I grant, there are plenty of other STIs, but with the 800-lb Gorilla STI out of the way... In the words of George Carlin: Someday they WILL cure AIDS, and man, if you can't get laid that day, just give it up.
It is *safe* in a way

But if resistance developes and a new strain forms, what you would have been *safely* doing all the while would be colletively *dangerous* in the long run.

How do I put it into words, I hope it turns out right
