Trying to eradicate an epidemic in a section of society is not "stigmatisation" Ian.

I repeat, there is little discrimination or stigma towards homosexuals today compared with twenty years ago, yet infection rates are rocketing....up 21% in one year in London....from an already very high percentage.
This IS an epidemic and homosexuals are not listening to the half hearted "education and advice" handed out by the agencies.

The latest wheez thought up to accomodate the "equality agenda" was to compulsorily test all residents in given areas, but targetting areas where "at risk" groups may be situated.

There is only one REAL "at risk" group....male homosexuals, even amongst hetero IDU's, rates of hiv infection are falling.

While health professionals continue to bury their heads in the sand and attempt to find spurious reasons for the rising epidemic, there is no hope of beating it.
