In a recent issue of "Christopher Street", Andrew Holleran writes about
the inconsistent way gay men tend to behave sexually with someone they
know to be HIV+, and someone whose HIV status they don't know at all.
He recalls visiting a friend with AIDS while the friend was administering
IV medication to himself.  As he was leaving, he mentioned to the friend,
"they're now saying that oral sex is safe".  "Fine", said his friend,
"then suck *me*".  He realized that he certainly would not have oral sex
with someone he knew to be HIV+, or to have AIDS, but also recognized
that he'd be only too willing to do so with a total stranger, about whom
he knew nothing.
