Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
The difference between general population UK, effectively zero prevalence, and the MSMs and African born, is to do with their practices.
The second part is not racist. It acknowledges that the virus does not discriminate between racial groups. The difference is what people do. That includes Royston's precious networks, but the networks established in Africa would take time to become established here.
In my links you will find details of the high risk practices that were found to be prevalent in the African communities here.

When considering epidemiology in a population of 60 million Royston, "luck" can not regarded as a serious factor!

Lox, I have been pointing out that the infection levels in heterosexuals are far lowere that the rare disease criteria.
Now we see that most of those are accounted for by a newly arrived high risk group.
They caused your dogleg up turn.
Before that upturn the incidence was, and still is, comparable with lightning strike. no one is campaigning for intervention on the risk of that!

I do not have any specialist knowledge and merely report the work and considered opinions of the experts in the field.
Royston and Lox, from what position of authority do you challenge these groups who all endorse the information I have provided?
