He was saying that it is in your personal best interest to convince people more sexually conservative than you to start having more sex, which reduces your individual risk.
This really doesn't sound logical to me unless the goal is to specifically talk some conservative individual into being your long-term sex partner, thus securing a source of sex with a low risk of a) bringing an infection into the equation to start with and b) exposing you at a later date due to promiscuous behavior after they start sleeping with you. Of course, that assumes you also "behave" once you have such a situation or all bets are off. (I think most cultures already place a pretty high value, at least theoretically, on such an arrangement via valuing monogamy and marriage.)
