999...Sorry. I've been in bed for a few hours.
I referred to the CDC figures that 53% of all new cases in the US are among homosexuals. As homosexual make up 2-3% of the US population, the likelyhood of homosexual or heterosexual contraction can be easily extrapolated by most people.

Smedley...Thank you for your honesty.
Do you not think that the lower priority of health matters has something to do with the "Risk taking" referred to earlier....and do you put any credence on my view that manic depression may affect the behaviour of many homosexuals?

Manic depression is more widespread in all sections of the population than most people realise and can lead to all kinds of risky and destructive behaviour like addictions, promiscuity etc....Ake
