Anyone really knowledgeable about AIDS knows that (in a medically modern nation) men have a virtual zero risk of contracting AIDS from a woman, and a woman has a 1-in-500 to 1-in-1000 chance of contracting AIDS from unprotected sex with an infected man, and a virtually zero chance from a guy who she can reliably assume that does not share IV needles or receive gay sex. The real risks for such heterosexuals are other diseases and unprotected anal sex from an unknown partner.

AIDS still remains almost entirely confined to those who receive unprotected anal sex from or share needles with someone who also receives anal sex or who shares needles.

Dishonest medical PR harms public health, no matter whether it comes from gay activists seeking to scare the population into false fear, or from moralists seeking to scare people from having sex.

Then what accounts for the rapid spread of AIDS in Africa? I was under the impression that it was being spread in the heterosexual community as much as in the homosexual community.

"AIDS still remains almost entirely confined to those who receive unprotected anal sex from or share needles with someone who also receives anal sex or who shares needles."

There is also a risk to the insertive parnet for anal sex and a risk to the female during vaginal sex. There has even been oral transmission from lesbian to lesbian.
