Don, I am a past chairman of a health provider with four hospitals and presently been brought in to sort out the structures required for the future for a health economy of over a million UK citizens, just over a billion pounds of public money and 14,000 staff.

I mention that just as context to refute his claims and hope that when you say "sounds like you have issues in the UK," you might be aware that we have very good figures for people being checked out and the take up rate by gay men is one of the highest in the world. I spent a few years inspecting hospitals and clinics up till this year, and have spent plenty of time assessing the quality of GU clinics.

Akenhateon is not describing The UK situation. Our high take up of people coming forward allows nasty people to use figures to describe a situation different to reality.

It helps his agenda, but is far from the truth. We have ms ny issues with obesity, smoking and sexually transmitted disease, especially clamydia in younger women, and yes, as the population increase and health promotion gets the message out, more people come forward, the HIV numbers go up. That is a success story of dealing with the issue. Also, audit data from accident and emergency (ER) and colo rectal services nationally indicates far more women than men having infection (and surgical) issues with anal sex. (What that bastard calls the homosexual act.)

He calls gay lifestyle a perversion. Sorry, his type make me feel ill.
