Subject: RE: BS: 'Gay marriage' question
Don, I did know that HIV can now be controlled with drugs, and near normal life expectancy achieved.
You post as if I had suggested otherwise.

I posted some statistics on the very much higher risk of acquiring STIs for MSMs.
I hope you are not challenging any of them Don.

What you may not know is that control of HIV is only possible with an early diagnosis from a blood test.
AIDS is still a sentence to a lingering death if you wait for symptoms to appear.
There is good evidence of large scale undiagnosed HIV within the MSM community.
