""Worryingly, the global decrease in new infections is not being seen in the UK. Here new diagnoses have trebled in the past ten years. HIV diagnoses among men who have sex with men in the UK rose by 74 per cent between 2000 and 2007. The UK needs to re-prioritise HIV prevention among gay men, otherwise we risk falling further behind.""

So what do we get from this?

Gay men with new HIV infections........Increase between 2000 and 2007 of 74 percent.

Heterosexuals with new UK ACQUIRED HIV infections...Increase between 2000 and 2009 of 500 percent.

N.B. The figures for gay men are total numbers of new diagnoses, without any allowance for infections NOT UK ACQUIRED.

Removing those new infections acquired abroad would obviously reduce the figure, but it doesn't suit the gay bashing tenor of these surveys to bother finding out by how much.

Ake and Co will of course dive in and claim that there are no gay African, Carribean, or other non EU, males in this country.

The comment about the rise in UK acquired heterosexual infections (from infinitessimal to miniscule) is disingenuous in the extreme, since a 74 percent increase has resulted in the current infection of just 4 percent of gay men with HIV.
