Yes, antiretroviral treatment and drugs have been a reality for almost 20 years now. They not only significantly prolong the life expectancy of those with HIV to the point that HIV positive people are now expected to live as long as HIV negative people, but they also keep the virus levels so low they significantly reduce the chances of transmitting the virus to other people.

Obviously, a lot of work still needs to be done to educate people on HIV.

right... i mean i'm not a math genius or anything but i think the point he was making was that since, even if they haven't eradicated homophobia in whatever country, if the homophobia is the cause of the mental illnesses then you should see the stats on mental illness fluctuate with the amount of homophobia. and he was saying that the stats stay pretty much constant regardless of the country. meaning all countries have the same amount of homophobia, if homophobia is the cause
i dunno if any of that is true, just demonstrating the logic for you

Well, I guess I could go and try to check up on his "facts", but considering that his premise is that homosexuals are mentally ill, I don't think I'll bother.

those stats wouldn't add up because serial killers represent a much smaller portion of the population than heterosexual white males... thus making your conclusion mathematically impossible.

Not mathematically, but logically, same as every single conclusion he made in the video...
