Where did AIDS come from?

Are you sure you're sure? Reported March 2010. Stats are from previous years.

Exactly....it takes a while to compile data......you should know that.

Do you really think the MSM transmission rate would drop from 52% to 5-10% from 2007 to 2009???? :lol:

Perhaps you don't understand %. :laugh2:

adding the 13 non reporting states would not drop the MSM transmission rate from 52% down to 5-10%.....

Yes, dear, I understand percent. Do you understand the percentage is not consistent across all states?

So, like I said, your stats are skewed. It isn't a matter of dropping. Evidently, you don't have a lot of experience in dealing with etiology and incidence rates of disease. And your claim that these stats are from March 2010 was a deliberate misstatement on your part. The stats are not from March 2010.
 
The term men who have sex with men (MSM) refers to all men who have sex with other men, regardless of how they identify themselves (gay, bisexual, or heterosexual). In the United States, HIV and AIDS have had a tremendous impact on MSM. Consider these facts:

AIDS has been diagnosed for more than half a million MSM. Over 300,000 MSM with AIDS have died since the beginning of the epidemic.
MSM made up more than two thirds (68%) of all men living with HIV in 2005, even though only about 5% to 7% of men in the United States reported having sex with other men.
In a 2005 study of 5 large US cities, 46% of African American MSM were HIV-positive.
Since HIV/AIDS in MSM was first diagnosed in 1981, gay and bisexual men have been leaders in dealing with the challenges of the epidemic. Gay organizations and activists, through their work, have contributed greatly to many of the guidelines for prevention, treatment, and the care of people living with HIV/AIDS.

For complex reasons, HIV/AIDS continues to take a high toll on the MSM population. For example, the number of new HIV/AIDS cases among MSM in 2005 was 11% more than the number of cases in 2001. It is unclear whether this increase is due to more testing, which results in more diagnoses, or to an increase in the number of HIV infections. Whatever the reasons, in 2005, MSM still accounted for about 53% of all new HIV/AIDS cases and 71% of cases in male adults and adolescents.

why does it matter? If his information is right, and he shares the citation, why does it matter if he forgets and then corrects it?

Was I talking to you? And, believe me, it matters. Otherwise, you would not be requesting a source for everything I say. Enough if your double standards.
