I know that those of us working in healthcare have our posts deleted, in case people see challenge to the homophobic hysteria by those who the moderators admire, but you cant change the facts.

HIV testing in The UK follows recent NICE guidelines and is in line with guidance from The British HIV Association. Guidelines for local authorities, who are charged with provision of all STI testing except HIV clearly state a few truths that are sorely missing in this debate. Except that Musket sends me a copy of what he writes before it gets deleted. He tells me he has been asked for evidence from his ISP, as he is deeply shocked that this could happen, and sexual health is too important to let it drop.

This is awful, really awful. HIV is an issue worldwide, and still a larger issue here than it ought to be. About a quarter of people living with early stage arent even aware of it. They are a mixed bunch, the unmet need. SOme are gay, but we predict almost as many are black African origin, (both sexes) and to a slightly lesser extent female sex workers and younger promiscuous girls.

There is nothing, nothing whatseover to substantiate a campaign focussing on gay men. It is homophobic to do so. If people dont like being called bigot and homophobes, it would be a good start to stop expressing homophobic bigotry.

Why does Mudcat allow propogation of lies and demonisation of people? Why does it delete facts and reality, where gay bashing isnt the answer?

Stick to Morris dancing and burnt out Californian hippies, it seems to be the limit of credibility.
