There is a worrying trend of older people testing positive for HIV (and other conditions through STD cause) and whilst increasing testing availability will help, it helps more with younger people as the evidence demonstrates that through sex education in schools and other initiatives, younger people are quicker to come forward and less prone to taking risks. The high percentages of younger people have to be taken in with the statistically low numbers overall, plus primary care test figures don't, in England at any rate, enter into the figures till next month.

An interesting comparison being motorbike injuries. More older people who think they are too old and wise to ever crash.

So why Akenaton insists on saying young MSM is the only rising demographic when it isn't could baffle people. Unless you take into account the way in which evil people lie in order to spread their homophobic hatred.

It really is fascinating actually having such a beast on these threads. Sickening but fascinating.



Goofus. Stop saying that people don't care when they possibly do. And possibly spend a lot of their professional time caring. I spend time in GU clinics, looking for ways of improving how the staff are supported to make the services better and more responsive. Take it from me, they care. They care a lot.

Even the pox doctors' clerk.
