Condoms, which can substantially reduce transmission, are not widely available nor is their use strongly promoted, and they are still used infrequently in high-risk sexual encounters

Funny, I can go to any drugstore or grocery store and purchase a pack of condoms. I find the remark made to be untrue. Years ago one would have to ask the pharmacist, but today anybody can go to the aisle and outright purchase them. Plus, if one goes to those new fangle grocery stores with the self checkout lanes you never even have to face a live person. Note: All our grocery stores now have at least 4 of these lanes.

Where does respect for your partner and personal responsibility come into account in this article.

It doesn't, except for the push for voluntary testing, condom usage, clean needle exchanges and the barely mentioned hope for guilty consciences. This is a public health initiative for consumption by the MSM. Did you hear the news today?
