those infected with AIDS are black. 35-40% of gay men say they  were molested by a gay man, only 4% of hetersexual men say the same thing. Cost of (free) AIDS treatment is $30,000K/ year and WH is promoting the free treatment for gay illegals to come here. We don't have enough for our own sick gays.

Ask me again, "How does homosexuality hurt society?"  Society can tolerate gays without advocating and promoting it. So sorry if I don't feel like baking a cake with two dudes on it today, but it would also offend muslims.
