Quote: the G-man said: However, engaging in gay sex is, technically, a behavior.
Quote: Matter-eater Man said: True. I just meant that they should be screening out any high risk people. The straight guy who picks up prostitutes isn't lower risk than the gay guy who uses safe sex & isn't promiscous, is he?
Without seeing statistics on the percentage of straight guys who pick up postititues and get AIDS vs the percentage of gay men who use safe sex & aren't promiscous who get AIDS, I really cannot say.
Ultimately, it seems to me that we should be looking at those types of factors and less at assumptions by either side.
