For gawds sake Dave get a grip.

We are talking about infection RATES, which are higher amongst male homosexuals than in any other demographic anywhere!

This is the problem with this forum, I've had to repeat the point about percentages, over and over again.....I don't know if some people are just being obstructive, or that they just don't understand statistics.

Why get involved if you don't understand the rudiments of the debate?

It wouldn't matter if there were more heteros than homos with hiv
the population numbers are so different....what counts is the percentage rates of infection.

If say, 1 in 10 heteros became infected the numbers would be in many millions, the actual number is under 3000.
In some cities it is estimated that 1 in 5 homos are infected....EPIDEMIC!
