America Is Charlie Sheen: CDC "Alarmed" At 20 Million New STD Cases Spike

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

Charlie Sheen’s announcement that he is HIV positive has created a huge uproar as critics attack him from every direction, but the truth is that Charlie Sheen is simply a reflection of our society as a whole.  You see, the truth is that it isn’t just big Hollywood stars that are engaged in risky sexual behavior.  According to the CDC, there are 110 million cases of sexually-transmitted disease in America today, and another 20 million STD cases are added to that total every year.  The United States has the highest STD infection rate in the entire industrialized world, and more than half of all Americans will have a sexually-transmitted disease at some point during their lives. 

Approximately one out of every four teen girls in the U.S. has at least one sexually transmitted disease, and our nation spends $16,000,000,000 a year treating STDs.  So go ahead and point a finger at Charlie Sheen if you want, but just remember that he is only a very small part of a raging national epidemic.

Now don’t get me wrong – I am certainly not defending Charlie Sheen.  I am simply pointing out our hypocrisy.  We love to tear others down while not realizing our own faults.

On Tuesday morning, Charlie Sheen told the world that he is HIV positive.  The following is how USA Today announced the story…

Charlie Sheen is HIV positive, he told Matt Lauer during a much-touted exclusive Today show interview Tuesday morning.

 

The actor, whose drug use, rehab stints, legal issues, outbursts, on-set antics and many romantic entanglements have shaped his bad-boy image, confirmed the news, which had been swirling since Monday.

Of course Charlie Sheen is not being criticized for being HIV positive.  Rather, the reason why so many people are jumping on him is because he continued to have unprotected sex even after he learned that he had HIV

When Lauer asked Sheen if he had engaged in unprotected sex since his diagnosis, the actor responded in the affirmative. “The two people I did that with were under the care of my doctor and they were completely warned ahead of time.”

Talk about stupid.

And yet millions of other Americans are also running around having casual sex with people even after becoming infected with a sexually-transmitted disease.

For example, let’s take a look at chlamydia.  According to the CDC, last year we broke the all-time record for the number of new chlamydia cases reported…

Chlamydia cases had dipped in 2013, but last year’s total of more than 1.4 million — or 456 cases per 100,000 — was the highest number of annual cases of any condition ever reported to the CDC.

 

The chlamydia rate was up almost three percent from 2013, new figures revealed.

The CDC is also reporting that cases of gonorrhea and syphilis are rising as well

The CDC report revealed gonorrhea cases totaled 350,062, up five percent from 2013, and the most contagious forms of syphilis jumped 15 per cent to 20,000 cases.

What makes these numbers even more heartbreaking is the fact that our young people are being disproportionately hit by these diseases.

Of the 20 million new STD cases each year, Americans from the age of 15 to 24 account for about half of them.

This should not be happening.  We have dramatically failed our young people, and the numbers just keep getting worse.

But instead of changing course and trying to do things differently, our entire culture continues to promote casual sex.  As I wrote about just recently, the average American spends an average of 293 minutes a day watching television.  And these days it is hard to find any show on television that is not talking about sex, and sometimes the commercials are the worst.

We need to teach our young people that there are rules, and that there can be very serious consequences for breaking those rules.

Above, I wrote about the latest numbers for chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis, but there are other STDs that are raging out of control as well.  The following statistics for HBV, genital herpes and HPV come from the American Sexual Health Association

  • One out of 20 people in the United States will get infected with hepatitis B (HBV) some time during their lives. Hepatitis B is 100 times more infectious than HIV.
  • Approximately half of HBV infections are transmitted sexually. HBV is linked to chronic liver disease, including cirrhosis and liver cancer.
  • It is estimated that as many as one in five Americans have genital herpes, a lifelong (but manageable) infection, yet up to 90 percent of those with herpes are unaware they have it.
  • With more than 50 million adults in the US with genital herpes and up to 776,000 new infections each year, some estimates suggest that by 2025 up to 40% of all men and half of all women could be infected.
  • Over 14 million people acquire HPV each year, and by age 50, at least 80 percent of women will have acquired genital HPV infection. Most people with HPV do not develop symptoms.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that we have a massive problem in this country.

*  *  *

Of course, the CDC has a modest ax to grind...

Common sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea have exploded in recent years, in part because of reduced funding for public health clinics, federal officials reported Tuesday.

 

Certainly, this is the first time since 2006 that all three of our notifiable sexually transmitted diseases have increased," said the CDC's Dr. Gail Bolan. "Some of the increases are quite alarming."

 

What's going on to cause the increase? There are several factors, the CDC says. Budget cuts are a big factor.

 

"Most recently, there have been significant erosions of state and local STD control programs," Bolan said. "Most people don't recognize that the direct clinical care of individuals with sexually transmitted diseases is supported by state and local funds and federal funds."

So more funding will help..

But we certainly don’t want to hear about “morality”, do we?

We don’t want it anywhere in our schools, in our courts, in our government or in our entertainment.

We just want to do whatever we want to do, but then we are shocked when we learn that there are very serious consequences for being so reckless.

This STD epidemic is going to continue to rage out of control until we find a solution.

Ahhh, HIV, that old bugger.  So potent that barely having any will destroy you. Unlike any other virus on the planet.

HIV is a sham, all of it.  Just the coming together of several independent things and culminating in hundreds of thousands of death by liver failure due to overdosing a failed chemo drug.

The human body is made for sex, sure, but not with 100s of partners, I don't think.  The goddess Venus is apparently angered by it (hence VENEREAL disease, diseases of Venus).

Most people think of syphilis and gonorrhea as heterosexually transmitted disease. Left out of this discussion is the fact that homosexuals are responsible for the vast majority of people infected by these diseases. In fact the gay promiscuity is responsibile for producing extreme antibiotic resistant strains of these common diseases.

"In 2013, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men accounted for 75% of primary and secondary syphilis cases in the United States. Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men often get other STDs, including chlamydia and gonorrhea infections. HPV (Human papillomavirus), the most common STD in the United States, is also a concern for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. Some types of HPV can cause genital and anal warts and some can lead to the development of anal and oral cancers. Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men are 17 times more likely to get anal cancer than heterosexual men. Men who are HIV-positive are even more likely than those who do not have HIV to get anal cancer."

All true.. The problem with this article (thus the CDC) is that 110 Million people would be 1/3 of the overall population (give or take a few percentage points).  That would include all ages.

Most of it is herpes. I got oral herpes as a kid (age 7), long before I'd even touched a girl. That's the virus that causes cold sores. I asked my dentist "How do I get rid of it?" and he said "You can't. It hibernates on your optic nerve and you get break outs when your immune resistance is low."

What he didn't tell me, and what I didn't find out until some girl hated me is that you can transmit oral herpes to a woman when.. um.. kissing the carpet? munching lunch? There it becomes the dreaded "genital herpes", which sounds horrible, but really is quite manageable. If you take care of yourself, eat and drink properly, and get your rest, it can be (and usually for me, is) years between outbreaks. Outbreaks themselves usually only last a few days. 

So, it's a true statistics, but it's like saying "90% of Americans suffer from skin disease" when for 75% of them, it's just a couple of pimples. Sounds much worse than it is usually is.

~"We need to teach our YOUNG GIRLS that there are CONSEQUENCES FOR BEING A SLUT."~

How about we teach our young men how to respect women and to not treat them or allow them to allow others to treat them like sluts? Personally I like the Ten Commandments, but Pearl S. Buck put it succinctly as well by saying...

"It may be that religion is dead, and if it is, we had better know it and set ourselves to try to discover other sources of moral strength before it is too late."

Actually Shield, it is you who displays the lack of reality. All your statement reveals is your total loss of a moral compass. That society is in a deep loss is no secret. The godless and the damned have made it so. Whether you chose to live there is a personal decision. Is virtue a thing remote? I wish to be virtuous, and lo! Virtue is at hand.

In nature there is a natural order in all things. Why should this be not so in human affairs? Are you one who believes that a matriarchal society would be better? Personally I believe that to be an aberration of Natural Law.The strong lead, the weaker follow. Gender is irrelevant. Does that sound like a dichotomy? In general, it isn't.

Centuries come and go. The one in which I live is not something of my chosing, though I would like to think that I would do just fine in any. You and I have been in this camp a long time. To insinuate that somehow I am out of touch is both a bit rude and disingenuous, er..., amigo.

It's not a case of the virus "selecting" its targets, dumbass. It's the TRANSMISSION VECTOR. HIV needs blood or other bodily fluids like semen to not only be exchanged but enter into the recipient's bloodstream.

So obviously, injection drug users who share needles will be more at risk. Sexually, my girlfriends hardly ever bleed after I kiss or make love to them, but fags prefer 1) rougher sex than heteros (in general; I know there are lots of straight people who don't mind a little spanking, for example), 2) the tissue around the anus is not as well lubricated as the vagina, so it's subject to more tears and fissures (which allow the virus to enter the bloodstream), and 3) gay men are so much more promiscuous than straights, it's unbelievable. It all adds up to many more opportunities for the virus to enter. 

I lost an in-law to AIDS, and (after hiding it for years until he finally collapsed), he confessed on his deathbed that he would go to the bathhouses and have sex with a dozen or more men in one night. I once had two different girls in 24 hours (Friday night and Saturday afternoon), and I thought I was a huge stud (I was 19, eh?). He'd do two guys in ten minutes. 2 nights a month x 12 men a night x 5 years - that is almost 3,000 men! Even if only 1 in 100 men was infected, if he's having sex with a dozen people a night, anyone who knows anything about geometric progression is going to realize that we were headed for an epidemic.

Yes, yes, captain obvious -- we've all heard the conventional theory ad nauseum for 3 decades now.  No need to repeat, just as no need to repeat what's on CNBC 24x7.

Tons of information arguing aids is caused by chemical poisoning, and that hiv virus is harmless:

http://www.duesberg.com

The gay lifestyle often includes very risky behavior -- multiple partners, enough drugs to kill a small horse, high rates of STDs and constatly taking massive doses of antibiotics to ward off the STDs.  This is what damages the immune system.

Yes, a failed chemo drug targeted at fags.

The worst aspect of the HIV scam is psychosexual politics by the pathologisation of sexual intimacy - the condom stop. One's body is quite capable of fighting off whatever comes along, so long as the systems aren't confused.  that HIV test you're getting, is probably a test for HTLV-III antibodies. not HIV itself, which to date I have yet to see convincing evidence was isolated.

I don't buy the biowarfare stories, but I do believe certain elements of certain churches and the pharma industrie worked together on the management of GRID into HIV & AIDS.  There is a confluence of events in the 1960's and 70's that did result in a lot of queers dying. in a nutshell,

LOTS OF DRUGS + DOUCHING + availability of WATERBASED LUBES + LOTS OF RECEPTIVE BUMSEX + UNTREATED/UNCURED STI's +/or antibiotic PROPHYLAXIS + MALNUTRITION (think, not eating and surviving on meth during the day and then having phenobarbitol or seconal to sleep - the body will BREAK ITSELF DOWN to feed itself.  then you will score very highly on p24 band in IB (western blot test)  )  {some think nitrite inhalants had a role too.}

there is one more thing required for an epidemic and that is a group of people all in the same state of internal filth and confusion ( i mean this in literal terms, not moral/judgemental);  by the 70's the hedonistic imperative had taken over fagdom.  basically a bunch of dudes roaming from orgy to orgy all in an immunocompromised state.  none of these men gave their bodies a chance to recover. 

Naturally this represented an opportunity for the baddies to capitalise on ; Find a common antigen and call it a gay disease for which there is no cure.  But to get money they had to fearmonger HIV/AIDS as something that would spreaad to the heterosexual world and wipe 'em all out.

Hence the condom.  fagdom ran with it, and probably saved themselves in the process.  it doesn't alter the facts about immunocompromised lifestyle however.  Meanwhile teenagers all over the western world were , at least the credulous ones, deprived of a proper moment of intimacy when they first tried sex.  Wait, we have to get the condom.  Fortunately the less sober members of our society just charged on through. :)

think of the psychological harm though.  subtle sex-fear and paranoia about a test that proves that your body is doing what it should, even though you may not have.

--------------------

Anyway, if you must have bumsex (straight or gay), I recommend two things if you choose not to use rubbers;

1) receptive partner should not douche

2) use an oil based lubricant.   think almond oil or olive oil.

--------------------

If Charlie Sheen didn't get it from Needles, and didn't get it from receptive bumsex, we can reasonably assume his P24 band on the IB test is a result of immunocompromise from banging 7 gram rocks.  if 'the virus' is undetectable in his blood, it's probably because he simply cleaned his act up and never had a virus in the first place.  IOW he's a dupe.

Anyone wanting to avoid enslavement to medico-legal nonsense only has to do two things;  Don't live recklessly, and don't get tested for HIV.  Once you are caught up in their lies, they won't let you go. Won't matter if you live clean for 18 months and then test negative...they'll call that "receding positive".  Constructs like that should ring very loud alarms in your head.

"Don't live recklessly, and don't get tested for HIV."

Oh yes, and of course remain monogamous. Rhymes with monotonous for a reason. 

Let's not talk about love (Cole Porter song). I am sure that you are sure you will find that "perfect partner" but until you do the doors to monogamy are closed to you: you are 'condemned' to sexual vagrance i.e. 'sleeping around' or if you prefer, "promiscuity". Being so condemned, the only thing you can do is protect yourself against infection - so just do it. By the way, "venereal" comes from "Venus" - Goddess of Love.

freewolf7;  the economics are a bit more complex.  here in kiwiland, meth users are often middle class and wealthy. ( i am given to understand australian ice use is ubiquitous in the 'burbs)

remember meth was a weight loss drug for housewives..it was once legal.  the true stuff, not crank or crystal made by jack-turd in a dirty room

so while the hippies were out doing the love thing, stoned-ass houswives were on a meth induced crazy train driving them out into the streets in droves.

you want to find out why people stopped giving a shit in the USA?  look directly at big pharma.  The barbituates slid right in behind heroin and opioids like laudanum and they were 10 times more effective with less noticable side effects.  when the patents ran out they controlled them tighter and started with the benzos aka valium.  and the same damn barbituates-tweaked housewives are taking to sleep every night of their lives RIGHT NOW.  and they get a sore neck from sleeping all day and night and go to the doctor who gives them heroin aka oxycontin, a drug that was intended to only be given in hospital after major surgery/injury for no more than three days.

5 people have DIED in recent days in San Francisco and Santa Cruz from taking a Xanax - a fake xanax which actually has lethal amounts of fentanyl in it.  

NOw, who would go to the trouble of stamping legit looking Xanax's and stuffing them with fentanyl ?  (that's a very potent opioid, effective in VERY small amounts)

"there has been an erosion in the funding for STD control programs"

"we have dramatically failed our young people"

BULLSHIT: young people have information out there and access to it every day. They teach courses on it in every single school as young as 5th grade. if they're running around giving eachother STD's why is that our fault? At some point, young people need to take responsibilities for their actions and own them. Getting an adult to accept blame for their indiscretions may be the cute politically correct thing to do, but it isn't doing our young people any good.

disagree - I found sex ed very helpful, as it wasn't coming from my parents (christian fear of talking about things)  The way it was done in the 1980s public ed was fine and appropriate. 

The ol' baseball analogy about the catcher's mit ?  that was funny.   Even late 1970s elementary school i remember some drug education that was pretty cool.  

Better to do some propper education than ignore it.  I saw an article in the Sydney Morning Herald recently with mothers, parents, bemoaning that their teen girls are being talked into anal sex more and more - that is the result of porn, and that's why propper school sex ed can help to dispel that kind of thing.

Pointing at genital herpes rates as indicating a crisis is insane. It didn't even carry the STD stigma until the 70s when our friends in pharma started working on treatments. Another victim of marketing. Well over 90% of the population carries at least one form of the herpes virus, and both forms can infect any area, it's just HSV-1 is more prone to infect the mouth and HSV-2 the groin.

Likewise, HPV is so prevalent it's a marker you've had sex. It didn't have much of a stigma either until the magic HPV vaccine appeared. And that's 14M of the 20M new "infections."

So between HSV and HPV, 17M of the 20M infections -- 85% -- are scare-mongering BS STDs hyped to sell treatments. Yeah, america has a problem alright, but it's not these STDs. HIV, syph, those are real STDs and the size of the problem is nowhere near as large as protrayed -- still very serious things that need to be treated and controlled if possible, but this story is just one more peice of constant-fear propaganda not unlike the ISIS bullshit.

All of these diseases existed prior to their treatments, and it wasn't a crisis. HIV killed people fast, that was/is a fucking crisis.

Tell you what, let's just distribute all our public health resources by infection rates, and send 85% of the funds and R&D to Merck for more Gardasil, no sense in worrying about that little 15% that kills people. Because that's exactly what bullshit hype like this story is using does.
