Dr. Cemetry Made a good point about the statistics, in the manner described, any male contracting AIDS would be presumed to have got it from MSM, while there is no reason to conclude that there was NOT a percent who would get the virus by the same vectors as the rest of the community.

Actually it is a very silly point that no informed person would make.

People involved in high risk behaviour actually getting infected by indulging in much lower risk behaviour will never be significant.<<

Unless their MSM behavior is monogamous, or celebate, or with condoms and they share needles, or they got it from their wives, or blood transfusion.

I don't know who is informing you, but it seems they tend to jump to conclusions based on incomplete data.
