If so, why is She sending one message to men, and the exact opposite to women? The CDC have yet to identify a single case of a woman catching HIV through homosexual sex. By far the majority of women with HIV have caught it through heterosexual sex. (As have men, too, actually).
If God truly wants people to be heterosexual, wouldn't She be better off sending the same message to both genders?

You make a good point, which further indicates that AIDS is simply a disease, not a message from some supernatural being.
If it were God's message to the world about homosexuality, we'd have to conclude that he's an extremely bad shot, hitting so many heterosexuals, including infant children, by mistake.

First off, God isn't a woman, and second, I think we are talking about the origins of the disease itself, not how it is contracted. Both sexes have contracted aides, but where did it actually start? If a man has aides he got it from either a man or a woman, whether through sex or blood, right? So if that man had sex with a woman and got aides from her, then she either got it from a man or a woman, right? So where did it begin, from a man having sex from a man or a woman having sex with a woman, or did it start with a man having sex with a woman and aides came out of nowhere? I don't think that is so, since aides just doesn't appear out of no where between a man or woman in a hetero relationship where there have been no other partners. Let's assume that a gay man has always been gay and has been with the same partner for many years, with no cheating at all, will aides eventually overtake them, since they are gay, unlikely.
SO REALLY WHERE DID IT BEGIN is the bigger question, not how we give it to each other or which race or gender has been touched by this disease more.
But to answer your question, no it is not God's message to gay people, and anyone spreading such crap will be punished as harshly as they ASSUME gay people will be by God.
Just a thought.

Heterosexual sex can pass HIV as well, and this is the most common way it is passed. I am sure you will get a response or two from some hateful person that claims to be Christian, saying "Well it started with Homosexuals! They introduced this great evil onto man!" Which is utterly ridiculous and there is no evidence to support this viewpoint.
Good post
(From reading the other answers, it is obvious that many people wrote a response without reading the question because they call you an idiot and then completely agree with what you are saying....please ignore them)

Was the black death gods message to the peope of Europe? Was TB? Was polio gods message to the world in the 1950s? The answer is no, just like AIDS is not any kind of 'message' from any kind of god. It is a disease, we've been plague by various ones over millions of years and there will be new ones or mutated ones that replace these. No message, just microbiology at work.

God is not sending a message about homosexuality through AIDS. Surely you know the reason more homosexual men contract AIDS than homosexual women is because of the way the male homosexual act is preformed! Be careful!!!

She! Haha. Honestly, if that were true, why would God only say it's bad for two men, but then he says, "Oh, two women? Sure, that's ok." It doesn't make any sense. It's heartbreaking to see how some Christians respond to homosexuality. If they think it's wrong, I don't have a problem with their opinion, but some of them are just awful. If you're gay, that's not your fault. I have friends who were raised in strict Christian families and they turned out to be lesbian/gay/bisexual. Some of them I've known my whole life and some I've known for a couple of years. My friend had to move because he told his mother that he was gay. TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY. That is very sad.
But, I'm going off topic. AIDS is not a message about homosexuality.

No. You have to remember EVERYONE gets HIV, not just homosexuals. And not just from sex, but from dirty needles and bad blood. There are people of all ages who have it including children and babies.
It's another plague send out by nature to lessen the overpopulation of Earth.
God made ALL people - homosexuals too. Homosexuality exists in most life on Earth.

You talk about God as a female. What makes God a female verses a male I wonder? Does God have private parts? Is God Straight or Gay? I think God is probably a hermaphrodite! I mean Its God .... must have it all!

No god.
Not a message.
Just a disease that plagues MILLIONS of people of all sexual orientations.
In fact, most HIV/AIDS is spread through heterosexual sex now...so what's "god" saying now?
