Akenaton. It is difficult to remain civil, it really is.

Nothing is being hidden. HIV awareness is targeted in certain areas, just as other high risk groups in other clinical specialties are targeted. You ask what will happen when figures can no longer be concealed? Open your eyes and look out of the window, we are there. Figures are not concealed and whilst statistics can be read in many ways, the figures are open to interpretation. For me, I'll stick to the analysis of those charged with protecting public health who study the epidemiology around this. The director of public health from my old authority I chaired went on to lead on STDs at The Dept of Health for a while. When it comes to listening to him or you?

Well for starters, he isn't blinded by his bigotry, doesn't find tenuous figures to support his preposition and speaks of all risks in all groups concerning all STDs.

Your concerns have the advantage of addressing a real concern, albeit one of many. One thing you do say is sadly true; STDs in male Gay people is slightly higher than heterosexual figures for the same socio economic and geographical groups. Luckily, one of the main reasons has been identified. Sadly, the reason is you.

People need to engage with health agencies period. Some people have issues due to society's lack of acceptance of their lifestyle. If you wonder why I hold you in sheer contempt, it is because some people want society to reflect their values only and don't see the rest of society's stakeholders as equal members of said society. Hence they get pushed out, cut adrift and stigmatised by those who think solutions mean me running the risk of breaching Godwin's Law...
