I'll Take Awkward for a Thousand

The guy on the right looks really into this safer sex for seniors seminar, but the woman next to him ain't buying it ... (NYT)

From the linked article:
Those assembled were told that their demographic was showing increases in sexual activity and an accompanying rise in promiscuity, homosexuality and H.I.V. infection.

Why is homosexuality lumped in with the other two items? I'm just saying...

Good point. Do you remember when the three risk groups for HIV used to be:

1. Intravenous drug users
2. Homosexuals and
3. Haitians (!!!)
How f**ked up was that?

But you know, I guess as far as this article on seniors goes the fact of the matter is any of those three mentioned things put one more at risk for HIV, so perhaps it is relevant.

I remember a joke back in the 80's that if you had HIV, that the hardest part about telling your parents was explaining your were Haitian.
