From a 2016 article about a new study of HIV rates among MSM's (men who have sex with men):

According to the new study authors’ calculations, out of an estimated 4.45 million MSM in the United States, 666,900, or 15 percent, are estimated to be HIV positive. In 2013, an estimated 0.7 percent of the MSM population was diagnosed with the virus.
MSM living in the South are especially hard hit by HIV. Of the 25 MSAs with the highest rates of diagnosed HIV among MSM, all but four were in the South. The top six each had HIV-diagnosed prevalence rates higher than 25 percent among MSM: Jackson, Mississippi (1,201 MSM, or 39.39 percent); Columbia, South Carolina (1,619, or 29.65 percent); El Paso, Texas (1,131, or 28.53 percent); Augusta–Richmond County, which is in both Georgia and South Carolina (691, or 26.56 percent); and Baton Rouge, Louisiana (1,087, or 25.4 percent).
Out of these top 25 MSAs, only five had more than 3,100 MSM living with diagnosed HIV, including: Miami–Fort Lauderdale–West Palm Beach, Florida (21,482 MSM, or 17.52 percent); Atlanta–Sandy Springs–Roswell, Georgia (12,532, or 16.43 percent); New York City–Newark–Jersey City, which includes portions of New York State, New Jersey and Pennsylvania (46,869 HIV-diagnosed MSM, for a rate of 14.61 percent, the first non-Southern MSA on the prevalence rate list, at 17th place); Washington–Arlington–Alexandria, in the District of Columbia, Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia (12,606, or 13.43 percent); and Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim, California (34,919, or 12.92 percent).

Any teen seduced by an older gay man, (particularly in the south) has worse odds than playing Russian Roulette.
