British HIV-AIDS rates soaring

The Scotsman reports that rates of HIV-AIDS infection are soaring in England, most of those being in and around London. The causes?

The majority of new cases diagnosed in the UK are the result of people migrating from countries with the biggest HIV problem, especially Africa.

Something else to consider in the immigration debate.

GFA adds: On a related note, Mexican migrant workers here in the US have an HIV rate "three times as high as the rate in the general U.S. and Mexican populations." More info here.
