OK....where's any attempt to put up a solution to the epidemic of sexually transmitted disease amongst MSM?
I take it we're all agreed it's transmitted by promiscuity and risk taking then?

So we move on to ways of combatting the transmission.
The agencies reckon that "at risk" groups should be tested more often, and contacts traced when a positive diagnosis is made.
There is really only one "at risk" group. MSM by miles.
The agencies reckon that there is a huge number of MSM who are unaware of their positive status.
How do we get these people to volunteer for testing?
Who wants to find out they have HIV?
How do we make them understand they are risking their lives every time they have sex with a stranger?
How about a little serious input to this issue, forget agendas, abuse, name calling, point scoring.....grow up!

Mr Mcgrath... promiscuity and risk taking takes place in every demographic, to a lesser or greater extent.
The figures prove conclusively that MSM as a demographic are affected to a hugely greater extent.....why is this the case?

Is it something intrinsic to male to male sex?   Is it in the nature of an addiction?
