MRSA deadly virus like HIV

Researchers have found a new deadly virus Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus(MRSA) is beginning to appear outside hospitals in San Francisco, Boston, New York and Los Angeles, they say that this disease is being transmitted among the gay men during sex. Sexually active gay men in San Francisco are 13 times more likely to be infected than their heterosexual neighbors. Researchers at the University of California said that, once this disease reaches the general population, it will be truly unstoppable. This disease has already killed about 19,000 Americans in 2005. The bacteria can cause deep tissue infections if they enter the body through a wound in the skin.
