Oh, and Keith, there was a time - when my life was more interesting in that way - that I myself attended quite diligently for an MOT at the GUM clinic. I am responsible and well educated. I know what I'm taling about But I understand how difficult that is for many. You neither understand nor know what you talk about.

There is presently a general education campaign - on buses, tubes, TV, radio, appealing for heterosexuals to get tested for the diseases that are prevalent amongst their sexually active demographic groups.

I think there should be a similar general education and appeal towards gay men - because not all gay men receive the deluge of materials and outreach directed at the gay ghetto.

By the way, Keith, I am properly delighted to see your prejudices still oozing out. I don't even need to pull your strings anymore, do I?
