No, Keith, the 500% increase in heterosexually, UK-acquired cases stands as a cause for concern. That the infections were contracted by straight people living and shagging in this country makes the colour of their skin pointless. They are members of our general population and only a mad racist fantasist would think that this is of no significance to all members of the general population.

But this, and many other observations, have been to make ethical points. That we can't and shouldn't throw blame at any one or any group and that we need to educate all our citizens - particularly the at risk groups - about the dangers of HIV and how to prevent its transmission. The other ethical point is that stigmatisation of HIV status, and of people at risk, hampers efforts to combat the spread of the disease, so society needs to be more open, embracing of diversity and progressive.

You have been denying, or refusing to accept, those ethical points and the fact that you feel it so essential, while not engaging on the issues, to keep twisting and turning the truth so as to appear to remove support for those points, is the reason that I - and many others - suspect and accuse you of being a racist and homophobic and generally right wing sort.

I though that once Ake disproved his own arguments, and then you provided evidence that assuaged your doubts about my assertions (My point 5 of a week or so ago), that you would both stop this nonsense. But you're still at it and Ake has, I suspect, only gone quiet temporarily.
