GfS, both you and Ake rattle on constantly about homosexual promiscuity.

Just four in every hundred gay men are HIV positive. This simply does not support the claims of rampant promiscuity. Rather the opposite.

You have repeatedly stated that the highest risk factor is anal sex between males.

Please explain how 96% of gay men could possibly beat the odds so comprehensively.

Could it be that your cherished perception of gay men as promiscuous risk takers is wrong?

Could it be, that, in common with heterosexuals, their pairings are about other things than sex, perhaps even the "L" word, which you always place in inverted commas.

You have all signally failed to address the above questions, and unless you can do so in a logical manner, your whole argument is in tatters.

Your comments please.

Don T.
