the only reason why AIDS was a bigger threat to gays initially was that in thier prefered method of intercourse, the rectal cavity etc. has much more blood vessels running through it, therefore u have a much more likely chance of catching HIv through unprotected anal sex. i think MP5 may have posted similar stuff and most opf u (apart from some) probably know this.
vaginal sex 'was' safer as the vagina's pH means STD's were slightly harder to transmit. HIV is a virus but it is very weak structurally. but since HIV spread to the heterosexual community (thru drug usage and bisexuals with HIV), it is now both a heterosexual disease and a homosexual disease. to attempt to typecast it as their disease is possibly discrimantory at best, considering most peoploe think it strated off with dutch people trying polio vaccinations out with apes from africa. HIV can strike anyone down.
the reasons africa is so harshly struck with HIV (especially S.africa) is that the black men there find that condoms are unmanly to wear, they dont fully comprehend HIV due to poor education, and they sleep with like 5-6 women a week if not more, and they are always different. im not shitting u cos ive been there nd seen what it does to people.
i do usually not get into these type of posts and join the masses of flames but from what ive seen plifter is pissed off at may1010 and insults gays as a result. i may be wrong, but it seems pointless to keep it up, since something like this has been posted before and it (to me at least) just seems like a shitty way of insulting someone (may) who seems to be a good bloke.

...oh this smile is just too cool !
oh lol@wfabrizio, and latimer, thats quite interesting
