The primary, by far, method for transmission of the AIDs virus is male on male sodomy. Next is....IV drug users.
Texas reasons for criminalizing sodomy has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that Texans have an interest in preventing the spread of AIDs by criminalizing sodomy. So you can put down that straw man argument.

"Texas reasons for criminalizing sodomy"Oh really?
Before 1973, Texas law criminalized sodomy for all its citizens, the law was overturned and replaced with one that only banned homosexual sodomy, thus effectively decriminalizing sodomy for the vast majority of the State's citizens.
In light of thet, how is it exactly that you see Texas as looking to "criminalize" sodomy?

I completely disagree. The state has a {great} interest in stopping the spread of AIDs via sodomy.
