“Here is “the story” as I understand it: AIDS is a homosexual disease in the United States. AIDS is a heterosexual disease in Africa. End of story.
This story never made sense to me. Africa is far away, but I think chemistry, biology and medicine work the same way. Inquiry on this matter is not politically correct.”
I think it is correct to state that AIDS originated at some point in time as a homosexual disease, not a heterosexual one. It’s “root” or original cause is gay sex, not hetero sex. So if gay sex had never happened among homo sapiens, it would not be a problem. I think it is also correct that the disease has been spread from the originating homosexuals to the heterosexual population by means of blood, prostitutes, needles, etc. Now, even babies are born with AIDS.

HIV-AIDS started as a heterosexual disease in African humans and became a “gay disease” in the US when a gay male flight attendent from Air Canada had sex with multiple partners most likely including a bi-sexual African. His name was Gaetan Dugas and he is known as “patient zero” in the HIV-AIDS epidemic in the Americas. Dugas died of kidney failure from AIDS related symptons in 1984.
In most of the world today, HIV-AIDS is not primarily a gay disease but is spread most often by injection drug addiction and sharing infected needles.
