From the Times of India:
NEW DELHI: A quarter of a century after AIDS first appeared, the World Health Organisation has for the first time said the threat of a global heterosexual pandemic outside Africa might have passed.
According to Dr Kevin de Cock, one of the world's leading epidemiologists and head of the organisation's HIV/ AIDS department, there has been a shift in the understanding of the risks posed by the virus.
HIV was earlier regarded as a risk to populations everywhere, irrespective of the percentages that practised unsafe sexual behaviour. But experts now believe that outside of sub-Saharan Africa, the disease is largely confined to high-risk groups like men having sex with men, sex workers and their clients.

Dammit. Asshatted.
I shall report to millinery without delay. What say you Philodendron? Something with a broad floppy brim and a feather at a jaunty angle?
In my defence I still got to quote the Time of India as a source. That's gotta be a first.

I was actually shaken that you committed so grievous a forum sin -- quite unlike you frankly.
There's a funnier element to the whole thing to, which I'm sure didn't escape you.

It's 6:30 in morning down here doll. Many and various things escape me. :)

LOL...fear not Matty you have come up with (apart from this thread) more "firsts" than anyone I know... ;)
So tell me, the De-Stig campaign I was just involved with, which by the way was all about "Look beyond the sterotype" was all for nothing then?...~sigh~
