I guess it's just different opinions. What I'm saying is that when given the opportunity to get rid of fear, we should. Same way I'm not afraid of wildlife attacking me, or cholera.

- bolanyo 4y agoAh, so underlying the 'moral' argument is the uncontrollable FEAR that you, a wealthy but unadventurous person, are somehow subsidizing other less wealthy people as they enjoy their lives.
- majikaja 4y agoNo I am saying young people have gotten the impression that it's completely cured now and can be as reckless as they want which sounds to be incorrect according to the other comments here.
- bolanyo 4y agoDo you visit gay sex clubs? I do, and I would say that it is far from true that people feel they can be as reckless as they want. Rather, they are generally risk-aware, but within a context where the risk tradeoffs are completely different to the AIDS awareness climate of the late 80s and 90s. For example, there is a distinction between low risk activity such as oral sex and higher risk activity such as anal. The latter will often involve a brief discussion of risk: condom use, PrEP, status, so that both participants are on the same page.
