This is the summary of the actual study:

Summary: The consensus among influential AIDS experts that heterosexual trans-mission accounts for 90% of HIV infections in African adults emerged no later than 1988. We examine evidence available through 1988, including risk measures associating HIV with sexual behaviour, health care, and socioeconomic variables, HIV in children, and risks for HIV in prostitutes and STD patients. Evidence permits the interpretation that health care exposures caused more HIV than sexual transmission. In general population studies, crude risk measures associate more than half of HIV infections in adults with health care exposures. Early studies did not resolve questions about direction of causation (between injections and HIV) and confound (between injections and STD).

Preconceptions about African sexuality and a desire to maintain public trust in health care may have encouraged discounting of evidence. We urge renewed, evidence-based, investigations into the proportion of African HIV from non-sexual exposures.

Keywords: HIV, Africa, nosocomial, iatrogenic, risk factors.

Note: Africa seems to be the sole location of massive spread of AIDS via heterosexual sex. This study torpedoes that assumption which is why the PC-driven scientists will try to keep it suppressed.

Let's see if The New York Times features it.

They won't.

More PC mythology bites the dust.

He pointed out that HIV epidemics in South Africa and Zimbabwe, which had good health systems, were less developed than those in countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, where medical care was poorer.

This was the opposite of what would be expected if most cases were transmitted through medical procedures, he said.

Huh? Wouldn't countries with better health systems (i.e. money) be less likely to reuse needles, so have lower infection rates, while poorer countries would cut corners, and have increased rates. Just as the study indicates.

Do they have a logic malfunction or what?

We're concerned that a report like this might tend to make people drop their guard and not use condoms UNAids chief scientific officer Catherine Hankins "Unsafe sex continues to be the major route of transmission throughout the world," she said. "We're concerned that a report like this might tend to make people drop their guard and not use condoms, when it's exactly using condoms that is required at this point.

Yup. We're concerned that the truth might interfere with our social engineering.
