I'll ignore that piece of nonsense Don.

Ian...you are just being silly.
Those who should register are of course those in the demographic most severely affected, MSM.....Have you discovered what that means yet?
HPA say that there are just over 600 000 MSM in the UK, 66% of all new HIV and syphilis infections are amongst that 600 000(2011 figures)...the up to date figures will be well over 75% if infection rates have continued to rise at 7 to 9%.

This is an epidemic, which would cripple the Health service...and the economy, if it was affecting heterosexuals at the same rate.

What is so hard to understand about that?   Forget your agenda, these people need help not platitudes

In Cuba, the authorities instigated compulsory testing and contact tracing whenever the condition made an appearance, Cuba now has the lowest HIV infection rate in the world.
