Not all gay people have STDs. In 2014, 83% of Syphilis cases were among gay individuals. With a 4.5% gay identification rate in America, around 0.363% of gays have Syphilis. While this rate is about 102.37 times higher than the general population, it doesn't apply to all. https://www.cdc.gov/msmhealth/STD.htm https://www.statista.com/statistics/626774/number-of-cases-of-syphilis-in-the-us/ https://news.gallup.com/poll/234863/estimate-lgbt-population-rises.aspx
