The study you cited was flawed from the start. It specifically targeted homosexual populations and took its samples there as opposed to a random sampling from the total population. If you take 500 samples from group A and only 100 samples from group B, it is not a valid comparison of incident rate.

Also, from other studies, it looks like a similarly high rate of infection occurs in hospital patients and in sports teams.

Source showing increases in hospitals and sports teams.

Source stating infections have increased across population demographics for the past decade.

Source showing a marked increase in both hospital acquired and community acquired cases across all demographics.

Source showing hospital wards to be the breeding ground for the infection.

Basically what we have here is a staff infection that is souped up because of our over-dependence on antibiotics. It has really nothing to do with homo vs hetero lifestyles and the whole study from UCSF is misleading. It portrays the infection as belonging to a demographic despite all evidence to the contrary.

Wash your hands, folks. That's the best prevention; doctors have been telling you that for years. Maybe it's time to listen?
