      You know there are other ways to get HIV besides gay sex, right? HIV can be transmitted through heterosexual intercourse, blood transfusions, and needle sharing.

      “It attributes the rise to several factors including blood transfusions for wounded soldiers, reusing syringes in field hospitals, and soldiers engaging in unprotected sex and drug use.”

        He is referencing all the rape that happens among the drafted fodder. Reported to be quite regular and extreme.

        rape is very common in the russian military lower ranks. Also russian men are less likely to seek anti-retroviral treatment due to homosexuality being criminalized, and its politically criminalized too, so PREP groups are afraid to give treatment in any form.

    What if somewhere a Ukrainian woman who is known positive is intentionally out banging every Russian soldier she can find as a form of long term attack?

    Unlikely for sure, but she’d be a badass for it.

      Uh, then they’ll come to their civilian wives and make children who hold no relation to their atrocities.

      Not too badass, just dumb. Now, some sort of vaginal blades wouldn’t hurt…
