Assignment:

In his 2007 book, More Sex Is Safer Sex: The Unconventional Wisdom of Economics, Steven E. Landsburg states that the HIV positive portion of the population is more sexually active than the HIV negative portion. He reasons that if the HIV-negative portion became more sexually active, the risk of HIV transmission per encounter would decrease, which leads to the conclusion that "more sex is safer sex".

Evaluate this conclusion. Do you find Lansburg's reasoning persuasive? Why or why not?
