I just think that Homosexual Sex puts a person more at risk than Heterosexuals. But then again the biggest AIDS epedimic is in Africa and there aren't many I.V. Drug users or Gay's, so who knows.

Africa's aides problem is based on prostitution. There is also a large population of truck drivers who seek "rest relief" at stops away from home.
The parallel with the homosexuals in the Western world (not just USA) is the indiscriminate sex, sex with high risk groups (prostitutes, drug users, homosexuals). In that regard there is not much different.
It is noteworthy to state that in the USA according to the CDC 94% of all new hiv cases are within the homosexual group.

In that case, your assessment is based upon faulty premises. Without getting into "icky" specifics, it isn't "homosexual sex" that is at higher risk, it's a certain specific sexual act often engaged in by homosexual males. Not every homosexual male engeges in that act, however, and some heterosexuals engage in the same act, and it's just as risky when they do it. Lesbians typically do not engage in that particular act. As such, "homosexual sex" isn't a higher risk activity per se, because there's no single specific action defined under "homosexual sex".
