Thread Name: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
" "Independently of human rights, there is a clear and strong public health rationale for effective
prevention among men who have sex with men and transgender people. If we want to prevent
HIV infections, it is essential that more effective prevention efforts (which are inextricably linked
with treatment and care) among groups with higher prevalences be undertaken."

Please read, digest and try to comprehend what this means...thank you. "


Ok, I did.

I see no recommendation that Gay human rights be curtailed.

I see no recommendation that Gays should be quarantined or subjected to compulsory testing.

I do read that there is concern that prevention efforsts so far are not as effective as they need to be.

I also read that treatment and care need to involve a higher emphasis on prevention than is currently the case.


Finally, I also note that you have provided a quote without providing a link, so we can have no iidea of what came before or after.

Consequently we can have no clue what the context is or what was meant in relation to the phrase "independently of human rights".

Depending on what came before, this could mean many things.
