After reading the article, I don’t necessarily think it is biased to assuming STDs are more prevalent in the gay, bi, and trans community, just that that is the population this particular group of researchers have done the most studies on. I know that the gay, bi, and trans community in the past had much less healthcare studies for various reasons, so it is a good thing IMO that this population is not overlooked in studies and healthcare issues that impact all persons regardless of sex, sexual activity, or sexual identity.
I completely agree with limiting unnecessary prescriptions to help prevent “superbugs” along with secondary effects on the individuals taking the medications.
I never liked the idea of doctors just throwing pills at people. I have family members who run to their doc or a local clinic every time they get a cold to get a “z-pack” without just trying to deal with it allowing their non-compromised immune system do it’s job. I believe part of the problem is lack of education (or incorrect information from online sites) and lack of knowledge of appropriate facilities to address conditions. The emergency room is for emergencies… not boo boos or something you can see your doctor or a doctor at a clinic for. Anyway, I have gone off on a tangent.
