The 61% of rapes by immigrants ending in AIDS: the article dividing opinion
An article on the Spanish news site eldistrito.es has sparked controversy with a headline claiming that the Government is hiding the fact that more than 61% of rapes committed by immigrants against nationals end in AIDS. However, those who read the body of the text find a very different reality: the article itself acknowledges that no conclusive data exists. The contradiction was quickly pointed out by numerous readers, who call the story a hoax.
A headline that does not hold up
The 61% figure has been the centerpiece of the story, but no official source backs it up. The article mentions that "there is no data", which undermines its main claim. In the comments, several participants point out that this is a manipulation to fuel the discourse against immigration. Others, however, maintain the suspicion that the Government could be hiding health statistics.
The debate on immigration and public health
Beyond the hoax, the discussion drifts toward the healthcare burden of treating immigrants with HIV/AIDS, especially those coming from parts of Africa where the bicho is more widespread. The mass regularization programs since 2018 and the cost of treatments are mentioned. One comment even jokes that "they bring their customs and their AIDS". But the thread gets polluted by a parallel debate about the rise in scabies cases, which a dermatologist links to living in crowded spaces, without mentioning immigration.
The controversy illustrates how a catchy headline can generate an intense debate even when the content contradicts it. The question remains whether there is any real data behind the figure or whether it is just another hoax in the complex relationship between immigration and public health.
