What?? DC has actually been in the news quite a bit due to the high numbers of African American males with HIV. 50% of new HIV dx are African Americans, yet they make up just 13% of the population. Sad how it's affecting the poor inner cities. Anyway.

Anyway, as far as STDs go. Isn't it 1 in 4 people have an STD (ages 15-24). Usually Ft. Lauderdale, Miami are number 1 in the STD ranks. I haven't heard of SF ever topping the list.

Maybe the tour book is misguided and I will assume believes the city is filled with gay people infecting everyone with HIV. Not the case.

I think the original poster has a slight language barrier and has no poor intentions. But really, it's a silly question. Nobody goes around thinking about the STD rate when they're out shopping or having dinner in a beautiful city.

Apologies! I think the troll energy of the past finally got to me. Sincerely sorry for jumping to conclusions with your post. Please don't take it personally. On a more general note, I practice safe sex and so does my bf....that's my answer.
