The health agencies group male homosexuals and bi-sexual men, as MSM(men who have sex with men) this is now a recognised demographic.
This demographic contains an epidemic of hiv/aids and most other sexually transmitted diseases and the rates are available from all National Health Agencies.

It is in the interests of all of us, especially male homosexuals, to have this epidemic stopped or the rates of new infection decreased.

The agencies themselves, have up until now, relied on Education, Inclusion, and Outreach(self regulation), to try to make some impession on infection and transmission rates in this demographic, with absolutely no success, in fact, the new infection rates are rising more quickly than ever.

Over the past year the health agencies have been hinting that if infection rates continue to rise "other methods" of control may need to be investigated. They suggest that all members of "at risk" groups should have an hiv test annually and sexually active MSM should present themselves for testing every three months.
Of course, they have no way of compelling people to take the test and as most young MSM have no apparent symptoms, it is unlikely that their advice will be acted upon.


I think is a certainty that compulsion will be brought over the next couple of years, but by then, many thousands of new infections will have taken place.

"Rounding up" will not be required Ian(very quaint), but there should be some sort of registration with penalties for failure to test or infecting others knowingly or through negligence.
This is a serious epidemic and demands serious measures to address it.

At the moment there are no safeguards and male to male sex is simply agame of Russian Roulette.
