That doesn't address the fact that whether or not gay men are more careful (which some probably are) the rates of HIV remain high in the gay community, much higher than the general population. Moreover, recent studies have suggested that HIV infection rates are resurgent in recent years amongst young gay men, rather than becoming less frequent.
I almost feel that this attention given to the blood ban is akin to burying our heads in the sand, rather than admitting that the AIDS epidemic is alive and well in the gay community.
