Dr. Ray Yip, director of programs at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has asked the Chinese gay people are responsible in preventing disease spread.
Dr, unsafe sex among gay men has contributed to rapidly growing number of people infected with HIV, because most of the gay have multiple partners, and not regularly use condoms.
