Gay in the UK: 1 in 20 HIV+?

Troubling statistics? Or good news that people with HIV are living longer?

Recently released data showed that 3,000 gay men in the U.K. were diagnosed with HIV last year, and that 1 in 11 gay men in London have the virus. 

Nationwide, 1 in 20 gay men are infected with the virus.

And this seems like a good time to remind readers that World AIDS Day is tomorrow and that there will be a candelight vigil tomorrow on the west steps of the State Capitol in recognition.
