""sexually transmitted disease which affects male homosexuals and indirectly every other one of us.""

Just how does it affect you Ake, directly or otherwise?........unless, Naah! That can't be it

""It is in the interests of homosexuals to see this epidemic ended, but people like Ian are perfectly happy to see the epidemic continue by sticking to the failed procedures of the last ten years.""

You mean those failed procedures which have reduced it to a manageable condition, not causing sigificant loss of life expectancy?

Or those mysterious ""other considerations"" which will persist after a vaccine for HIV has been produced, leaving you free to continue your mean spirited attempts to interfere in other people's lives?
