As in your reference to more heteros having HIV than homos you fail to consider percentages. I think you'll find that there is a much higher incidence of HIV among homosexuals than heterosexuals based on percentage of population.
Just go to the CDC website and read the latest WHO report. of the 45 million plus people world wide with AIDS/HIV, almost 70% of the cases are in Africa. Are you trying to imply that 70% of Africa is gay?
In 2005, for the first time, there was a higher instance of AIDS/HIV amongst heterosexuals than homosexuals.
In the US, over 70% of women that have contracted AIDS/HIV received it from heterosexual contact.
In the US, IV drug users and high-risk heterosexual sex are the leading causes of AIDS/HIV in heterosexuals.
In India, fully 1% of the population has AIDS/HIV. The majority of the victims are in the sex trade industry serving mostly heterosexual male clients.
To just close your eyes and mind and think that AIDS/HIV is a "gay" disease is wrong and has seriously hampered efforts to globally combat this disease.
