I don't know how old you are, I'm 35 and remember watching people slowly die off at a friends house who rented a discounted room to terminal AIDS patience. I also remember all the safe sex ads that used to be on TV. I've been out of the states for 5 years now (soon to come back) so I can't speak about how it is there, but here in Australia I've yet to see one safe sex ad. There are commercials every hour for a vaginal thrush treatment, and another for a herpes treatment that states 1 in 7 Australians has herpes. Seems backwards seeing ads for treatment and none for prevention.

If you are correct and the reason HIV rates continue at current levels because the new generation hasn't been exposed to what we have, and they use meth, then bareback films simply mirror reality right?
