Someone told me 60% of homosexuals in san francisco are hiv or aids positive, this seems really high, is it?

In San Francisco, there are 7,698 people living with AIDS and an additional 28,000 are infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS).

I seriously doubt that these numbers represent 60% of the homosexuals in San Francisco.

Yes, it is really high (and the person who told you this may have been as well).

LMAO @ James...I was thinking the same thing.

And what did they base this remark on? Their own stupid observations?

No way! That's 6 out of every ten people.
