Are these false claims? From Grokipedia:

> This marked the onset of what would become a devastating crisis disproportionately affecting gay male communities, where behaviors idealized in pornography—such as unprotected receptive anal intercourse and multiple anonymous partners—aligned directly with primary transmission routes, leading to rapid seroconversion rates.

This sounds plausible. Is it factually incorrect?

[stubish]

Yes, it is factually incorrect.

Now you have two unsubstantiated opinions contradicting each other.

Why not have the decency to respond with your real HN account, instead of making a new account just to post tedious sealioning?

[this is the point at which you swear up, down and sideways that you've never ever in your whole life had a HN account, this is your first account ever, how dare i, etc. etc. etc.]

Edit to answer your totally-asked-in-good-faith question: Causation != correlation.

It is a genuine question. If you don't want to engage in intellectual curiosity on this topic, please do not respond at all. Thank you.
