Doesn't surprise me. To be blunt, we have too many whores in the gay community that think a 5 minute nut is worth risking your life. If I had $1 for every stranger that offered my unprotected sex, I could BUY a small Island. We HAVE to educate ourselves, here are some of the STUPIDEST myths I've heard about contracting this disease:
-You can't get it your first time having sex. Uhh, yes you can.
-Bareback sex is safe for the top. Uhh, no it isn't.
-Everybody living with AIDS is a drug addict or whore. NOPE. There are shelters FULL Of men/women who contracted the disease from someone they trusted and were married to for years.
