Latest HIV infection figures – which show that Britain now has almost twice as many new HIV cases diagnosed in a year as any other west European country – have revealed the full extent of Sub-Saharan immigration to this country.

There were 7,734 new cases of the virus recorded in 2007, nearly double the figure reported at the turn of the millennium, according to Unicef. The worst-affected groups were homosexual men and immigrants from Sub-Saharan Africa, Unicef said.

According to the study, unprotected sex between homosexuals accounted for 40 percent of newly diagnosed cases of HIV. This means that 60 percent of all new HIV cases in Britain are from Sub-Saharan African immigrants.

Unicef UK deputy executive director Anita Tiessen said Britain was “at a higher risk because of its ’sizeable’ immigrant population from Sub-Saharan Africa – which has more than two-thirds of all global cases.”

Britain now has a record number of 77,000 people with HIV. More than a quarter are unaware they are carrying the virus, which can lead to AIDS.

The second highest figure for new infections was in France, with 4,075. Germany, which has 10 million more people than Britain, was third with 2,752 new cases, Unicef said.

In 2007 young people aged between 16 and 24 accounted for about half of all the 400,000 new cases of sexually transmitted diseases in Britain. One in ten of new HIV diagnoses was among young people.

More than four in ten of the 7,734 new HIV infections were acquired through sex between men – and this proportion is continuing to rise.

There is a special organisation – Government (i.e. taxpayer) funded of course – specially devoted to providing “support” to Africans who brought their HIV infections with them to Britain. Cashing in on a cool £1.2 million a year in taxpayer handouts, the “African HIV Policy Network” describes itself as an “alliance of African community-based organisations and their supporters working for fair policies for people living with HIV/AIDS in the UK, providing training, support, research and information.”

* The increase in HIV rates also parallels the growth in tuberculosis rates in Britain, which the Health Protection Agency specifically linked to immigration from the Third World. According to an HPA report issued in May 2008, research showed that the increase in TB cases “reflects the increasing number of patients with TB who are not born in the UK. Further research showed an increase in the number of cases in people from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian subcontinent, which scientists say could be related.”

  1. Is it just me or is the British passport going through Inflation?
    I just get the feeling it’s not worth as much as it used to…
    Multicultural is a nice word but when you support all the values of all the people, then you basically can’t sustain your own which is just as bad as saying you have no values what so ever.
