Most Hispanic men are exposed to HIV through sexual contact with other men, followed by injection drug use and heterosexual contact. Most Hispanic women are exposed to HIV through heterosexual contact, followed by injection drug use.
HIV/AIDS was the third leading cause of death among Hispanic men aged 35 to 44 and the fourth leading cause of death among Hispanic women? Their children will be born with AIDS!

REMEMBER, AIDS IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING ! Its not just Aids/HIV read below please.
Because illegal immigrants, unlike those who are legally admitted for permanent residence, undergo no medical screening to assure that they are not bearing contagious diseases, the rapidly swelling population of illegal aliens in our country has also set off a resurgence of contagious diseases that had been totally or nearly eradicated by our public health system.
According to Dr. Laurence Nickey, director of the El Paso heath district 鈥淐ontagious diseases that are generally considered to have been controlled in the United States are readily evident along the border ... The incidence of tuberculosis in El Paso County is twice that of the U.S. rate. Dr. Nickey also states that leprosy, which is considered by most Americans to be a disease of the Third World, is readily evident along the U.S.-Mexico border and that dysentery is several times the U.S. rate ... People have come to the border for economic opportunities, but the necessary sewage treatment facilities, public water systems, environmental enforcement, and medical care have not been made available to them, causing a severe risk to health and well being of people on both sides of the border.鈥?
鈥淭he pork tapeworm, which thrives in Latin America and Mexico, is showing up along the U.S. border, threatening to ravage victims with symptoms ranging from seizures to death. ... The same [Mexican] underclass has migrated north to find jobs on the border, bringing the parasite and the sickness鈥攃ysticercosis鈥攊ts eggs can cause[.] Cysts that form around the larvae usually lodge in the brain and destroy tissue, causing hallucinations, speech and vision problems, severe headaches, strokes, epileptic seizures, and in rare cases death.鈥?
The problem, however, is not confined to the border region, as illegal immigrants have rapidly spread across the country into many new economic sectors such as food processing, construction, and hospitality services.
Typhoid struck Silver Spring, Maryland, in 1992 when an immigrant from the Third World (who had been working in food service in the United States for almost two years) transmitted the bacteria through food at the McDonald鈥檚 where she worked. River blindness, malaria, and guinea worm, have all been brought to Northern Virginia by immigration.3
"By default, we grant health passes to illegal aliens. Yet many illegal aliens harbor fatal diseases that American medicine fought and vanquished long ago, such as drug-resistant tuberculosis, malaria, leprosy, plague, polio, dengue, and Chagas disease."
鈥淲hat is unseen is their [illegal aliens鈥橾 free medical care that has degraded and closed some of America鈥檚 finest emergency medical facilities, and caused hospital bankruptcies: 84 California hospitals are closing their doors.鈥?br>

Contrary to common belief, tuberculosis (TB) has not been wiped out in the United States, mostly due to illegal migration. In 1995, there was an outbreak of TB in an Alexandria high school, when 36 high-school students caught the disease from a foreign student.4 The four greatest immigrant magnet states have over half the TB cases in the U.S.5 In 1992, 27 percent of the TB cases in the United States were among the foreign-born; in California, it was 61 percent of the cases; in Hawaii, 83 percent; and in Washington state, 46 percent. The Queens, New York, health department attributed 81 percent of new TB cases in 2001 to immigrants.
Costs of Medical Care
Immigrants are often uninsured and underinsured. Forty-three percent of noncitizens under 65 have no health insurance. That means there are 9.4 million uninsured immigrants, a majority of whom are in the country illegally, constituting 15 percent of the total uninsured in the nation in the mid-1990s.6 The cost of the medical care of these uninsured immigrants is passed onto the taxpayer, and strains the financial stability of the health care community.
Another problem is immigrants鈥?use of hospital and emergency services rather than preventative medical care. For example, utilization rate of hospitals and clinics by illegal aliens (29 percent) is more than twice the rate of the overall U.S. population (11 percent).7
As a result, the costs of medical care for immigrants are staggering. The estimated cost of unreimbursed medical care in 2004 in California was about $1.4 billion per year. In Texas, the estimated cost was about $.85 billion, and in Arizona the comparable estimate was $.4 billion per year.8
One of the frequent costs to U.S. taxpayers is delivery of babies to illegal alien mothers. A California study put the number of these anchor baby deliveries in the state in 1994 at 74,987, at a cost of $215 million. At that time, those births constituted 36 percent of all Medi-Cal births, and they have grown now to substantially more than half or the annual Medi-Cal budget. In 2003, 70 percent of the 2,300 babies born in San Joaquin General Hospital鈥檚 maternity ward were anchor babies. Medical in 2003 had 760,000 illegal alien beneficiaries, up from 2002, when there were 470,000.9 let him take it back to mexico with him No they should go back to their own planets for treatment. I don't think any illegal aliens should stay in this country, no matter what the reason. depot them & let'em keep on giving in mexico No, I do not. Firstly, we do not need more people with AIDS in our country, and secondly, they are ILLEGAL. If we don't want the healthy illegals, why in the world would we want the ill ones? No; not because of the medical condition, but because of the manner that the person came here. An ill person can get admittance to the US for treatment. They must follow legal procedures. We're humans. I was going to say no. But?? Not only hispanics have HIV!! Most among men are Blacks and white also.
I do not like your slogan: REMEMBER, AIDS IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING. You might receive it one day!! Why?? So we the tax payer has to pay for their health care/ treatment?? I will pass, send ALL illegals back to their home country!! Let their home countries pay for their medical treatment.
BTW being "gay" has nothing to do with AIDS or being illegal or race.
Also this is why there are health screenings for LEGAL immigrants. We are not trying to import more diseased people into this country, we have enough citizens with diseases. Don't need anymore. No, know with an infectious desease should be let in this country . If you are here illegally, you deserve nothing but a point in the direction from which you came and a good swift kick in the hind quarters to get you started.
I am all for imigrating to this country, that is what is great about this country, however, there is a legal way in which to do this...use it!!! Why in the hell do you think the American tax payers should pay for their poor choices? This is definitely the dumbest question ever on Y!A No illegal aliens. Period. Who cares if they are gay? Hello...ditto,
Sorry Ditto but your question rubs me the wrong way.
What's your question? Gay people or illegal aliens or people getting Aids? If the people want to get sick that's their problem . We should just be concerned about the Children and nothing else.
People like that are so ignorant. They never learn. We need to teach the adult people what to do for the children. People that pass it on to others are self centered selfish people.
They are pathetic !
You don't have to be Gay or an illegal alien to pass on aids to children in any country. People need help period! So stop complaining and do your part to help the problem. I do, how about you? Have a nice day.
Love yourself and love God.
Sincerely... J No-one entering the country illegally should be allowed to say. But your ignorance about gay men and AIDS is astounding. Most women are infected through heterosexual relationships, and most of the men are straight not gay. All people can get HIV through unprotected sex with an infected partner.
Incidentally, you cannot gain legal residence in the US if you have HIV; in fact, you can't even get a tourist visa - Reagan saw to that, and the law has not been changed under successive Presidents. Thats true but also true for every race in every town in the world. What a racist statement. no they should be treated equally. if they will let a gay immigrant stay then y not a straight one. just wouln't make sense Of course I do they are human beings too. Not everyone with AIDS/HIV got it because they were stupid or careless, do you think people want to catch this sh*t on purpose, so I wouldn't see a problem in giving them the best treatment, regardless of what country it is...if they going for treatment they have been told and educated about why they have it and how not to spread it. So because some ignorant peice of sh*t spread it around that means everyone else should suffer in their own messed up medical community? No, they should be able to get any treatment necessary for any disease or health issue and where ever they see fit to seek it. Yes there are alot of people in the US with Aids/Hiv and several other STD's, their are just as stupid or ignorant as anyone else, you wouldn't want another country to refuse help because they weren't one of their "own". Live and let live, they are dying people here, why not let them die with peace and proper meds.
As far as the children thing goes, these woman should be "fixed"...anyone with deadly disease should be no matter the heritage or country of origin.
MDM YOU NO AIDS IS SERIOUS BUT YOU GOT A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO IT IS A PROBLEM WITH JUDGING PEOPLE I WILL PRAY FOR YOU YOU NEED IT |
