""How many people do you think know that HIV/aids has reached epidemic levels in the UK?""

That has to be the biggest stretch yet!

If every male homosexual in the country were HIV positive (which would statistically mean possibly half developing full blown AIDS) it wouldn't qualify as an epidemic. There simply aren't enough cases in a 65 million population to warrant that definition, unless of course there is massive infection in the heterosexual majority.

The worst you can say with any credibility is that HIV is endemic, but that wouldn't suit Ake's agenda because it would also be true of almost every country in the world, and overall, as one might expect, a fifty fifty split Homo to Hetero.

That is definitely NOT what Ake wants to hear.

I'm afraid he was born 7 decades too late and in the wrong country.
