Sorry Royston, but you have got it all wrong again.
You say,"25 years ago it was feared that HIV would be a problem that affected the world. It wasn't, at that time, a problem for us or for Africans on a huge scale.
Western governments decided to head it off at the pass by an enormous education drive and promotion of condom-use as a protection against infection."

Well, Asia, China and Russia did not do that, and it did not happen there either.
Then again, you seem to be claiming that the programmes worked for straights only. As de Cock says, in the industrialised world transmission of HIV among men who have sex with men is not declining and in some places has increased.
"It is astonishing how badly we have done with men who have sex with men. It is something that is going to have to be discussed much more rigorously."
