Anyone who's tried hooking up on Manhunt or Craigslist in the last decade, has encountered a mystery: How can so many young people bareback without contracting HIV? Thanks to a new report, we now know the answer: they can't! They get AIDS just like everyone else!
While new HIV cases are on the decline for older men, the New York City
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is reporting as much as a 34%
rise in new cases among men under 30 who have sex with men. New York
has the highest rate of AIDS cases in the nation, and despite handing
out NYC-branded condoms and trolling Craigslist and bars to encourage
testing, haven't been able to reverse the trend.
Maybe it's not entirely news that you shouldn't trust a stranger who
tells you to trust them, but after nearly eight-years of abstinence-only sex ed, should we be surprised that no one told MySpace about
AIDS? Unless Tila Tequila starts educating tweens on the connections between syphilis, crystal and HIV, there's gonna be a generation that won't be thanking anyone for the add.
