2b. already having a higher HIV infection rate.
2c. already tangling with syphilis, gonorrhea etc.
2d. having a larger incidence of compromised immune systems.
2d. poorer general health.
3. Might this not be an ideal time for persons already contemplating abandoning the LGBTQ lifestyle to set it aside and plunge headlong into an almost obsessive holistic pursuit of optimal health?
