Safe Sex

THIS WILL COME AS NO SUPRISE TO YOU, AS YOU WALK AROUND ON THE STREET AND LOOK AT MANY OTHER PEOPLE WONDERING WHAT THEY'RE WONDERING; WHICH IS: HOW MANY PEOPLE ON THIS ROAD HAVE H.I.V.?

I KNOW QUITE EXTREME BUT THE REALITY IS THE REAL STATISTICS ARE NOT BEING SHARED WITH THE COMMUNITY. SUPPOSEDLLY THERE ARE OVER 73,000 PEOPLE IN THE U.K LIVING WITH H.I.V. AND A THIRD OF THESE PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY'VE GOT IT.

LETS GET REAL, WE'VE ALL HAD THE EMBARRASSING TEST AND BEEN ASKED WHAT NATIONALITY WERE THE PEOPLE WE SLEPT WITH. OK IF TRUTH BE TOLD PERCENTAGES ARE HIGHER IN OTHER COUNTRIES THAN GREAT BRITAIN, SO IT MAKES SENSE THAT WE ARE ASKED WHICH COUNTRIES THE PEOPLE WE SLEPT WITH ARE FROM, BUT I SAY AGAIN THE STATISTICS ARE NOT CORRECT.

WITH OUR CULTURE OF GET WHAT YOU GET, WHEN YOU'RE GETTING IT. IT MAKES MORE SENSE WITH THE NUMBER OF IMMIGRANTS IN THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE TRAVELLED FROM THOSE COUNTRIES WE ARE ASKED ABOUT AT THE TESTING CLINIC, THAT THE NUMBERS WOULD AT LEAST EXCEED THE 2,000000 MARK.

IF A THIRD OF THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE MENTIONED HAD UNPROTECTED SEX ONCE THAT WOULD TAKE THE TOLL UP TO 105,000 PEOPLE INFECTED, THEN A QUARTER OF THAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE FROM THE UNBEKNOWNST GROUP AGAIN HAS UNPROTECTED SEX THAT COULD TAKE THE TOLL TO 150,000 IN A MONTH OR SO, AND BY THE WAY THE 70,000 WAS RECORDED AT THE END OF 2007.

I'M NOT TRYING TO SCARE YOU, I'M TRYING TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND THE REALITY OF THE SITUATON, NOT A LIE.
