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?

We engage in all kinds of behaviors that signifigantly increase our chances of death. Tracking a car, racing - hell, driving in an interstate are all pretty dangerous activities.
By its very mechanics (sorry, don't mean to make you squirm) unprotected homosexual sex does create more risk than heterosexual sex. Protected, the risk is more or less the same. This is not the same as the inherent danger of smoking/overeating/sedintary lifestyle/etc.
