I found--and find-- the juxtaposition of proclaimed religious belief and high incidents of stds to be curious. No one mentioned racial issues, political philosophy, or political parties-- oh, except you; but then, no one on this "Las Vegas" site would be surprised by your racial obsession. Sorry to hail on your racial preoccupation.

Blah blah blah............dude. How about proof to back up your statement that all poor folks are created equal.

PJ and Forkie, please view this data and begin the spin.

Paula Dean whistling Dixie over that rating.

Washington, DC is the #1 city for stds. Their comprehensive sex education progam you advocate has worked very well there.

You've overtaken Harry Reid for the biggest lie of the day. He said of Sheldon Adelson's political contributions, "He's not in it for the money, unlike the Koch Brothers." I said I don't pull in my driveway if a car is behind me I don't recognize. It happens about once every 2 or 3 months and takes an extra 5 minutes. I bet this guy's family wishes he would have been more aware of his surroundings. It might have saved his life.

Just because it's so...damn...funny. The MSNBC crew laughing at the gall of Harry Reid.

So wait. You're saying that because you "suspect" something, it's now my job to disprove your suspicion? You should have stuck with "blah blah blah."

Hmm, . . . whoulda thunk it? Somebody's already done the research.

__Results
Black men report the highest sexual risk and STDs at each wave and across waves. Relative to white peers, Black and Latino men have higher odds of (1) maintaining high sexual risk and (2) increasing sexual risk over time. Both sexual risk behaviors and race-ethnicity predict STD outcomes. Race-ethnic disparities in STDs remain after controlling for sociodemographic variables. Further, disparities also persist when level of risky sexual behavior is controlled.
__Conclusions
Race-ethnicity continues to differentiate black and Latino young men from white peers in terms of STDs. Development of HIV/STD prevention programs targeting different racial-ethnic subgroups of adolescent men and addressing both individual- and contextual-level factors are needed to curb STD spread.

___Results
Overall, sexual-minority women in each racial or ethnic group had a higher prevalence of sexual risk behaviors-including a history of multiple partners, forced sex and incarceration-than their heterosexual counterparts. Mixed-oriented women in each racial or ethnic group were more likely than heterosexual white women to have received an STD diagnosis (odds ratios, 1.8-6.4). Black men and sexual-minority men also appeared to be at heightened risk. Gay men in all racial and ethnic groups were significantly more likely than heterosexual white men to report having received an STD diagnosis (2.3-8.3); compared with heterosexual white men, mixed-oriented black men had the highest odds of having received such a diagnosis (15.2).
___Conclusions
Taking account of multiple minority identities should be an important part of future research and intervention efforts for STD and HIV prevention.
