Sen. Stacey Campfield: Virtually impossible to get AIDS through heterosexual sex

Tennessee state Sen. Stacey Campfield (R) falsely claimed on Thursday that it was nearly impossible for someone to contract AIDS through heterosexual contact.

“Most people realize that AIDS came from the homosexual community,” he told Michelangelo Signorile, who hosts a radio program on SiriusXM OutQ. “It was one guy screwing a monkey, if I recall correctly, and then having sex with men. It was an airline pilot, if I recall.”

“My understanding is that it is virtually — not completely, but virtually — impossible to contract AIDS through heterosexual sex.”


It is generally accepted that at some point HIV crossed species from chimps to humans, but there is no evidence that this was caused by bestiality. Rick Sowadsky of the Nevada State Health Division AIDS program noted in 1998 that it highly unlikely that HIV was transmitted through inter-species sexual contact, given the behavior of chimps and the differences between the sexual anatomy of humans and other primates.

According to the the Center for Disease Control, male-to-male sexual contact has been the most common way to transmit AIDS, followed by injection drug use and heterosexual sex.

Campfield briefly gained national attention in 2011 when he introduced legislation that critics derided as “the don’t say gay bill.”

“[Homosexuals] do not naturally reproduce,” he told Signorile. “It has not been proven that it is nature. It happens in nature, but so does beastiality. That does not make it right or something we should be teaching in school.”

Repubs are on a fucking roll this month. Waiting now for Romney to say "I believe the earth is flat" interview

Its actually from January which why I'm surprised it has gotten no coverage.

So this week I've learned that you can't get pregnant from legit rape, non legit rape makes awesome people, and only gays can get the AIDs. Election years are always when the media tries it's best to find the worst spokesperson for the party, but good fucking god I don't even think they have to try this year.

[TacoTaru]

The human body has a built in receptor to know when hetero sex is occuring and when homo is. If it's the latter, the AIDS blocker goes into place to prevent contamination much in the same way legitimate rape prevents pregnancy. It's science guys, come on.

Pretty amazing. While the average man who has sex with men has an HIV+ incidence rate up to 55 times the rate in people who don't sleep with MSM, there still are a bunch of people who don't have sex with MSM out there (around 40% of the people with HIV in America) that have been infected.

• Gay and bisexual men remain the population most heavily affected by HIV in the United States. CDC estimates MSM represent approximately 2% of the US population, but accounted for more than 50% of all new HIV infections annually from 2006 to 2009 –56% in 2006 (27,000), 58% in 2007 (32,300), 56% in 2008 (26,900) and 61% (29,300) in 2009.

Worth mentioning its a dude named Stacey, not a female.

herp derp what is a biology derpity herp

[Howie Roary]

was at a clinic the other day for routine and the guy there said they only saw 1 or 2 cases of HIV last year, in people identifying as straight, and both were recent refugees from African nations

[Restrat]

Straight people rarely get HIV tests. Only about 1/3 max of high risk heterosexuals have had an HIV test in the past year. ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19652632 )

96% of new HIV cases are spread by people who don't know they are positive. Many can be MSM who identify as straight (like guys on the DL) and who end up spreading it to their female partners, who don't get tested because of beliefs like only one or two straight people get it a year.

[Seanr]

Well hopefully this year isn't my year...

[Correction]

Probably because he's a state senator and doesn't get regular coverage from the national media seven months after the fact.
Odds are bloggers are just digging up other stupid shit republicans have said in the last 12 months to show that folks like Todd Akin aren't outliers but symptoms of something very large and ingrained in the GOP.

[Xno Kappa]

If it's legitimate straight sex, the heterosexual body has a way of shutting that down.

[Churchill]

Isn't it pretty impossible to get HIV just from normal, non-14" dong tearing vaginal sex? Especially in terms of a dude getting it from a chick? I'd like to think that's what he meant, I know it's fun to pick on your opponent this time of year but I don't think this is an Akin or Celeste moment.

While looking around, I saw the gamut in terms of info, some sort of old articles from the HIV fear days talked about it being a higher risk for women, but still a high risk for men. Other sites that quoted studies claimed 1/1000-1/8000-5/10000 chance for a male to get HIV from an infected female. I know our docs used to tell us it was less likely but not worth fucking with.


I did see this while looking for some research data on heterosexual intercourse HIV risks.

How do you think that 25+% of people in certain African countries are getting it then?

Dude, they're black. Stop trying to dance around the point.

It'll be great. Then Paul Ryan can say that the sun revolves around the earth.

Then Ron Paul can come out and say we should dunk people accused of witchcraft. If they float, they're evil, burn them! If they drown, then they were innocent.

obviously they made the chick nut and it went in their pee hole

[Correction]

The resurrection of this isolated quote pretty much ignores the larger issue that should be the focus of any counterattack against the GOP's homophobia. He's trying to make it illegal for schools to discuss homosexuality at all. Like, don't even talk about gay people or what happens to them in this or any other country. HIV? Not worth discussing because it's still the Gay Plague according to men like Campfield. Bullying against gays causing suicides and alienation? Bah, back in my day we cared about reading, writing and arithmetic and by gum that's all teachers should discuss!

The sound bite alone isn't worth getting hung up on. It's that men in power continue to marginalize homosexuality at the expense of equal rights, lives and progress towards a more tolerant nation. Yeah he's promoting a dangerously ignorant view on the risk of HIV infection but he's also okay with gay kids getting driven to suicide while denying educators an opportunity to save these fucking kids from an oppressive majority.
