See, it doesn’t help that you’re now trying to statistically argue the idea that the Freeper demographic is less at risk.

There are no reliable AIDS/HIV stats. Sorry. You were quick to ignore the stats in your own table though, which show more than half the cases were heterosexuals, with a disproportionate amount of those being heterosexual women.

I didn't ignore anything. I said that about half the HIV cases were heterosexual. But that's heterosexual HIV cases from at least 98% of a >300,000,000 population versus about twice that number that from less than 2% of that population. As far as "disproportionate amount of those being heterosexual women" note that total males with HIV from some kind of sexual contact is over 30,000 compare to about 8,500 for women, more than 3:1.

As far as "there are no reliable AIDS/HIV stats," that's awfully convenient because it allows you to argue almost anything.
