This is an interesting chronicle of what that super HIV strain is doing to the thinking of the homosexual community.  It's like an "in-your-face" wake-up call of the nature of their rebellion, NOT issued by followers of YHVH, but by their very own bodies.

And in light of all the "rights" and tracking issues in the USofA, the ideas put forth by the homosexual community itself to stop the infection are amazing!

Gays Debate Radical Steps to Curb Unsafe Sex
----clips----
"Gay men do not have the right to spread a debilitating and often fatal disease," said Charles Kaiser, a historian and author of "The Gay Metropolis." "A person who is H.I.V.-positive has no more right to unprotected intercourse than he has the right to put a bullet through another person's head," he said.

Whether such ideas (as the article describes) gain acceptance, the fact that activists are even thinking about curbing gay sexual freedom is a huge shift.

In the early years of the AIDS epidemic, gay men protested attempts to close down bathhouses and strenuously opposed efforts by health officials to trace those infected with the virus. Until now, those advocates, driven by concerns about privacy and the stigma associated with the disease, have successfully fought off efforts to impose a traditional public-health model for tackling the spread of the virus.

Others, like Mr. Rotello, were less optimistic. Until people really believe an unstoppable virus is out there, he said, they will continue to indulge in unsafe sexual practices. "People are not going to modify their sexual habits in ways that are difficult or unpleasant until they see their friends dying again," he said. "And to me that's just an unbelievably depressing thought."
