AIDS is a huge one.
I met someone a little while ago who was fresh out of the closet and complaining how long they’d spent there.
Statistically, they’d be dead if they were out pre AIDS.
Any actual stats to back that up?
Perhaps I exaggerate, but this person was in a geographic region particularly hard-hit and turns out is really into some of the dangrous behaviour (adjusting filters as part of coming out is, evidently, difficult).

Wow, 61% is crazy...
