What I want to know is, how does one go about conducting a study like this? Assemble two groups of men, one shirts, the other skins, line up a group of AIDS infected hookers and see who contracts the virus first?

But the idea is not without its detractors. One New York health official was quoted as saying, “That’s all well and good for Africa, but how does that help us here, what with all the gays?”
