Do you also think that smoking doesn't harm the smoker, that alcoholism doesn't harm the drinker or obesity doesn't harm the obese person?

Unprotected sex (homo- or heterosexual) increases the risk.
I stand by my argument. Being gay doesn't harm the gay person. Being in a committed relationship doesn't harm the gay person.
Smoking is a behavior exhibited by a person. It increases risks of disease. Unprotected sex is a behavior exhibited by a person. It increases risks of disease.
Being attracted to the same sex in and of itself does *not* increase risk.
