I also understand that. If one is engaging in high risk behaviors then of course there is a higher chance of getting an STD.
That wasn't my point.
At any rate the facts are that STD's are passed around far more often by heterosexuals.. anyone who tries to argue otherwise is a moron.
For all these people on here that talk about homosexuality is the worse thing on the planet...
They may have forgotten that homosexuality didn't make the 10 commandments but adultry did.
And adultry occurs far more often than homosexuality.
In fact odds are that at least 2 out of 10 people(and I'll be conservative on that) that will post on this board about the evils of homosexuality have had an adulterous relationship at least once in their lives.
The article states that there are many other methods of transmission (in Africa) than sexual ones, but that homo sex is an essential and pervasive component of transmission.
Read the article again (and maybe some of the many links) and you will see that this isn't only about sex (in Africa), but because of many unique social and climatological conditions (in Africa)
hence, the title of the referenced Why is HIV So Prevalent in Africa?
Please read it again
