The guy is a moron. The extremely HIGH rate of HIV/AIDS in Africa is largely due to prostitutes... Same is true in SE Asia.
He’s just being selective about his data.

Besides, I DO believe in legislating morality. You know, little things like murder, rape, theft, pedophilia, bestiality, etc... ALL laws legislate morality to some degree.

Except maybe for the bestiality part, all of these crimes are far less morality based and far more victim based. One person suffering harm by the direct and unapproved actions of another person.

And guess what, prostitution is illegal there too (you haven't specified any countries, but so far, I'! Wow, those laws sure work well, don't they?

Besides, I'm not sure where you are getting your HIV/AIDS data from. I have heard of three things causing the massive spread of HIV in Africa:

Rape. Gang rapes are a huge problem. Remember that lady that made the anti-rape condom thing?
Wife inheritance. If a man dies, his brother "inherits" the wife in many place. If the man died of AIDS, the wife probably has HIV. After repeated sexual encounters, the brother will also get HIV.
Odd HIV cures. They believe that if you get HIV, you should have sex with a virgin, as that will cure it. Also, there is poor education about HIV. Many African governments officially denied the existence of HIV, and some still do not recognize that it is sexually transmitted. One official even thought that showering after having sex would protect him from HIV.

I've already replied to this argument.

HIV is very difficult to transmit through normal sex between healthy people. The CDC has put the chance of contraction at 1 in 1000 for the female partner and 1 in 2000 for the male.

The situation in Africa isn't healthy people, it is impoverished peasants with open sores all over their bodies. Contact in those circumstances is ideal for transmission of AIDS as well as every other disease.

These crimes have victims who are deprived of life, liberty, or property which is the legitimate function of government protection via the use of force. Apples & oranges buddy.

They don’t use codoms in SE Asia and Africa.
