"Being able to talk about it is a huge problem," he says. "At the heart of it is the fear of rejection; it’s the fear of being labeled undesirable."

Yeah, most people don't want an STD and rejection is a consequence - just more irresponsibility over the sake of hurt feelings. It's easier to hide it and spread it around.

I asked a lot of people this question once-If someone says"I am very concerned about HIV and thus I will wear a condom",would you have sex with them?Almost all said yes.
Then I asked,what if someone said"I am going to use a condom since I am HIV positive",would you have sex with them?
Almost all said no to the latter question.
