"Ummm, this is a very stupid article...there are many studies showing that women can get aids from heterosexual intercourse. In fact, the largest group of people currently growing in number of infections is African American Heterosexual Women."
It is indeed an irresponsible, dangerous article illustrating total ignorance. HIV/AIDS used to be a gay, iv drug user disease. Thanks to --bisexuals-- and promiscuity, it is now our problem. How does one know that the person they have intercourse with has not been an iv drug user, or has patronized prostitutes, or had sex with men? In this day and age, we are encourgaed to experiment, and men who have sex with men aren't consider "gay" unless they are "on the bottom." African-Americans are at a ---significantly-- higher risk of the disease, so anyone who has relations with a black man is more likely to get the disease too. Black men aren't known as being gay, but they do have a good chance of at some point in their lives going to jail. In jail, men do men. It is common.
I had a debate with a liberal once online about this disease. I argued that homosexuality should be shunned instead of encouraged. She didn't quite get it, but I at least had an open enough mind to get her point--and it is a vitally important one. The reason certain groups are hit hard is because those groups tend to be small. In other words, if there was one promiscous young man (perhaps a meth addict) in my small rural community, it would not take long for him to pass his disease on to the drug addict community. It would be more noticeable because it is a small town.
Take note of the recent figures of HIV among seniors in certain communities (those that had the voting problems) in Florida. Something like 1 in 4 or 5. You can't convince me that 75 year olds in Florida have gone gay or have started using an drugs (except viagra). They have become heterosexually promiscous because medicare pays for erectile dysfunction drugs and the men are trolling for filthy hookers, then passing it on.
If you break down the stats in Africa, you find that certain communities are hit harder, rather than the devastating numbers being spread equally across the region. African soldiers use hookers, then bring HIV home to their wives, who are often pregnant.
I am definitely not advocating homosexuality. But as you say, this one affects all of us, thanks to promiscuity. People should continue to abstain or use condoms. Articles like this do nothing (or little) to promote safe lifestyles.
