I'm not sure how you can be an adult gay man and not know that you can get HIV or other diseases from bareback, wether you're a model or not. In fact, I bet most straight people know this as well.
When we were young HIV killed men in a matter of months -- diagnosis meant that you had 18 months or less left to live. Today, HIV positive men and women live to retirement age, although they have to endure debilitating cocktails, terrible side effects, and constant attention to HIV management. Sex ed is awful, so young models probably are not educated about STD's, condom use, or even what the symptoms of STD's are. They did not see the steady stream of hearses going to cemeteries with the decimated bodies of men who had been strong and healthy 2 years prior. They think that HIV is a disease that can be managed, like diabetes, and don't see it like we did. I really don't think you can assume that models have any real education about sex at all. Thank you Abstinence Only Crowd for pushing your morals so far as to deprive young people of the education they need to keep them safe in the real world
