No, GfS, another case of you hearing what you want to hear.

MP said that "at risk" groups were more aware of the risks of risky practices. Nobody here disputes that. Unprotected penetrative sex is what spreads HIV. Gay men are probably more aware of that truth than are some other groups. Unprotected penetrative sex is risky for everyone - gay or straight. For some reason that I can't fathom a lot of people - gay or straight - have unprotected penetrative sex.

You wish that MP had said "Gay men are inherently risky", but that is not what she said.

96% of gay men are perfectly safe and healthy.
