Lol I’m a troll account but ok. Part blame medicine. They don’t tell patients about that risk at all. Also you’d be surprised the hedonistic part is realistically only 15-20% of the alphabet people but because anal transmits so easily = high std’s within 20% subgroup.

Hard to police other people? But again, medicine just push drugs and don’t raise awareness. Outside US generic prep only costs $20~ a month (real cost) which is a lot cheaper than hiv treatment (thousands).

guys, i can’t believe i have to hop in here and clarify (or, wtf am i talking about of course i can, it’s twitter) but the problem isn’t gay sex. the problem is over a long enough time horizon antibiotics always fail, and if we stop producing new antibiotics we’re fucked.
