Do Gay people have a higher percentage of std's and aids in the US?
Gay individuals are at a higher risk for certain STDs, including HIV/AIDS, due to various factors like stigma, limited access to healthcare, and riskier sexual behaviors. However, not all gay people have higher rates of STDs and AIDS; rather, it is about higher risk factors within certain populations. It's important to promote inclusive sexual health education, access to healthcare, and destigmatization to address these health disparities.
How many teenagers get STD every year?

What percentage of gay people have AIDS?
Firstly, you'd have to determine how many gay people there are. We don't really know how many there are. BUT, you can estimate. SO, if you say that between 5 and 20 percent of the American populace is composed of gay males, THEN you say that there's about 300,000,000 people in the U.S., AND there's about 140,000,000 males, THEN there's between 7,000,000 and, at the most, 28,000,000 gay men in the U.S. The CDC did a study on MSM, gay men, that said 1 in 5, 19%, of participants were HIV+. I don't believe that this represents the whole of gays because of how the study was done. I heard somewhere else that about one percent are HIV+. So, that leaves you with a huge margin. Between 1-19% of gays are HIV+, or between 70,000 and 5,600,000 gays. (NOTE: This is mainly speculation and has vary wide margin of error. I answered this to kill time mainly.)

What are some pros of same-sex marriage?
Opinions from various contributors:Denying same sex couples the right to marry is a violation of civil rights because marriage is a legal civil status. It provides homosexual couples with the same legal rights as heterosexual couples.It standardizes the rules of inheritance in the event that a deceased spouse does not leave a will.It creates the same responsibilities to spouse and children as does heterosexual marriage.Marriage benefits (such as joint ownership, medical decision-making capacity) would be available to all couples.Homosexuality is an accepted lifestyle nowadays with most evidence proving biological causation.Denying these marriages is a form of discrimination.It commits the community which grants the marriage license to honoring that relationship.It doesn't hurt society or anyone in particular.The only thing that should matter in marriage is love.The number of child adoptions should increase since gay couples cannot procreate (although some might see an increase in gay adoptions as an argument against same-sex marriages).It encourages people to have strong family values and give up high-risk sexual lifestyles.The same financial benefits that apply to opposite sex marriages would apply to same-sex marriages.More children would find themselves in a family with married parents since many gay and lesbian couples have children of their own with either gay friends or through in vitro. Many children look forward to when their parents can be married.Contributes to family stability.Allows for assignment of distinct household roles, such as breadwinner and caretaker, if desired.Reduces economic burden of income tax, inheritance tax, real estate transfer tax, etc.Creates a new family, which takes precedence over both partners' prior families and thereby prevents them from remaining as "children" well into adulthood.Provides security of knowing that spouses will be acknowledged and treated as one family unit in times of crisis and that their relationship will not need to be proven or explained to others.It has no effect whatsoever on the institution of marriage since marriage is a civil legal institution.It strengthens family values by including and welcoming same sex spouses and their children into the community. This has been indicated to lead to less bullying of homosexuals and their children.There are lower STD rates among married homosexuals than among non-married or cohabiting homosexual couples.Married homosexual couples on average have more children then non-married homosexual couples. If homosexuals are married, they are more likely to be raising children, thus contributing to the future.As with heterosexual marriage, same-sex marriage tends to "stabilize" people. Keeping the marriage intact requires forethought, personal responsibility, personal and financial self-discipline, etc.The spouse of a sick, injured or disabled person is the "first responder" and care-giver, and has the legal authority to deal with doctors, hospitals, care residences, etc. The spouse also becomes eligible for inclusion in the other spouse's medical insurance. The spouse thus provides services that might otherwise be the responsibility of the state.It automatically grants a spouse the right to make medical decisions in the event that the partner cannot, which saves time and -- potentially -- a life.The married couple forms an economic unit with joint responsibility for debts. This not only helps to protect the bank or business that holds the debt, it can also help the couple to exercise financial responsibility. And if one partner is not working (or is working as a homemaker and child-raiser) the other person's income can support the household.In times of emotional stress, partners support and guide each other through difficult decisions. Spouses have the legal authority to assume full responsibility if their partners are disabled or otherwise incapacitated.Married couples have more resources for raising children, and there is no ambiguity about parental legal authority nor question of gender based parental superiority.They cant choose who they like, so a Good thing about homosexual marriage is that they are happy, society should be equal so there is no difference in marriage

Sexual Health and Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
Sexually transmitted diseases are commonly referred to as STD's. These diseases have become increasingly popular in the United States in recent years. STD's are typically passed from one person to another during sexual intercourse. If one individual is infected with one or more of the many STD's, that individual can pass it on to their partner if protection is not used. Even when protection is used, there is still a small chance of catching an STD from someone who has one. One common misconception is that many people believe STD's cannot be spread during oral sex. This is not true. In fact, STD's such as herpes can be spread through oral sex. Certain STD's can also be spread through contact of the blood. There are over twenty different STD's that a variety of people have become infected with. These sexual disease can occur in people of all ages and the diseases do not discriminate on race and gender. If a child is discovered to have an STD, normally the Department of Human Services will get involved. As with all diseases, some STD's are more serious than others. Some of the most common sexual diseases include Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis. All three of these STD's can be cured with proper medication upon being diagnosed with the disease. However, if the individual suffering from one of these diseases does not seek medical assistance, he/she will suffer from a number of health conditions that could even lead to death. More serious STD's include Herpes, Hepatitis B, and HIV/AIDS. There are some medications that can help control herpes breakouts but the medicine will not cure the herpes all together. As of right now, there is no cure for HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis B. While there are some medications designed to help control these incurable sexual diseases, because there is no cure, many people end up dying because of these diseases. It is important to be careful when choosing to have sex with a partner. While having sex, an individual should always use protection or make sure that their partner is using protection in order to help prevent catching STD's. Without the use of a condom, the risk of catching an STD is much higher. To be on the safe side, those who are sexually active should get tested for STD's at least twice a year, if not more.
