I'm concerned about the inclusion of the "Dutch Study" in this list. The study was designed to look at the sexual habits of HIV+ people in Amsterdam and studied both heterosexual and homosexual people. It defined a "relationship" as anything from a single date to a lifelong, monogamous relationship. The study found identical results between the heterosexual and homosexual participants. You can go read the study if you don't believe me.[[User:Ayzmo|Ayzmo]] 12:53, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

:::provide a link to the study. You can use PUBMED. Are you referring to this study: http://journals.lww.com/aidsonline/pages/articleviewer.aspx?year=2003&issue=05020&article=00012&type=fulltext ? [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 16:20, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

::::Yes, that's the study. My memory of the study is apparently not quite what I remembered(Must have been a similar study that had heterosexual participants) since it has been a couple years since I've read it but my concerns remain much the same. The study was on HIV+ men in Amsterdam under the ate of 30 and was designed to figure out the pathways(social, not biological) through which HIV/AIDS was spread because it was done by epidemiologists. The study was never intended to study relationships or anything about them. Monogamous relationships were purposely excluded from the study because it was concluded that a monogamous relationship would exclude the possibility of spread/infection of HIV. This study does not claim to represent anyone other than the subjects in the study because they were chosen for their high-risk behaviors. If the point of including it here is to just further the Conservative viewpoint of the site than that's fine. But this inclusion is a misrepresentation of the study's findings and brings down the accuracy of this page.
