      Only until they are extinct which shouldn’t be too far off now.

    Well, STI’s are pretty stiff and are a harsh ride.

    You could try a WRX instead…

    Here’s a link to the systematic review referenced in the article, although more about testing than the infection increase.

    While specific populations — including men who have sex with men (MSM)

    I see the mainstream media are doing some… rebranding

      I’m assuming they’re using that term because it’s more accurate/inclusive than “gay”, since it includes bisexual men too

        You are correct, but I believe MHLoppy was just making a joke about how ‘MSM’ is also an abbreviation for ‘Mainstream Media’.

          Oh shit

          A drawing of a stick figure with an arrow over their head labelled "the joke", and an arrow pointing at the figure labelled "me"; as in "the joke went over my head"
