Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Oh Ake, you must learn to read. If you can read then you must learn not to tell lies. I am not calling you a liar, those are the two explanations for what you have said, so you tell us. Ake: Thick? or a liar?

A South-African researcher is about to trial an universal testing programme in South Africa and will give ART to all positive people, regardless of CD4 or viral load.

That is an UNIVERSAL testing programme. Not a selective one.

It is not supported by the WHO: they have said they WILL support it IF it produces good results. In South Africa.

I am already on the record as saying that I believe UNIVERSAL testing programmes are probably a brilliant idea in any country.

But unfortunately it isn't happening any time soon.

And a selective testing programme; whether aggressive, vindictive or otherwise, is still nothing more than one of your deranged fantasies.

Compliance is better in Africa, because the affected groups in The West are marginalised, not just poor. What that statement means, Ake, is that if IDU's and MSM's were not marginalised [by bigotry] then compliance would be better. This is what all the experts agree on: that prejudice and bigotry kills people.
