PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS AGREE THAT SEXUAL CONTACT IS THE PRINCIPLE DRIVER OF TRANSMISSION....

(82,849 posts)Benjamin Ryan's handle bills himself as a writer, not an editor. You want proper spelling and usage, don't ask this writer!
Maybe he should change it to @benryannincompoop.

(13 posts)No its not a typo, rather a sort of joke, as a way to actually warn other gays. I think its only meant for gays. At least thats what Im reading after reading the other tweets.

He's a one-man epidemic. ☠☠☠☠

That is about the best one I've ever seen, a classic Fraudulent Slip if ever I saw one.

(23,015 posts)I don't know much of the country it's gotten to, but there are verified cases in Chicago and the surrounding area, to name one example.

I was a nurse when GRID appeared, changed to AIDS when women and kids who needed blood transfusions and blood products developed it, and finally changed to HIV when the virus was isolated. That one isn't easy to catch, either, but people are still getting it. It's also not strictly a gay men's disease and, like monkey pox, never was.
