...was listening to the radio (conservative nutjob radio) and heard a statistic something like "1 out of 3 gay males will either be dead or have AIDS by age 30".
Can anyone confirm or disprove anything like that? I checked out stats at www.aids.gov ,and while the numbers certainly suggest something like that (if you could estimate the total number of gays) I havent seen anything concrete.
If this is the case though, why isnt that a more publicized statistic? That is WAY WAY worse than the percentage of smokers that die of cancer. Should it be treated as that much of a health risk and should steps be taken to stop these unneeded deaths?
