Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Sorry Ake, you are too thick to get into an argument with me.

HPA figures.

Page 8, table 2. New HIV infections in the UK to end of June 2009. Not even the full-year figures.

I doubt you can do the math, so here we go.

Total number for H1 2009 - 2,896

Male to male vector - 887 cases = 30.63% of total

Straight sex vector - 1,256 cases = 43.37% of total

Oh dear Ake, aren't you a proper shit for brains. I clearly stated I was using the most recent (Aug 2009) figures. You are from the Keith school of evidence aren't you? Just find some out of date stuff that suits your prejudices? Hmm?

And as this argument is about HIV incidence, it hardly matters whether it is African HIV, Peruvian HIV or whatever. Oh, unless you are also racist about disease as well as homophobic.

Fact - in the UK, new HIV infections are predominantly a heterosexual problem.
