Subject: RE: BS: Discussion of HIV transmission.
The worm just said that an NHS pen pusher should know that MSM means homosexual.

Well, I know quite a few NHS pen pushers. In fact I help educate a few and give support to many others. I have never been one myself mind, I am a retired businessman, non paid director of a teaching hospitals trust and visiting Prof, as well as some national advisor bits as a hang over from chairing trusts and regulating them, but I think it is safe to assume I can speak for NHS pen pushers when I say

Nothing is taken as understood. Everything has to be tried to be understood in order to help the situation. Nobody is advised to come forward for testing by dint of being homosexual. People who are at risk of HIV are more prevalent in the gay and African demographic, hence the targeted health promotion campaign but the mental leap our resident homophobes delve into is borne of bigotry.

Goofus is his lucid self again. I reckon he has problems nobody here can address..




I wish I was an NHS pen pusher. The pension scheme for a start......
