Nope. From sex or using needles. Guess what? Poverty has NOTHING to do
with sex. However, people living in poverty or lower socioeconomic
status may have a disproportionate level of substance use? Possible
but unclear. Even if that is true, drug use is hardly restricted to
poor people.

But you can also say lung and colon cancers, diabetes, stroke,
cardiovascular disease and a host of other infections and disorders
are associated with so-called 'lifestyle' choices. So what?

The question makes no sense. You want to send more young people to die
in a war based on outrageous lies and deception that was completely
botched? If Bush was a real leader, he'd've fired Rumsfeld. Mission
NOT accomplished, largely because of Rumsfeld's idiot notions. If Bush
had been a real leader, he wouldn't have sat around listening about
some fucking goat for 20 minutes while the US was facing terror at
home.

LOL. Anal sex is not the problem. People do it all the time.
Heterosexuals do it a lot. The problem is HIV. The problem is lack of
safer sex information and knowledge.

Sharing a needle is a problem. Needle exchange programs can thwart
that and reduce the spread of HIV which reduces burden on the public
health system. There's plenty of scientific evidence to support that.

But yer an ignernt cuss and undoubtedly nothing I say will have any
influence on your tight closed little mind.

I wish you luck in waking up before you die.
