SORRY ABOUT THE SPELLING/grammar , watching the TV and got distracted.
You guys take good care of yourself. Use a condom... Maybe it will help. Who knows.
Don't need to be a organ donor too soon in life for Obama's new health care trick.

Isn't it enough that AIDS is killing your kind that you don't need to be in EVERY GD thing printed or posted on the net? maybe you aren't included for a GOOD reason, like"bath house behavior" ie.; bare back, and multiple partners regularly (daily) and other great red blooded American habits. Dude, you poke each other in the hind a lot, know what I mean. like it or not, that is an exit. Right?
Now, let's get this right. ED comes on before cardiac symptoms. Meaning that I can't get it up and now I'm freaking stressed out totally. In about 3-4 years I rip a blood leak of brain pop. Duh... stress, lack of sex maybe? nah, that would mean that a good Muslim would also have the same stats. Right? They are virgins aren't with the burka and all, never get to see any women but western girls? lol what a life this is for them.
It's a man thing dude..... your choice ya see....
Oh, I do associate with gays, no problem. It's the sheep that give me the hibigeebies.... all that hair and stuff.

Sometimes, Gays and Lesbians seem to report instances of various diseases in significantly different percentages than heterosexual people. We don't know why, because there is a poverty of research. We might better understand and treat disease in all people if we also understand the degree of influence of homosexuality, be it from biologic, environmental or social factors. We at the national Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender cancer survivor support and advocacy nonprofit, Out With Cancer, ask for identification, inclusion and analysis of Gay and Lesbian people in all clinical trials, where sexual identify and sexual gender exclusion are irrelevant to the study question.
We are all fighting disease, together. It is only right, just and helpful to include all people, where we might better understand how to live life healthier and happier.
