Didn't vote but they looked at men and women - hence if it found lesbians with some sort of accuracy your HIV treatment hypothesis doesn't work - I'm pretty sure lesbians get HIV at a much lower rate than gay men or drug addicts. It also seems your hypothesis presumes the vast majority of gay men have HIV infections. I didn't bother looking it up, but both those assumptions seem pretty faulty from memory.

Yes lesbians are at a reduced risk to being infected with HIV than heterosexual women.
It is not my hypothesis that weight differences is the signal being detected, it is the GPs. I was just pointing out that facial fat may not correlate with weight in the different populations studied.
