Keith, why can't you just read and remember things? It would stop these circuitous wastes of time.

...sets out the reasoning and the sources for 1.6% overall HIV prevalence in MSM's. It also sets out the biggest defect in the calculation - that I don't know how to remove male children from the population figures, but I invited others to do it and to improve the figure.

But if you don't like that, then fine. Stick with the trimmed and sliced and carefully selected fact that tickles your prejudices and just stick with the 5.6% prevalence among MSM's 15-44. My point still stands, HIV is thankfully a minority experience for all groups affected in this country.

It really doesn't matter to anyone what age the HIV+ people are - unless you now have an age-related line of attack on HIV+ people? I can't see what point you are trying to make except to twist numbers again to suit some more of your prejudices.

But I am sure you will treat us to an explanation.
