P(HIV+|straight) is still crazy low, so it's a bit of a tempest in a teacup.

  The only people acting like this is a tempest is the folks losing their shit over this headline. If I get scratched or bit by a strange dog, I'm gonna get a rabies shot. Not because it's highly probable that I'll get rabies, but because rabies is really terrible and easily treatable. Have sex with a new partner, get tested. Get stuck by a needle on a bench downtown, get tested. No need to panic.

    I agree with your "strange dog" analogy, but not with the idea that people are losing their shit. I think you might be inferring prejudice where there is none. Yes, getting tested is a good idea. It is also true that the headline is sensationalist.

      I feel pretty confident inferring that folks using the phrase "woke narrative" are displaying prejudice. Feel free to disagree.
