Americans playing risky game of sexual roulette:
Americans are playing a risky game of sexual roulette, according to a new poll that found only 39 percent of respondents always ask a new lover if they are infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
The new poll by Zogby for MSNBC.com also found that 73 percent of respondents were involved in a monogamous relationship and 66 percent of those surveyed had had unprotected sex while under the influence of alcohol.
Maybe it's just me, but that sounds about right—and in fact, I find it hard to believe that 39% actually ask people if they have AIDS. That seems like a hard question to work into before sleeping together, no matter how "safe" it is.
