Apparently 72% of WGs in Johannesburg are HIV positive. How scary is that?

Did you know that 89% of statistics are made up on the spot?

@Guypunter
If this is true why don't you go punting in PTA? Maybe the HIV rate is lower there? Or go and have a lekker Zuma shower after a JHB punt?

@Article on News24.

Stats were taken from street workers.

Correct. Not sure why they always do these studies and only focus on a particular segment of the industry where risky practices and abuse are prevalent. Feel sorry for the guys who are trying to save a buck and go after streetworkers.

But, we also shouldn't be naive, the infection rate may be a lot lower amongst non-street workers (my assumption), but it is probably higher than what we think. I don't know, I wish these studies could be done on a more realistic basis.

So, should a WG declare her HIV status on her profile?

@Minime007, that would be a serious invasion of privacy.
