| The bizarre happy gay photos on the CDC site... |

| this is closer to the truth. |
As I have learned, the CDC web-site is extremely difficult to navigate and search. Yet, once you get past the weird photos of smiling gay couples, the truth is just waiting to be discovered. One particularly amazing report: “HIV Risk, Prevention, and Testing Behaviors Among Men Who Have Sex With Men — National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System, 21 U.S. Cities, United States, 2008,” reveals much about the destructive behavior which still obsesses many gay men; even in Post-AIDS era. For instance: nearly 50% of gay men admitted to having recent unprotected anal sex with a casual partner; and, in some select metropolitan areas (Atlanta, Dallas, San Diego, and Seattle,) those percentages were over 50%. Among those, over 40% did not know the HIV statues of their partner. Lastly, over 50% met their most recent sex partner in a gay bathhouse or sex club.
