Thread Name: BS: Discussion of HIV transmission.
Subject: RE: BS: Discussion of HIV transmission.
Keith, the site that you gave plus figures given by Ake, show that the figures do not support do not support his two arguments that Same-sex marriage causes AIDS and that all Gays should be forcibly tested in order to fight AIDS.


"70% of ALL new cases of HIV and Syphilis ......Is there anyone out there who honestly thinks that this is not an epidemic amongst MSM?" -Ake, You have told me there are 350,000 MSMs in the UK, The report Keith link to says there were 6300 new cases of HIV that year,

Do the math and you get one HIV infection per 79 gay men in the UK that year.

Obviously if some significant percentage were to get married and be faithful. they would be less likely to be infected. Obviously your country can't violate the rights of 350,000 every year to keep 4400 from getting sick.

Musket, SC, You have made your overall point and have made some good points along the way. But as you put it about the other disease, you may as well be arguing about tea cozys as about statistics being misinterpreted to support flawed conclusions.
