YES, AIDS exists and it is B-A-D but unless you're having unprotected sex with homosexuals, bisexuals, and/or especially IV DRUG USERS...the odds on catching the virus are extremely remote. This does not hold true for 3rd world countries. Mainly because they don't have our medical expertise and their definitions for the virus are different than ours.
Haven't read "Bias", but found Fumento to be spot on. His late '80s, early '90s analysis and reasoning clearly explained why AIDS would not be spread heterosexually in the United States. At the time, Whoopi and pals were trying to paint the disease as an equal opportunity killer with everyone at risk. Homosexuals nearly wet themselves trying to have his ideas censored. Turns out he was right, they were wrong.
With the U.S. no longer available as a playground for their lies, they've had to move the war on truth elsewhere. Not surprisingly, none in the liberal media have seen fit to circle back and see the extent of the damage to the public trust these lies caused and who was responsible. Unlike the malfeasance at Enron and Worldcom, the liberal press has no interest in holding the AIDS liars accountable so they will feel free to continue to engage in lying to advance their causes.
AIDS is indeed difficult to transmit becuase it requires blood contact of the recipient. Most of us don't draw blood during sex. However, in third world countries, the rates of open sores on the genitals is much higher than here, and their heterosexual transmission rates can be higher than ours.
