@Cupcake I completely agree heterosexuals have a false sense of security, some of them anyway. I’m right on board with you and everything you said. I just think there will be resistance in the Evangelical community to get their children vaccinated (I can see it being paired with the HPV vaccine) and there will be resistance among a lot of heterosexual adults for themselves also to believe they are vulnerable. especially women in monogamous relationships. Of course we know women in “monogamous” relationships get HPV and HIV and other STD’s from their SO’s.
I do think women will be more likely to feel vulnerable than heterosexual men, and in some ways woman are actually more vulnerable because of anatomy. Also, women often have worse symptoms from STD so if they have been through one they believe it can happen, while men stay in their denial even when it has happened to them.
You mention Black women, I think the Black community is more likely to have men on the down low (gay sex in secret) and men who won’t use a condoms.
Supposedly, back in the 80’s, there was a big concern about the Hispanic community also, because of the macho men, similar to the Black community, and also girls thinking they need to stay virgins so they were having anal sex, I am not sure how founded that reasoning was. I can tell you my sister was a big sister with Catholic Charities and her little sister said to her at one point she wouldn’t use a condom if she had sex, because then it is like two sins, so double as bad. First sin is having sex and second sin is preventing a baby. Hopefully, my sister got through to her to use some sort of birth control if she had sex. As far as I know she did not wind up to be a teenage mom.
