I didn't bring up "change", it was in the definiton I quoted. And ok, each and every single word used to define the term CONSERVATIVE does not apply to what would be an accurate picture of Japan nowadays, but whatever, I will not argue with you if you want to deny that there are certain aspects of the Japanese culture that can be labeled as conservative. To me it is a fact, and therefore this MAY be ONE of the many reasons why it has a low HIV rate.

I am not trying to get into an argument.
Well we are talking about sexuality, right? The question is why does Japan have such a low HIV rate (if that is in fact the case).
You introduced the idea that Japan is conservative, therefore they have a low HIV rate. I am just trying to flesh that thought out a bit.
Generally sexually conservative countries or areas are also very religious. It doesn't really matter what religion it is.
I think if the HIV rate in Japan really is very low it is because the majority of Japanese never have sex with anyone but other Japanese. Japan is an island country, so that itself gives a level of protection.
