    That’s not the point of the joke.

      I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. You’re 100% right.

      For people who don’t get it, the point of the joke is that this statistic does not mean anything. The overall number of people getting AIDS might be increasing, just like the number of car drivers. Whether it’s choice or not is irrelevant.

        Because it’s easier to downvote than to think about it. Our brains are lazy.
