>New figures this week also show the number of new HIV diagnoses among straight people is higher than in gay and bisexual men for the first time in a decade.
I really don’t like this use of stats! It’s the same mistake as the whole *”More vaccinated people in hospital with covid than unvaccinated”* again.
~93% of men are heterosexual.
So it’s saying ~7% of gay/bisexual men, make up 50% of positive HIV diagnoses? Or, a gay/bisexual man is 1300% more likely to spread/catch HIV?
Also… is it comparing heterosexual **People** to gay and bisexual **men**? Surely not? I’ll assume it’s comparing the number of men, to men for now.
Thought this shit had abandoned the uk for America, best keep his views to himself.
