A surge in “chemsex” parties, where some people spend days getting high on drugs and having sex with scores of partners, is refuelling epidemics of HIV among gay men in European towns and cities, doctors say. Despite much higher risks of contracting the virus that causes AIDS, as well as other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), users search online “hook-up” apps like Grindr for tags such as “high and horny” or “party and play” to find others wanting drug-heightened and often anonymous and unprotected sex.(Snip) Chemsex is characterised by the use of drugs such as crystal meth, mephedrone and GHB,

And the straight world will be castigated for "turning a blind eye" to the plight of these innocent victims.

Sounds like a new grievance group soon to be a protected class.

Does this mean we need to start setting aside more AIDS funding? Because people are too stupid to realize how AIDS is contracted and then stop doing that?
How many people have died from incurable and unavoidable diseases because money was diverted into this pointless exercise in trying to save people from their own self-destructive stupidity?

It's just their way of committing suicide.
Let them.

Euros cannot reproduce fast enough to maintain their population, but they excel at killing themselves in meaningless acts.

I care not at all as to how degenerates choose to hasten their own demise.

After reading a little of this, I find myself thinking about historical things like Sodom and Gomorah, Fall of Rome orgies, and Hollywood back in the 60's. Though I suspect that the media is hiding the fact that Hollywood is still having these parties, and the media is turning a blind eye, or they are participating as well. As Solomon said, 'Nothing new under the sun,' for he had seen it all in his lifetime. I always got the impression Solomon was very depressed by that concept when he wrote it as well.

As I've gotten older, I've become more inclined to let people with self-destructive behaviors proceed without intervention. Why give druggies Narcan when they'll OD again in a day or so? Why force people into rehab when they relapse again and again? Both just seem to be a colossal waste of time, energy and money. Why should we want to save someone more than they want to save themselves?

@#10 - Because there is money to be made in Narcan, rehab and AIDS 'research'. It has spawned the Overdose Industrial Complex.

I remember the gay bathhouses of San Francisco (and Chicago) of the early 1990s when HIV first appeared, and the homosexuals began organizing politically to demand that we do something about it. We needed to spend a lot more taxpayer money to fight this scourge of AIDS that was killing all those innocent homosexuals (though they insisted it was not a "gay" disease but could infect anyone. When you had a thoroughly corrupt governor such as clinton selling the infected blood of state prisoners, spreading it to the general population, it was certainly possible.)
The politicizing of the AIDs epidemic was a disaster for medicine. We could not demand that people stop doing risky behaviors, we could not track the spread through different partners (it was a "privacy issue") and the only solution was to develop a cure. Typhoid Mary would have been appalled.

The need for perverts to fuel their lust with drugs only underscores the reality that gay sex is nasty and unpleasant. That they largely ignore HIV risk is further admission of their self loathing. Somewhat like playing Russian Roulette.

FTA: "The result, AIDS experts say, is that in cities across Europe, HIV is spreading rapidly among men who have sex with men – leading to concentrated epidemics in hard-to-reach groups."
Hard to reach? They seem to have NO problem easily "hooking up" with others of their type on social media.

The average lifetime cost of HIV treatment is around $400,000. Which the rest of us bear BTW.

It is really a shame that so much money was wasted on HIV research.

You've heard of self-cleaning ovens. This is the human equivalent.
