<< One big question it answered for me is why gay guys are so susceptible. It ends up it is because gay men use drugs at an alarmingly greater rate, particularly inhalents/poppers and cocaine, for which sustained use are likely causes of aids, than the rest of the general population. The gay community uses poppers to enhance/help them have sex easier and the KS they get when aids sets in usually starts near their nose and lungs where the drug has been used. >>
This is not true. Gay males are more susceptible because they are more active sexually and usually with many partners. Drug use in this demographic causes uninhibited sexual behavior, which leads to unsafe sex. Plus, anal sex is much too rough, usually causes small cuts around the anus, which provides and entry point for the virus. Hence the reason why this disease speads so fast in the gay community.
The reason it starts in the nose and lungs is because the muscus membrane is so permiable. |
