Here in the UK HIV has grown amongst heterosexuals. Meanwhile, as gays became more accepted within society (demonstrated by many things including the way that parades have become popular events for gays and their heterosexual friends), so gay people have become more able to access good information and have been encouraged to develop relationships - rather than feeling the need to slink around in the shadows. If Israel wants to address the HIV rates amongst its gay population tolerance is the key. The kind of bigotry shown by the first three posters on here will only create more problems. It also shows Jewish `compassion` in a very poor light.
