> While there is increased awareness of HIV in general, comprehensive knowledge of HIV remains low, condom use among sexually active young people is declining, and rates of forced sex and teenage pregnancy are ominously high.

- avazhi 3y agoTelling people not to engage in risky behaviour isn't discriminatory or bigoted, bud. Do stupid things, win stupid prizes.

And obviously, the entire world understands now that a disease disproportionally affecting gay people is still very fucking important.
