 *You* are the one who ignored bisexuals and attributed all
the cases to homosexuals.  I mentioned a few other ones as well,
and the CDC includes all of them - that's why they changed the
term to "male-to-male sexual contact".

No, I think you lie - you made up that 70 percent thing and the
CDC data simply is not consistent with it - the actual numbers
are lower.

Why do you lie so much?
