@sun @georgia 
Aren't those studies about groups affected by HIV and not the transmissibility? Because if is the former that's false equivalence

@kumicota @georgia there are two separate issues. Piv sex can spread aids. But anal sex it’s much much much more transmissible. So it goes through those populations more. Not just gay men. But men who have been in jail and opportunistically have sex with other men but are not gay

@sun @kumicota you said youve studied AIDS dissemination routes, where did you get "in Africa they have rough sex?"

@sun @kumicota @georgia this is why Health People call them “men who have sex with men (MSM)” in The Literature, because being gay is a lot closer to an ethnic identity one can opt into, whereas having sexual contact with men is a yes/no question based in physical reality. this is probably a tangent but whatever

edit: and the point is, having had sexual contact with men does not mean you consider yourself gay, “act” gay, or anything else

@sun @georgia I agree, tbh I should have elaborated it better. I was trying to say that those studies tend to focus on groups that carries the virus instead of the transmissibility which is kinda a problem. 

Transmissibility wise they aren't that difference but one groups has way more people with it than the other, which makes a lot of people to think that only gay people has HIV which leads to people to do unprotected sex with unkown people
