I will tell you at right now even if it has a recommendation for all people many will not in first world. HIV still is "gay disease" to most thinking and many will not want to admit risk of getting it. This is largest problem to solve if you are wanting to remove HIV from population. I think maybe best focus are bi sexuals, they are representing "cross over point" from gay population into straights where it maybe can spread more in future.

Indeed. There are people wanting there to be a gay disease, and may actually oppose research to preserve what they see as a natural form of personal judgment.

There are multiple ways actually. This is not a tit for tat kind of thing.

No one I know, who are gay or otherwise just not a normie in these things, would want, or have expressed HIV something needing to be preserved, continuing to exist and do the great harm in this world that it does.

Maybe you do. That just has not been my experience.

One would also think of confusion in people as a shared risk regardless of where any of us may be. Despite best efforts, everyone has a risk unless they are inactive.
