Which should deter people from that choice, and reveal such as making the wrong one. Instead, it is defended. Despite:
In 2019, heterosexual men accounted for 7% of HIV diagnoses, and heterosexual women accounted for 16% of HIV diagnoses.
The largest percentage of HIV infections was attributed to male-to-male sexual contact (66% overall and 81% among males).
Overall there were 36.801 new HIV diagnoses in the United States and Dependent Areas 2019 among both men and women, with 23% being among heterosexuals:

Overall there were 36.801 new HIV diagnoses in the United States and Dependent Areas 2019 among both men and women, with 23% being among heterosexuals:
Also according to the CDC (chart), in 2017 male to male sexual contact was the mode of transmission in 92% of new HIV cases among male youth aged 13 to 24, and MSM accounted for 81% of diagnoses among males and 70% of all new HIV diagnoses, and 2 out of every 3 diagnoses in the United States. Which is despite only representing approximately 4% of the male population).
And which practice (historically) has resulted in a greatly increased incidence of other infectious diseases and premature death. (Even when their disease is well controlled, people with HIV can develop aging-related conditions such as cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, kidney and liver disease, osteoporosis, and cognitive impairment decades ahead of their HIV-negative counterparts, and their life expectancy is significantly reduced.) And which practice is primarily responsible for more than 700,000 people with AIDS having died (as of 2017 since 1981) in the USA since the beginning of the epidemic - despite decades of attempting to tame it into being "safe." (Worldwide, 77.3 million people have contracted HIV and 35.4 million have died of AIDS-related illnesses since the beginning of the pandemic in 1981 (https://health.usnews.com/conditions/hiv-aids/articles/hiv-statistics)

New HIV Diagnoses Among Youth by Transmission Category and Sex (2017) in the US and Dependent Areas, 2017
In 2019, gay and bisexual men (men who have sexual relations with other men: (MSM) accounted for 69% (25,552) of the 36,801 new HIV diagnoses and 86% of diagnoses among males in the United States and 6 dependent areas (https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/statistics/overview/ataglance.html, accessed Mon, 09/20/21) (Fig. 6). In 2019 in the United States and 6 dependent areas, diagnoses of HIV infection for adolescents and young adults attributed to MMSC (approximately 83%, including 3% MMSC and IDU) and those attributed to heterosexual contact (13%) accounted for approximately 97% of diagnoses in the United States. 
In addition to which is the financial cost which has been going for decades:
God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:4–6) - and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with. Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47
