Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
What I said on 11 Jan was wrong. It certainly went beyond the available evidence.

The only thing that can be concluded is that it "Probably" won't happen. Exactly as de Cock says.

Now are you ready to withdraw your "no risk to our heterosexual population" comment?

And are you ready, finally, to engage on the real reasons for HIV prevalence in certain groups - which cannot be differentiated by behaviours, as these behaviours are shared by the most affected and by the least affected groups.

It is the essence of this whole debate: that minorities suffering most with HIV are not suffering because their behaviour is "worse" or "less good" or "more risky" than the behaviours of others. That there should be no moral judgement against some, in the fight to control and defeat the spread of HIV.
