Question 5

i'm wondering was gay sex the root cause of std aids?

Accepted Answer

Not the source: The best research indicates that aids started in central African monkeys who were the food for Chimps who then became food for humans in that area.  Transmission is by blood to blood contact and the thin lining of the anus during anal sex makes blood to blood contact more likely.  So this type of sex was not the cause, but the agent for spread.

what are some non std causes of penile discharge?

Nothing: Almost all penile discharge is due to an STD, usually gonorrhea, chlamydia, or nongonococcal urethritis. NGU is sometimes mistaken for a non-STD problem because no standard STD shows up on testing. But you only get it from sex. You and your sex partner(s) need treatment. Don't screw around with this; get care promptly.
