Data released last week found that 62 percent of American men who self-reported being HIV-positive said they had unprotected anal sex with a male partner in the last 12 months.
The Centers for Disease Control report, “HIV Testing and Risk Behaviors Among Gay, Bisexual and Other Men who have Sex with Men,” noted that the population of men having sex with men (MSM) is a small proportion of the US population; however, this group represents the majority of people diagnosed with HIV.
The researchers found that some men attempt to decrease their HIV risk by only engaging in unprotected sex with those “perceived” as having HIV or not. However, this practice is risky because some may not disclose or may not know they are infected with the virus.
Unprotected anal sex among MSM increased from 2005 to 2011, and in 2011 one-third of HIV-positive MSM who did not know if they were infected reported unprotected sex with a partner who said they were HIV-negative or did not know either.

Why would a man with HIV use a rubber. They already have it , and they could not care less about their latest raid on the rectum of the other fellow.
>> men who have anal sex with a male partner
I suppose this is the behavior the govt is working hard to support and promote.
Especially since it’s more than likely someone they don’t know and will never see again.
Just posted on a post about gay men destroying the blood supply, & now this! :p
This link says they have unprotected sex 57% of the time. Oh, yes, perfect blood donors - for other gay men.
