Answer 1

I understand your question. It is normal for people to be upset that you are targeting gay people, but I had this question at one point - why are gay people ASSOCIATED with aids? Well, it started out as what people believed to be fact, and turned into a stereotype.

The fact is, that during gay sex it is more likely to rip small sores into your partner's..umm a$$hole..due to the friction. If you are having unprotected sex its more likely for them to exchange bodily fluids that way.

Today HIV/aids is a major problem in the gay community, but it is also a major problem in the other communities as well. Aids/HIV has hit every country, and in the US the person more likely to be infected is a black female, since gay black males dont identity themselves as homosexual, and the women think they are not at risk

Answer 2

They're not actually. Most homosexuals in the developed world do not die from AIDS but more from AIDS related diseases. There's medication for it, which adds years to life after infection, however it isn't a cure. There's still opportunistic infections, and side effects from the drugs that kill people.

The largest growing demographic when it comes to HIV in the developed world is among heterosexual women. Ladies, use condoms!

Oh and as I recall the spread of HIV in the gay community is steady now I think, I believe there was a drop, then a spike recently, and now it's leveled out. Don't quote me on it. But it's definitely not the "gays only" disease of the 70s.

Answer 3

Its not just aids that are dieing from aids. It affects a lot of blacks in Africa and the American black community. Homosexuality has been stereotyped to be the cause of aids. But in general aids affects everyone what has unprotected sex and aren't careful about sex with their partners.

Answer 4

For the same exact reason that even MORE straights are dying from it. Unsafe sex, shared drug needle usage, or contact with contaminated blood.

Stop over generalizing and stereotyping. It's rude and makes u look ignorant.

Answer 5

Why are so many straights uneducated morons?

Seriously if you think the majority of homosexuals are dying from AIDS you need serious help.

Answer 6

i guess you are not that educated. there are many people world wide dying from Aids, not only gays in general.

Answer 7

Sweetie, That was the eightys. Have you not watched the news in 20 years?

Answer 8

Gee I don't know, why are there 5 times that number of heteros dying from the same disease?

Answer 9

No. You're wrong. The biggest HIV transmissions in the world at the moment are HETEROSEXUAL BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS and AMERICAN HETEROSEXUAL IV DRUG USERS.

Answer 10

pure carelessness in their sexual habits. over 50% of all new cases in the Continental US are gay. It appears that a lot have just not learned.
