You seem to ignore the fact that these people, who originally caught AIDS from shared hypodermic needles, are sources of AIDS for the heterosexual population at large. You can't assume that their heterosexual partners are also intra-venous drug users you know.
That's part of the problem in Russia. The intra-venous drug users catch AIDS by sharing needles and then pass it on to their multiple heterosexual partners, since many of them are prostitutes.
More of the lies.
Why should anyone want to lie about this?
The natural protection which the vagina provides to the virus is broken; then women with lesions can become infected, as well as men.
STDs are much higher in Third world countries, as well as in Eastern Europe.
That is the reason for the spread of AIDs there, among non-drug-using heterosexuals.
Contrary to projections, although the HIV virus has been infecting people in this country for over 20, the expected breakout into the heterosexual community has not happened for the reasons above.
American heterosexuals are not as promiscuous as adults in many Third world nations, nor do they have the STD infections.
If discussions on HIV infections would include these facts, then I would not refer to "lies" being perpetuated.
There's nothing different about American heterosexuals except their sexual behavior when compared to other cultures.
