Sure they are; if homosexuals weren't, they wouldn't be considered an "at risk" lifestyle by the CDC.
Then, by that standard, they are failing to screen some very questionable people who will be donating blood . . . . at least by their standard.
Aids/HIV affects everybody.
t MSM account for nearly half of the approximately 1.2 million people living with HIV in the United States (49%, or an
estimated 580,000 total persons).
t MSM account for more than half of all new HIV infections in the United States each year (61%, or an estimated 29,300
infections).
t While CDC estimates that only 4 percent of men in the United States are MSM, the rate of new HIV diagnoses among
MSM in the United States is more than 44 times that of other men (range: 522 – 989 per 100,000 MSM vs. 12 per
100,000 other men).

I find these statistics hard to follow on the basis that USA has a higher rate of people newly infected by HIV yearly compared to the whole of western europe, something which I have proven before. I can go and find the relevant post if you wish; but quite frankly I can't be bothered.
So taking into account western europe's bigger population and as a result bigger homosexual population, your theory is discredited.
Oh and rTb: if homosexuals were "knowledgable about their health", HIV/AIDS and the many diseases that go with their lifestyle wouldn't be an issue would it?
Of course it would be, because heterosexuals aren't good at it and would spread it around in their ignorance. Further you cannot stamp out things such as STD's and the like, it is to hard to control. However what you can do is educate yourself and make sure you are clean, further more young heterosexual men are being treated for STD's more then anyone else.
You didn't spend every minute of every day with your homosexual friends, so you can't attest to what a small portion of the homosexual population did when you weren't watching them, let alone the entire homosexual population.
No and I wouldn't want to do, however my point was that as far I know they got tested twice yearly where as I have only been tested 3 times and I wager that is more then most. It isn't because they are at increased risk, it is because we think we are invulnerable.
As far as heterosexual promiscuity: Duh. They too are "doing their own thing", and you'll find that they have no problem with homosexuals "doing their own thing" as well (those people are called "allies" to the homosexual so-called community: Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Queer Questioning and ALLIES).
So whats is your problem then, people aren't even aloud to do what comes most naturally? One of are most base instincts? You really are a prude aren't you!
I've seen the promicuous lifestyle firsthand, I've read the data, I've seen their "culture" (public restroom gloryholes are considered part of the "gay culture"), there's no questioning that homosexual males are more promiscuous than others.
Why were you paying so much attention one has to ask? Further that man stood at the glory whole probably had a girlfriend and had never thought about a man in that way in his life!
