In the early days of AIDS we were told it was a gay cancer-brought on by homosexual activity-again WRONG.

Yes, but what do the statistics actually show about which population segment contracts the desease more...

That was the point.

The gay population was the huge majority of AIDS cases in the early days. That is why those in the medical field assumed that it was related to homosexual activity. It was only when it was actually identified as a virus did they dispel their earlier assertions.
