Yeah, that doesn't surprise me all that much. For PIV sex, there is a huge incentive to use condoms: as birth control. Even with people using birth control, condoms are still pretty common.
But, in the gay community many people don't use condoms. As stated in the other article, only 1/6 gay men regularly use condoms. Hence, the higher numbers despite condoms reducing infection rate by 70% for anal sex, compared to the ~80-85% reduction in PIV sex.
Also, slight nitpick. Gay/bi/MSM make up 2% of the general population, but I'd be willing to bet that they make up a much larger percent of 13-24 year olds.
Could you explain?
Younger americans are more likely to identify as gay or bisexual, one assumes for cultural reasons.
Numbers at gallop poll link were:
Presumably some of the barriers to entry have been lowered for this demographic.
Or Greg Cochran is onto something.
I doubt it.
