Northwest Indiana Discussion

NEW YORK — New York City public health officials warned gay and bisexual men last week about the detection of a new strain of HIV that rapidly progresses to AIDS, and is immune to multiple classes of HIV-fighting drugs.

Flanked by representatives from several New York-based gay and AIDS organizations during a Feb. 11 news conference, New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene Commissioner Thomas Frieden announced that the new strain of HIV — known as three-class antiretroviral-resistant HIV, or 3-DCR HIV — was found in a gay man last December.

The man, whose identity is being withheld, is in his mid-40s and admitted to taking part in unprotected anal intercourse with multiple sex partners, often times while high on crystal methamphetamine, according to New York health officials.

Well Duh what was this guy thinking???
