It is very refreshing to know that your so-called love of God teaches you to be an intolerant and bigoted. There's nothing like the passionate, evangelical love of Christ as exemplified by his true servants.

no of course not. I think because of the nature of the disease it has always been around but doctors and scientists were unable to completely be sure of the nature of the disease till the early eighties. Think about it, no one actually dies of AIDS, you die from complications i.e. a disease you got due to the fact you have a non-functioning immune ssytem. It doesn't even make sense that a disease so widespread not have been around until 20 years ago. Before recently how would we even be able to detect such a disease without the advances in medicine we currently have. To blame homosexuality for AIDS just displays a lack of knowledge. How does that claim explain how the virus was created or originated? Plus I'm sure if you do your research you'll find that far more heterosexual people worldwide have the disease. Being gay or straight is just not the issue with this.

No. Why would you think so? And I'm not asking in a mean, sarcastic way, but because I truly want to know.
The disease simply exists. When it began to spread and became an epidemic, it's true that it was predominantly in the homosexual communities, but the only reason for that is because it is easily transmitted through anal sex (small tears in the rectum allow blood to mingle with the infected sexual fluids). Had everybody been practicing safe sex (which no one really thought about back then, since anything you caught could be fixed with a dose of penicilin), it wouldn't have become as huge as it is.
Now it is a worldwide thing spread among everybody, and it's due to 1) the fact that it's a disease (I mean, the same reason works for all disease- we have the common cold because it exists, not because of anything else- it just a virus), and 2) we don't take precautions.
Hope that makes sense.

You are welcome to believe so. It is your right, this is America.
On the other hand, the facts do not agree.
HIV is a mutation of SIV (Simian Immunodeficiency Virus) HIV initially spread exclusively (and still does primarily in Africa and Asia) through heterosexual contact. In Haiti bi-sexual prostitutes spread the disease to homosexual visitors from the US and Canada.
For many years in North America and those areas to which HIV spread from North America it was primarily contained to the gay community (a very lucky thing for the US, Canada and Western Europe) now however it has broken out of that box. Last year, for example, only 45% of new infections in the US (according to the Centers for Disease Control) were among homosexual and bisexual men and intravenous drug users -- the traditional communities at risk. 55% were among exclusive heterosexuals -- even in America.
When I say that straight people in America, for example, should feel lucky, I say it for two reasons. The first is that it took almost 2 decades for HIV to really break out of the box it was in here -- whether we used that time or not, it gave time for education and prevention efforts to prepare the much larger straight community for the incoming difficulty and to do research. The second is simple observation. In countries in Africa where the disease has always been heterosexual, and has been in circulation only 10 years longer than here, 10-12-17, even 30% infection rates are common. Here, even with the increasing breakout into the straight world, infection rate is less than 1/2 of one percent.
Be thankful.

No. It describes one group that is at high risk for AIDS, but not the reason behind it.
If homosexuality were the reason behind AIDS (as in, its God's punishment for AIDS?), then why would drug users, those who have blood transfusions, and some ethnic groups also be at risk?

I don't know that the reason could ever be prooven. That would be like saying are women the reason we have breast cancer? Does it matter either way - it is terrible thing and is killing way too many people. Surely you don't want that....
Now about that hair.......

LOL you can "believe" whatever you want, that doesn't make it the truth. AIDS was found in the HETEROSEXUAL population in AFRICA 10 years (or more) before it ever became associated with homosexuals. They didn't even know what it was, but we do now.

I'm not sure that it matters where AIDS comes from. We need to focus on prevention and a cure, now.

No but I am so sad that you are not homosexual if for no other reason than that potentially you may reproduce and given your aparent IQ that scares me.

isn't it a little early in the morning to be spreading your biggotry? aids was created by nature as a form of population control, same as cancer. homosexuals just happened to be exposed to it before heterosexuals were.
