Default Re: AIM Irresponsible? AIDS Rampant in Calif?

I kinda have to think about where I live and work...
http://www.avert.org/canada-aids.htm

Here is the telling number (for me as a heterosexual male) last year in Canada there were 592 women reported having hiv and 45 having full blown aids. Now, how many of them were high risk crack hos, that I would probably stay away from in the first place...probably a lot.
Aids stats can be spun six ways to Sunday and I have seen it done. I still maintain in the real world, with a modicum of safety and good sense, it is still not a huge issue.

BTW, here is the same site with American stats....
