No i'm saying the more partners you have the more chance there
is of spreading HIV. It doesn't matter what your ual
preferance or belief is. It's all mathematics, and
increases the *chance*, and the risk as well. In that regards
GAY marriage makes sense, but Polygamy don't. Cause it's one
partner for life, and not multiple partners involved.

Remember HIV can remain undetected or dormant for 10 years or
more. A man who marries for the first time at age 20, and
then marries seven more by the time he is 35, has an increased
chance of not only having HIV, but spreading it to all
his other wives, and even children as well. And it's a curve
it's not a sliding scale.

You probably shouldn't quote Einstein, your math sucks.

?? This doesn't make much sense. You're saying that people are not having
more "partners" outside of polygamous relationships?

But if it is multiple uninfected partners for life, how are they
spreading HIV?

Testing can be a wonderous thing.

But my common sense seems superior to yours.
