But this April a case was discovered in which the individual, a homosexual, had never been abroad and had no foreign sexual partners. This case shattered the myth that one was safe by avoiding foreigners and generated a certain panic "in the circle."
然而今年四月間，高醫診斷出的廿八歲楊姓同性戀患者，卻從未出過國門，在台北、高雄兩地近廿名性伴侶中，也沒有外國人。這個「土生土長」的病例，打破了「不要碰外國佬就沒事」的迷信，在「圈內」確已引起不小的恐慌。
