The Office of National Statistics estimate the percentage of homosexuals(male and female), in the UK at 1.5%
This converts to 750,000 in real numbers.....of that figure around 400,000 are MSM, the remainder being female.

PHE(HPA) estimate the number of MSM living with HIV in the UK, as 41000.
This converts to 1 in 10 of the MSM demographic carrying the HIV virus.

This is an epidemic in any ones language, but no matter how you try to avoid the issue, there is a very serious problem of sexual health amongst male homosexuals.

Any one who suggests otherwise is either a fool, or even worse, wilfully lying.
HIV/AIDS, is not just a manageable illness like flu or the common cold, if not diagnosed very quickly, it is almost always terminal and even when diagnosed early it always means a lifetime of heavy medication and who knows what long term damage to internal organs, or brain function. It is an extremely serious condition affecting MSM at rates that, if they pertained to heterosexuals, would cause the National health service and the wider economy to collapse.

Increased testing and contact tracing for the MSM demographic is essential if we are serious about halting the epidemic....there is simply no alternative.
