Just the Facts: AIDS & the Homosexual Lifestyle Statistics! WISCONSIN HIVAIDS QUARTERLY SURVEILLANCE SUMMARY Cases Reported 1983 through March 31, 2007 Cumulative AIDS cases by exposure category and sex

FACT – In Wisconsin during 1997, your Federal and State taxes funded 8.3 million dollars directly for AIDS—the equivalent of more than $104,000 for each AIDS death, but only $35 for each death from heart disease and stroke (Federal only) and $568 per death for (certain) cancers.  Yet heart disease and stroke in Wisconsin during 1997 accounted for 17,300 deaths, and cancer for 10,500, while AIDS accounted for only 80 as the underlying cause of death.  Funding per AIDS death is almost 3,000 times more than that for heart disease and stroke, and 200 times more than for cancer.  ( Wisconsin Dept. of Health / Nation Center for Health Statistics)    

FACT – During 1997, AIDS funding by the City of Madison and Dane County , from your tax dollars, to the Madison AIDS Network totaled $514,904.  There is no city or county funding for any other disease.  In Dane County during this same year, 566 people died as a result of cancer, 934 from circulatory disease, and only 6 from AIDS.  Interestingly, over 55 percent of the 1.5 million dollars funded through various sources (1.2 million from your tax dollars) to the Madison AIDS Network each year goes to pay salaries and benefits!  Of the total income in 1998 of $7,948,493 for the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin , $4,421,230 was used for salaries and benefits.

FACT - Surprisingly, as many people die from reaction to aspirin each year as from AIDS.  Last year, more people in the U.S. died of pneumonia and flu, from Alzheimer’s, cirrhosis of the liver, Lyme disease or even from falls than from AIDS.  ( Wisconsin Dept. of Health / National Center for Health Statistics / Jeff Jacoby, the Boston Globe)

FACT – The first recorded AIDS case’s in the U.S. was in the mid to late 1970’s, and occurred in New York , Los Angeles , and San Francisco .  At first it was called GRID, which stands for Gay Related Immune Deficiency.  This name was given because homosexual men were the only patients.  In 1981 the first reported AIDS case (by that name) was recorded by the Center for Disease Control.  AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency (Acquired because you get it from someone else).  The case was known as patient “Zero”, a possible Air Canada steward from Montreal , who die in 1984.  He contacted the disease as a result of sex with other men.  (Wisconsin Dept of Health and Family Services, Division of Public Health – Center for Disease Control – The 20^th Century, with Mike Wallace, A&E Television Network,  – AIDS, What the Government Isn’t Telling You, Dr. Lorraine Day, Rockford Press, Palm Desert, CA. – WI State Journal, 6/23/99.      

FACT – The first recorded AIDS case in Wisconsin was in 1982.  Records indicate that the recipient was a male who contacted the disease as a result of sex with other men, and came to Milwaukee from another state.  Statistics show that the number of heterosexual women diagnosed with AIDS is increasing, and sex with infected bisexual men is the leading cause.  The disease is then passed on to their newborn children.  (WI. Dept. of Health and Family Services)  See statistics above concerning heterosexual contact.  

FACT – Hate crime hoax in schools. During 1997 and 1998, the State of Wisconsin Department of Justice Assistance recorded a total of 14,734 aggravated assaults, only one of which was listed against a person because of his or her sexual orientation at school.

FACT – Although it cannot be proven that homosexuals account for more than 2% of the U.S. population, the Center for Disease Control reports the homosexual lifestyle accounts for more than 50% of sexually transmitted diseases.

FACT – The average age of death for U.S. married men is 75 years as compared to 42 years for homosexuals – 79 years for married women as compared to 45 years for lesbians. (Cameron Medical Consequences)    

FACT – Seventy-five percent of individuals around the world infected with AIDS live in sub-Saharan Africa , where uncontrolled perverted sexual activity gives AIDS fertile ground to spread. (World HIV and AIDS Statistics)

    Rabbi David Eidensohn, director of the National Non-Sectarian Council of Pro-Family Activists states, “Gays do not have the right to infect themselves and others and make us pay for it.”  Barnyard treatment for irresponsible behavior is demeaning. Mons. Jacques Suaudeau, Pontifical Council for the Family observes, “We have dealt with man as if he were an animal treated by a veterinarian, rather than a human being created in the image of God.”            

Behind the above statistics are countless crushed lives.  The life of an AIDS patient is no less precious than that of someone with any other disease.  But it isn’t more precious, either.  Besides, AIDS is simple to avoid.  Unlike most cancers, unlike muscular dystrophy, unlike Lou Gehrig’s Disease, unlike diabetes, unlike Alzheimer’s, the statistics above prove that the vast majority of AIDS cases are caused by willful behavior.  Anyone that abstains from sex or has sex only with a faithful spouse, and does not use intravenous drugs, has much less chance of getting AIDS then dying in an airplane crash, being killed by a donkey, or winning the Powerball Lottery Jackpot.  Since only the act of sodomy differentiates an active homosexual from a heterosexual, it is hard to justify preferential handling for a disease almost anyone can prevent! Sarah Ruden, a freelance writer who lives near Cape Town, South Africa, declares, “The Christian churches are best positioned to bear the greatest responsibility . . . . they can fit traditional teachings about chastity and monogamy into programs to fight the disease.”
