CDC infection rates estimate.

The CDC estimates that half the gay population is infected with hiv. The question is how do they know they are if they have not tested?

I was unable to find a CDC estimate of half the gay population having hiv. Perhaps you could post a url for the site you found. The CDC study I could locate, estimated 7.5% (+/- up to 4.8) of young gay men had hiv (in the 7 cities that were used for the study).

If you are interested in the methods used to arrive at this estimate, there is a short abstract at http://www.thebody.com/cdc/msm_cities.html.
