Mounting HIV/AIDS rates among gay men in Asia, 365gay.com.

I posted on this topic already, referencing an article entitled “Gay men fuelling HIV/AIDS spread in Asia, says [World Health Organization].” Note the very different headlines; one is responsible and factual, the other inflammatory and presents a distorted view. This is part of the power that media has to shape conversation when it comes to issues relevant to the gay community.

The AIDS virus is spreading rapidly among gay and bisexual men in Asia as younger people shun condoms and authorities fail to increase awareness of the disease, health officials said Friday.

The epidemic will worsen dramatically in coming years unless there is better education and stronger political will to combat the disease, warned Massimo Ghidinelli, the World Health Organization’s regional adviser on HIV/AIDS.
