> This perpetuates the myth that HIV is mainly a problem for gay people. Can we change to another article, such as [1]?
But how is that a myth? The US Gov site [0] that is linked in the engadget article literally states that
> HIV continues to have a disproportionate impact on certain populations, particularly racial and ethnic minorities and gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men.
Fruther down:
> Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM)b are the population most affected by HIV in the U.S.:
> MSM accounted for 69% of new HIV diagnoses in the United States.
While I agree that the focusing only on LGBTQ+ as a group is not an ideal way to put it, there is no myth in claiming that gay/bisexual men are at the highest risk of getting it.
