It’s been 38 years since the New York Times reported on a ‘rare cancer seen in 41 homosexuals’ – an article from the summer of 1981 that’s considered the first major news story about HIV/AIDS. A generation of gay men have since grown up with condoms and safer sex campaigns a familiar part of everyday life.
Recent studies show an increase in unprotected sex amongst HIV-negative gay men.
Why are some of us ditching condoms?
And in a world of treatment, undetectability and PrEP, is this the start of generation bareback?
It could be the product of a society that has grown tired and complacent of life where sexual intimacy requires forethought and planning. Naked hugs!
