Indiana Shut Down Its Rural Planned Parenthood Clinics And Got An HIV Outbreak

What does Planned Parenthood have to do with intravenous drug use? Stupid thread.

Because they got HIV from the drugs...Planned Parenthood tests for HIV. Too complicated for you?

to Find HIV use test. Test at Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood gone tho.
Here's an idea...

1. Don't do drugs.

2. Keep your pekker in your pocket.

3. Keep your legs closed.

There... all fixed.
 
Scott County, Indiana, the center of an exploding HIV outbreak, has been without an HIV testing center since early 2013, when the sole provider -- a Planned Parenthood clinic -- was forced to close its doors. The clinic did not offer abortion services.

The Scott County clinic and four other Planned Parenthood facilities in the state, all of which provided HIV testing and information, have shuttered since 2011, in large part due to funding cuts to the state's public health infrastructure. Those cuts came amid a national and local political campaign to demonize the health care provider. Now, the state is scrambling to erect pop-up clinics to combat an unprecedented HIV epidemic caused by intravenous drug use.

The fact that Scott County was "without a testing facility until a few weeks ago is a glaring example of the kind of public health crisis that results when prevention and testing are left unfunded," said Patti Stauffer, Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky's vice president for public policy.

Indiana's GOP-led state legislature was one of the first to declare war against Planned Parenthood in 2011, when it passed a bill that defunded the family planning providerbecause some of its clinics offer abortion services. A federal judge later blocked that law from going into effect, but the state has continued to slash various sources of funding to Planned Parenthood at a time when the cost of operating a medical facility continues to rise.

In 2005, Planned Parenthood of Indiana received a total of $3.3 million in funding from government contracts and grants. By 2014, that funding had dropped to $1.9 million. Five of Planned Parenthood’s smaller clinics in the state -- the health centers in Scottsburg, Madison, Richmond, Bedford and Warsaw -- were unable to keep up with the growing technology costs that were necessary to remain competitive as a medical provider. All five clinics that were forced to close had offered HIV testing. None had offered abortions.

Even without five of its clinics, Planned Parenthood's HIV testing in Indiana has been increasing each year. Overall, the provider's 25 remaining clinics in Kentucky and Indiana gave more than 8,000 HIV tests in 2014, about 1,000 more than the previous year. And the numbers would certainly be higher if the five shuttered clinics in Indiana had been able to continue to operate.

Stauffer said if the Planned Parenthood facilities in Scottsburg and Madison, both in southwest rural Indiana, had received the funding they needed to stay open, they could have been a vital resource in preventing the current HIV outbreak.

"We applaud the state’s public health officials in acting to address this epidemic, but we also encourage our legislators to adequately fund public health efforts to protect all Hoosiers from future health crises from HIV and other devastating outcomes," said Stauffer.

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) has warned that the HIV outbreak amounts to an epidemic. Last week, he broke with previous policy to create a temporary needle-exchange program to stem the tide. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


And there you have it....the unintended but easily forecastable problem with closing down Planned Parenthood because of the name instead of the services provided.
HIV is probably the most preventable disease we've ever had. It is almost exclusively spread by behavior that people KNOW is wrong. We wouldn't need testing centers if people would simply do the right thing.
You realize that most people globally with Hiv/Aids are heterosexual right? So being gay or not doesn't reduce your risk of getting it.

Uh, you obviously have no comprehension of statistics.

Yes, gays are a LOT more likely to get it.

Worldwide (read..AFRICA), women get it a lot, because their HIV infected homo/drug addicted/sex market boyfriends and husbands bring it home to them. They infect their women, who in turn infect their unborn children.

But in THIS country, it is almost EXCLUSIVELY transmitted between homosexual men.
Too stupid as always.

Actually ... in this country ... almost 1/3 of new cases reported are among heterosexuals...

Which means that if you're queer you're more likely to get it.

Yes assclown Faun - IV drug users.

Virtually ZERO cases are passed through normally, biologically sound, sexual conduct.
Well, except when your partner is a drug addicted prostitute..or from Somalia. Which are one and the same thing...

Even then, very unlikely.

IV users and recipients of anal sex are pretty much the entire at risk population. Yes gals that means if you don't have 100% trust in your man, don't let him fuck you up the ass.

Same with everywhere else... African men believe that GIVEN Homo-Sex is perfectly normal... the RECEIVING MALES... THEY'RE THE QUEERS! And that is how a majority of the AIDS is spread in Africa.

It's the sort of crazy cultural depravity that also says that if a married man dies, his wife goes to his brother.

Such is the nature of evil.

Yup, you're a conservative alright. Too stupid to understand what your fellow imbecile said. He didn't say avoiding those risky behaviors reduces the chances of contracting HIV to almost zero percent. He said normal heterosexual sex does. That's beyond fucking retarded and such ignorance is one of the reasons HIV is spread. Because morons like him don't understand how it's spread. The fact of the matter remains ... Even [unprotected] heterosexual sex with someone with HIV is risky. Certainly far more than "virtually zero cases."
