Gays Debate Radical Steps to Curb Unsafe Sex

"After all the thousands of AIDS deaths and all the years of "Safe Sex Is Hot Sex" prevention messages, it has come down to this: many gay men who know the rules of engagement in the age of AIDS are not using condoms. As news of a potentially virulent strain of H.I.V. settles in, gay activists and AIDS prevention workers say they are dismayed and angry that the 25-year-old battle against the disease might have to begin all over again."

Years and years of 'education' has not stopped the unsafe sex going on in the gay community (not to mention the general public). Even AIDS isn't enough to make them think twice. I have been reading the book, "Every Man's Battle", about the struggle men have with sexual temptation, and how when left unchecked the desire to sin can overpower anyone's conscience or even common sense. This is exactly what is happening here.

Here's an interesting quote from it - "the fact that activists are even thinking about curbing gay sexual freedom is a huge shift."
