I understand that it's harder to get HIV vs the other diseases we were talking about in the other thread and you're ignoring the overall concept.

A small percentage of people infecting others because of choices that they make which can result in deaths to the general population.

At what point can the general population step in and say we need to start protecting ourselves?
Which one is greater? The amount of people that die each year from Aids or from those that aren't vaccinated?


When did the Netherlands legalize SSM? April 1 2001?
use this chart and see how much the Death Rates have increased, the Prevalence rate has increased and the overall number of infected people has almost doubled since it's become legalized all due to HIV/Aids.

Would you please tell me again how legalizing SSM it will slow down the spread of HIV/Aids?

Can you read my post again and see where I said it will likely not be a change? I know, we had a lengthy discussion so far about how I made the flippant remark with that second line and then said that there would likely not be a change and how that confused some people. You weren't a part of that so I just need to bring you into the fold on that. As to your chart, you should switch it over to the prevalence numbers, showing the percentage of the population infected. That rate actually has been steady since SSM in the Netherlands, meaning that SSM has no realized impact on the prevalence rate of infection and the increase in numbers is likely a result in population increase since the rate has remained steady at 0.2% since 2001. Showing that my assertion there would likely not be a change in the rate of infection is accurate.

As for the part in bold. I'm not missing the overall concept. You are missing some things.

1. There is no evidence to suggest legalizing SSM will increase the prevalence of HIV infections.
2. There is a false equivalency between a disease requiring active transmission vs. passive transmission in regards to how it is viewed for public health purposes.
3. You have yet to provide anything that could actually be done that would be the equivalent of requiring a vaccine for HIV. I'm genuinely curious as to what you think should be done since the whole SSM thing is a erroneous.
