Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Royston, calm down.
I am not arguing anything as I have no special knowledge of this.
I was just surprised by your assertion that heterosexual HIV spreading was becoming comparable to the homosexual transmission.
Looking for specific evidence I did not notice that one site was virus denying. Their statistics I quoted were reputable but I completely withdraw them from the debate.
You neglected to respond to the peer reviewed British Medical Journal piece that refutes your claim.
I also add this evidence.
In 2007, about 77% of heterosexually acquired HIV that was diagnosed in the UK, was probably acquired overseas.


Amongst those diagnosed with heterosexually acquired HIV:

around two thirds are Black African
