And it still doesn't change the FACT that an increase of 500% is larger than an increase of 74%.

True that MSMs were the first group infected in the WEST, so the actual numbers infected are different. Nevertheless, heterosexual infections are increasing 6.76 times faster than MSM infections, regardless of the point of origin of the victims.

This knocks down the opinions expressed in this thread about male homosexuals being more promiscuous, and therefore more at risk than heteros.

Anyone having unprotected sexual intercourse is at risk, as the figures for other STDs clearly show, and those figures also show that promiscuity is a serious problem in young hetero women.
