no one ever talks about this but me, but here goes again...

HIV is not the only STD out there and it is not the only potentially fatal one. hep C is less treatable and at the moment, more often fatal as well as very communicable and less quickly testable.

and people with low T cell counts may not easily be able to fight off syphilis, chlamydia or other stuff. so even if 2 people are positive and have the same strain, if one has another STD, it can still cause the other partner serious problems.

i'm not trying to be the moral compass of the industry. my world has more questions than answers most of the time. but seriously, why is HIV the only STD that gets this much play?
