LEADS TO?

Syphilis rate up for gay men with HIV: Left untreated, the STD leads to neurological complications in 1 in 50 men, a study says. (Mary Engel, July 6, 2007, LA Times)

The medical community has a new warning for HIV-positive gay and bisexual men.

With syphilis rates in that population increasing dramatically, a study has found that, if left untreated, the sexually transmitted disease leads to mental confusion, blurred vision, difficulty walking or other serious neurological complications in about 1 in 50 HIV-positive men.


Don't they mean it's caused by mental confusion?

Actually, it leads to this guy dancing at a WNBA game. First, he is confused because mentally balanced guys don't go to WNBA games. Second, well you can go see for yourself.

But remember, they still play "basketball" at WNBA games, while the NBA consists of little more than rival gangs in a ritual display of agression and violence under a thin veneer of athleticism. "Thugball" indeed.
