   LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles County health officials say three   
   of eight people who contracted bacterial meningitis this year   
   have died — and all three had sex with other men.   
      
   On Wednesday, health officials urged gay men to be vaccinated   
   against the invasive meningococcal disease, which can spread   
   through close contact such as kissing or sharing drinks.   
      
   However, authorities say the men didn't have direct contact with   
   each other and there's no actual outbreak in the gay community.   
      
   The department on Thursday confirmed the deaths in February and   
   March of three men ages 27 or 28 — including two who were HIV   
   positive. Of the other five people who fell ill, four are out of   
   the hospital and one is hospitalized but recovering.   
      
   Free vaccinations are being offered to those without health   
   insurance.
