Interesting sideshow and brought out a few otherwise hidden agendas in what should be an objective debate.

Here in The UK we have, for the time being, figures produced by The Health Protection Agency which people such as the ones I give strategic support to in the real world use to plan services. The worrying figures for male to male are the largest set for HIV infection They aren't the majority, but not far off.

Two reasons for this. 1. Gay promiscuity is higher risk than heterosexual promiscuity. 2. Due to previous health campaigns, more gay men present for testing than straight men or women with high risk sexual lifestyles.

The Health Protection Agency said that. Funnily enough, their public health role is being taken away as it is too polarised. The NHS and Department of Health agree that priority funding is based far too heavily on issues in isolation.   In short, whilst the trend in HIV is peaking at 6000 new diagnoses per annum to include all cases, not just gay men, the monthly figures for chlamydia are more. The only reason why needle share isn't the overall highest reason for transmission is the funded free needles avaliable.

I notice the political party Keith once said he supported would require The NHS to stop funding this and require knowledge of drug users to be forwarded to the police.

It fits with Keith's professed inability to balance and dig out the data behind statistics. If The NHS worked purely on headline statistics, it would grind to a halt as The Royal Colleges usually disagree with NICE who question HPA who question trust based coding who question what clinicians report.

All Department of Health funded.

Shallow people don't want to know that if it shags their hypothesis.

A sideshow and a smokescreen. 60 million people in The UK and Keith and his pet worm want liberty suspended for how many? Certainly not the 3000 who came forward and were positive last year. They came forward. .

So why?

Not nice, that worm you know. Not nice at all. Those that encourage him through lazy so called research need to ask themselves questions too.
