there are those (usu defensive Brothahs) in the public health arena who make this same argument. To them(you), all I can say is, wait for the data to substantiate it, then(which will take 10-15 years). I don't have time for one more Sistah to become infected while we wait for data substantiation. No one is telling Sistahs(least of all me) to give up on Brothahs. But it only makes sense to be safe. That is going to require a total overhaul of everything our mothers told us(well, not mine, but she's a different type of 'cookie') regarding relationships. We can't TOTALLY "exhale" anymore. It's just not safe. Besides, if no one has anything to hide anyway, why not get tested together, and if you aren't trying to get pregnant, why not continue to use condoms(even AFTER things get serious)? I know, that's not how we are USED to doing things. But, people are still dying out here(don't get it twisted). We can't hold onto the old ways of doing things, AND remain healthy. Something's gotta give.
