I posted the CDC numbers from 2004, not 1986 like you did.

Oh, and in 1986 the Red Cross was definitely homophobic, just like 90% of the country was then.

The 2003 only CDC estimates show

16.2 % Heterosexual contact

56.8% Male-to-male sexual contact

The Estimated # of AIDS Cases, Through 2003 stats show:

7.5% Heterosexual contact

58.7% Male-to-male sexual contact.

I stand corrected but the point is still valid.

I'll admit gays are at higher risk, but there are many risk groups. My point is still valid as well.

The military does a pretty good medical screening of recruits. I don't think they will be admitting any HIV+ boots, male or otherwise.

They're the greatest risk by a factor of about 8 in the total stats.

Yeah, there are other risk groups but there is ONE major risk group.

The canadian military has operated under that "dont fire anyone no matter how lame they are" attitude for generations.
