But then, I live in Philly, where there's always at leat three imbeciles in spitting distance. Maybe the average American does need to be told when to wipe his ass.

Did you use condoms when you had non-monogomous sex? I mean, hey, the chances of getting HIV are pretty low, and it's not THAT likely that your partners had sex with homosexuals or IV drug users or Hatians or Africans. It certainly doesn't happen to everyone having unprotected sex, just a small unfortunate subset of very unlucky bastards. Yeah, the chances of herpes and HPV and ghonnaria are higher, but they not as life threatening.
