There are 96000 people in the UK who are HIV-positive. The population of the UK is over 60 million. 60 million divided by 96000 yields less than one in 600. 599 Brits in every 600 are HIV-negative. Rough numbers, of course, but that doesn't alter the obstinate fact that HIV is quite rare here, unlike in many African nations, in which it is massively more common, and in which infections among heterosexual vs infections in homosexual people wouldn't raise much of an eyebrow.

You like to piddle around with numbers, so here's another bit. 375 died from Aids in a year. So you have less chance of dying from Aids in any given year than you have of becoming a lottery millionaire. I suppose that, given good education in safe sex, your chances would be even more remote. Would you like to tell us how many gay men never get HIV?

I'm not trying to play down what is a clear issue, but you are definitely trying to play it up. Going from your history on the topic of homosexuality, it isn't difficult to work out why.
