"Not once in this whole discussion have you responded to the fact that 96% of gay males are HIV negative."

Much has been made of the fact that "only" 4% have HIV.
(The corresponding figure for straight men would be about 0.0007%)

One, tragic reason the figure is so low is that it has killed so many already.
How much bigger would the figure be if the 18 000 gay dead could be restored to their natural lifespan?
If there was a land where an incurable, fatal disease had already killed a large chunk of the population, and 4% of the survivors had it, there would be official warnings not to got there.
The international community would probably impose a quarantine.
Even the great flu pandemic of 1918 only killed 3% of the population.
