Mr Edward Mulindwa,
Regarding your rather flippant statements on Mr Ford and his current situation, I am afraid you are very misinformed about how lifestyle affects an individual's health and prognosis. As a homosexual, drug addict, and alcoholic, Mr Ford is at greater risk of death than 99.9% of men his age. This situation is worsened by the fact that, at a whopping 200 kgs, the man is morbidly obese and faces a daily risk of almost all the major organs in his body failing. As a homosexual, he is also at great risk of contracting Anal Cancer and other opportunistic or secondary diseases. Please read the report linked here and the Executive Summarythat follows it. It shows that homosexuals and injecting drug users like Mr Ford are clearly the biggest group of people at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS.
Population-Specific HIV/AIDS Status Report - CATIE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
An estimated 71,300 people were living with HIV/AIDS in
Canada at the end of 2011. Although anyone can contract
HIV, certain populations are particularly vulnerable to HIV
infection, or are disproportionately represented among
people living with HIV/AIDS (PHA); these include gay and
other men who have sex with men, people who use
injection drugs, people from countries where HIV is
endemic, Aboriginal Peoples, people in prisons, youth
at risk and women.
The burden of HIV in Canada is shifting. When HIV reporting
began in 1985, the men who have sex with men (MSM)
exposure category accounted for over 80% of all cases.
Between 2000 and 2011, the MSM exposure category
accounted for 42.1% of new positive HIV test reports among
adults, followed by the heterosexual contact (30.8%) and
injection drug use (20.7%) exposure categories. Between
1985 and 1999, women accounted for only 13% of new
positive HIV test reports; in 2011 they accounted for 26%. At
the end of 2011, people who were born in a country where
HIV is endemic made up approximately 2.2% of the overall
population, but accounted for an estimated 14.9% of
prevalent infections. Aboriginal people made up
approximately 3.8% of the overall population, but
accounted for an estimated 8.9% of prevalent infections.
