Cuba worked hard to remove stigma, introduce public and school education to recognise gay people as equal members of society and a screening programme for anybody who is sexually active, gay or straight to volunteer for screening.

Other than young girls who are sex workers, the WHO sponsored screening has seen excellent results and as it is based on the UK model in part, comparisons can be made. The only difference is that their results are not taking into account those who test positive but fall through the net result treatment. Sadly.

Why is Akenaton mentioning Cuba? It is an excellent small example of the present UK screening programme and demonstrates how The UK is dealing with this problem.

The main issue for The UK is getting sub Sahara origin men and women to engage. If the rest of the at risk people engaged as well as gay men who happen to be at risk do, we might be able to reduce HIV further. It affects a very small but still significant number of people. More people living with HIV on The UK got it from Heterosexual sex than from gay sex.

Full stop.

Akenaton and his far right websites that he gets his ideas from need to find different lies because these are busted.
