Quote:Although MSM represent about 4% of the male population in the United States4, in 2010, MSM accounted for 78% of new HIV infections among males and 63% of all new infections2. MSM accounted for 52% of all people living with HIV infection in 2009, the most recent year these data are available1.2% of the population, 52% of the HIV.

I mean, even if it were true that homosexual males were ten times more likely to be HIV positive, why not test him and find out? It's not like we have a surplus of used organs sitting around.
