Took the bait just like I KNEW you would. This goes to that predictability thing I keep referring too about you. Do you think I would make such a claim without the cold hard facts to back me up? Truth is that no Sir, it isn't just promiscuity that causes the spread of HIV. All things being equal, which in language comprehension a 4 year old would understand, means that all samples are assumed the same degree of latitude statistically, we see that 75% of all cases of HIV in the USA is by men having sex with men, the other 28% or so is by IDU, and the remaining is by heterosexuals that as a matter of FACT also fall into risky categories of which, being a bisexual, or having sex with someone that is, is an indicator. The cold hard truth is that at least in the USA and the West, a heterosexual who does not have sex with a bisexual or homosexual, or use intravenous drugs has a statistically zero chance of contracting HIV in their lifetime. Whereas a homosexual man has a 25% chance of contracting HIV in their lifetime, and a 50% chance before they reach the age of 30. Now why do you suppose that is? It is because gay men, especially young gay men between the ages of 15 to 24 simply do NOT practice safe sex. In many surveys done on the topic, they, by a huge margin, find safe sex to be atypical of the homosexual
lifestyle. Barebacking and bug chasing, and drug mixing are behaviors that are embraced by the young homosexual, not avoided. They as a group or population demographic do NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT practice safe sex period! Also, to wet your whistle with some more unpopular facts, the increase in HIV over the past several years in spite of a dramatic effort to slow the spread, is among the homosexual youth, and black men are the highest growth category. Moreover, take into account that statistically heterosexuals test themselves for HIV by a whopping 80% compared to homosexuals who are way down with 22% even bothering to test themselves after a sexual encounter. So Sir, although it might sound all light and puffy the way you present and frame your argument, your argument fails in that, your premise is completely wrong. Homosexuality, despite all the inherent risks is not in and of itself a gay disease, however, homosexual culture is most certainly what is allowing it to stick around.
Ok, well have it your way unicorn chaser.. I'll stick to the facts.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, this link shows you how incredibly wrong you are about the
facts!

By the way, this is just one link, there are many that confirm, and expand on the causes and the spread of HIV in the Western world if you're truly interested in attacking the topic from an unbiased point of view.
