It's not really about what couples do as who they do it with, at least in the eyes of the CDC and FDA. Here are some posts from a Think Tank thread on this exact topic.

According to a CBSnew report, the CDC says, Of the estimated 12,200 new HIV infections that occurred in 2010 in the 13-to-24 age group, 72 percent were in young men who have sex with men.
If it's not about what you do, but who you do it with, then you're actually saying that unprotected straight sex is safer that protected male-on-male sex, at least in the eyes of the CDC and FDA. I find it hard to believe that that's true.
The article you've quoted also says:

The analysis also found young MSM were also more likely to engage in risky behaviors than their heterosexual male peers, including having sex with four or more partners, injecting illegal drugs and engaging in unprotected sex.
This suggests that it is in fact about what you do and not just merely with who you do it. Still the questionaire you posted earlier doesn't seem to make any distinction bestween safe and unsafe sex. I find that strange.
