Now there is this false perception that the meds make you whole again as long as you take them. People don't talk about the wasting, that it's easier to get sick in other ways and other gross stuff. The younger generation coming of age in the last 5 or so years have only heard about AIDS. They don't know anybody that has died from it. They haven't seen the suffering. They think that you can tell if someone has HIV. Or they assume that their partners are clean and they can trust them.

So what's going to happen is it's going to start up again. The gay community finally wasn't the largest group with new HIV/AIDS infections but the younger generation is going to start change that, IMHO.

Then there is just plain ignorance. What Robbie doesn't realize is that CM is actually in a higher risk group than most. She has sex with a lot of black men on camera. Homosexuality is less accepted in the black community (practically shunned) which is where the term "down low" came from and why black women are now the #1 group getting infected with HIV/AIDS.

So rather than being a caring husband/business partner/producer/whatever, he puts her out there without considering the consequences. The reality is that she has just as much of a chance acquiring HIV as I do if I were to go to a bathhouse tonight and fuck random guys.

Even DWB admits he doesn't like condoms but he acknowledges the risks present today. It's one thing to make an informed decision such as DWB does (and I have been guilty of myself). Robbie just keeps pretending it's all overrated. Maybe you just need to see HIV/AIDS first hand to really understand it.
