Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Keith,
Assuming that your figure of 9% of total heterosexual infections of HIV were UK acquired, rather than African imports, it follows that the 2008 figures show a UK acquired infection rate of 36.6% of the total.
That is a fourfold increase since 2003.
Seems a pretty significant rise for what you insist is a low risk group, wouldn't you agree?
It really doesn't inspire confidence in the claim that we will see no explosion in hetero HIV/AIDS cases, especially as the rate of pregnancies and STD infections proves that young women particularly are not taking the necessary safe sex precautions.
