Some parts of Sub Saharan Africa have prevalence rates lower than America's. While others are the epicentres of the AIDS epidemic. Lumping them into one macrogroup does not make statistical sense. This is my point, it is a simple one and beyond this would be us going in circles, I broke the same point down several times.

If you prefer letting the 1 in 100 HIV positive Russians coming to Britain, unscreened, compared to turning away the 0.5% Somalis who actually are HIV positive by screening them, then say so. But cost effective, the policy is not. It's discriminatory plain and simple.
