AKE SAYS:- ""In the developed countries, hiv/ aids has become mainly a disease of one "at risk" group,   MSM.

All other demographics have very low rates of infection and these rates are falling, while infection rates in MSM are very high and rising steadily.....this is not homophobia, but incontravertible fact.""

HPA SAYS:- "" -snip- In more recent years, men who have sex with men (MSM) remain the major risk group, while heterosexually acquired infections, particularly among African-born individuals, have also become of increasing public health importance.-snip- ""

AND:- "" -snip- Thirty years on, where antiretroviral therapy is widely available, it has transformed HIV infection from a fatal illness to a chronic manageable condition. Today, people treated for HIV infection can expect a near-normal lifespan with far fewer side effects compared to the earlier drug regimes.-snip-""

ALSO:- "" -snip- The surveillance of HIV in the UK has adapted to major changes in the clinical management and epidemiological features of the infection.

The data have been the driving force behind policies to prevent and control HIV infections and ensure those living with the virus are tested promptly and receive high quality health care. -snip-""

So Ake isn't interested in facts. He isn't interested in medical advances. He isn't interested in the Health Protection Agency's publication of the current situation, and he isn't interested in the well being of Homosexual Men.

He deplores their existence and wishes that they could be, if not converted, eradicated.

I used, in my previous post, the phrase "Sex Nazi", because Ake's attitude to Homosexual men is very closely akin to that of the Third Reich.

He plays the "Concerns about their health" card time and again, but won't answer questions about whether he opposes marriage for gay women.

That is because the answer would show up his bias against all gays, and not for the reasons he would have us believe.
