Why isn't that true in Africa, then, Ake?

Doesn't that disparate curve make you ownder whether you are distorting the problem with an exclusive sample?

According to your math, then, for 1000 humans, 250 will be gay and they will get as many cases of aids as the other 750. If there are one hundred cases that means they will get fifty (a one in five (.2) chance for any individual) and the other 750 people will get 50? For a chance of .06 compared to .2. Meaning the multiplier is not 50 but a little over three.

I suspect your combining per centages is fallacious, mathematically.
