My name is Keith A of Hertford and I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to Musket for saying he never gave a link to a website and I further apologise to everybody else on this thread for saying things aren't there when any fool can scroll up and see that Musket gave the figures and when I asked if they existed in the public domain he gave a link direct to NAT and suggested they are also available via PHE / HPA.



There. That didn't hurt did it? I supplied the figures, now debate them.

I notice someone asking why Canada shows a very different picture to that Akenaton says is the case in The UK. That's easy. Akhenaton has never supplied the figures. He says he gets them from HPA ( the now defunct collator of figures to advise the government and inform public health planning) but as you can see from the actual figures I posted, which are HPA by the way, The UK and Canada are not that dissimilar.

The majority of people living with HIV in The UK are not gay and not all gay sufferers acquired their condition through sexual contact.

That said, MSM is still a significant group, although we are fairly confident the large numbers of gay people presenting for screening boost these numbers. Sadly, a larger number of women than men are diagnosed through symptom referral. In other words, when it is beginning to affect their health.

It isn't difficult. It doesn't take Keith hoping everybody can't be arsed to find my post from a few days ago. It doesn't take lies or trying to confuse intelligent Mudcat members. I doubt any normal decent person will become a bigoted specimen on the basis of reading what Keith and his mate write.

Anyone wish to talk about HIV? A fascinating subject. Especially if you don't use it to promote hate and bigotry for either religious or plain obnoxious ignorance purposes.
