AIDS at Epidemic Proportions Among Homosexual Men
A new study released by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) indicates that almost 20% of homosexual men have the AIDS virus. An even more shocking aspect of the new study shows that nearly half of those men are unaware of their infected status.
While the new findings correspond to older research on the topic, this new study is the largest study ever conducted regarding AIDS infections among homosexual men.
According to a calculation by the Kaiser Family Foundation, a pro-homosexual research organization in Washington D.C., less than half of 1 percent of Americans have the AIDS virus. However, according to Kaiser Family Foundation spokeswoman Jennifer Kates, homosexual men continue to be infected at much higher rates.
“We don’t have a generalized epidemic in the United States. We have a concentrated epidemic among certain populations,” Kates said.
This is quite a revealing statement. Of course, what Ms. Kates means is that the AIDS virus is at epidemic proportions among homosexual men. For perspective, imagine if 20% of women had breast cancer and half of them weren’t even aware of their status. Such a statistic would be staggering.
The key difference is that the AIDS virus is totally preventable if individuals abide by biblical sexual ethics.
The results of the new CDC study are lamentable. God has made clear his standards for human sexuality in His Word, the Bible. His intended outlet for our sexuality is in lifelong heterosexual marriage. God’s standards clearly prohibit homosexual behavior, and immoral sexual behavior often has long-lasting or even deadly consequences.

Hope for Homosexuals
God’s love is not reserved for people who have always had everything “straight.” Instead, God desires to have a relationship with those who have gone astray. And while there is a great price to be paid for our sin; God has already paid it in full. Hope can be yours today if you will open your heart
Matthew 19:4-6
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
