What percentage of the gay community is infected with HIV/AIDS

What percentage of the gay community is infected with HIV/AIDS?
I read a CDC "HIV/AIDS" fact sheet from Aug 2009 which said 25% That seems kinda high.

Thanks for your question. In the UK and USA especially, the percentage of young gay men who have been infected with HIV and the percentage with AIDS are much higher. Among those aged between 18 and 22, the infection rate was 30 percent.

How can a woman/ woman date safely without contracting STDS including HIV?AIDS

How can a woman/ woman date safely without contracting STDS including HIV?AIDS?
Ok they say practice safe sex. Some people know they are infected with Hiv/Aids and deliberately and maliciously are set to go out and infect others . Many innocent people are suffering. How can you protect yourself? Who do you trust? Suppose as a young woman you want to have a baby?

You trust your spouse whom you married as a virgin.

honestly.. if u're with someone.. n you both wanna have sex.... you should get tested. even if u're a virgin. just b/c mom/dad are still togehter.. doesn't mean they're totally clean. some STD's can be passed through birth. if u're serious about haivng sex with the person...you should ask them to get tested. if they get offended... jsut sit em down n say look, we live in a f'ed up world.. n b/c you care about em, you'd rather them be safe. you want them to know you're 100% clean... and if you aren't you need to be honest about it. if they like you/you like them... u'll do it. if not, maybe you should move on to someone who is more understanding. you need to feel comfortable, and safe with the ppl you have sex with.

If you are that untrusting then just take your significant other to have him tested before you sleep with him. If you are practicing safe sex and have been tested, then you have drastically reduced the chance of catching anything. If you are sleeping around then that is a different story. You can't be a safe sex whore or have sex with other people who sleep around. So, trust your mate. And if you are wanting a baby then I assume you have been with the same person for a long amount of time. By now you know this person isn't sleeping around, he has been tested, and you both are disease free. The world isn't as horrible as it seems. As long as you watch out for yourself you will be fine. When you finally meet the right guy and he likes you enough, he will be willing to go through whatever you want to make sure you are safe. And not to be rude to those innocent people you talk about, but those are usually people who have been sleeping around, who aren't taking precautionary measures like tests, aren't using condoms, and don't know their mate enough to know whether they have a disease. They in no way deserve a disease, but had they been more careful it probably wouldn't have happened. That only goes to people in developed countries, not places like Africa where it is harder to find the resources for all of that. I get tested once a year for all STDs. I do not sleep around. I have been with my boyfriend for a long time. But I am also paranoid :)

once exposed to air, the virus dies in about 3 seconds. But, i wouldn't recommend necrophelia......

Well, when a person dies so does their cells. HIV/AIDS can't live without a cell host so I think it's a couple of hours.
