Thread Name: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Royston...you are not making sense...you say "In fact the fastest growing group of HIV+ people (straight people)"....while UNAIDS says "HIV infections are falling world wide, but homosexual infections are rising".

Are you up to your old trick of mixing real numbers with percentages?

Of course heterosexual infections are the fastest growing,(for the moment) but that point is meaningless on its own, because the hetero population is so massively larger than the homosexual population.

The only figures which bear any relevance to this discussion, are the respective percentage of infection statistics.

As the total hiv infection figures are falling worldwide and the homosexual figures rising, even in real numbers the gap will be narrowing, not widening
