    Maybe we wouldn’t have to have so much testing if bigots hadn’t pushed so hard to spread HIV around vulnerable people.

      I feel like I’m out of the loop here, could you explain?

            It was not (at least not entirely). It was mostly general frustration at the demonisation of lgbt folks and contraception in the past, mostly due to Catholocism. If there wasn’t as much of that, then I think HIV probably wouldn’t be as much of a “thing” as it is nowadays.

              Ohh fair, I hadn’t considered that link. I guess that’s one of the many factors that helped it spread. I’m glad things like PREP are an option nowadays
