If sexuality was a lifestyle choice, homosexuality would be by far the stupidest option, right behind heterosexuality. I mean come on: go bisexual and suddenly your dating pool is the whole of humankind! Except the fat, but don't really count as human in the first place.

TIL; only gays get HIV. Loving food is like loving men! Unprotected sex = unprotected eating!!!
I might be a little mixed up.

WTF? The overwhelming majority of HIV cases worldwide are in the hetero population. By a vast margin, most cases are in Sub-Saharan Africa. The only reason it was a "gay disease" in the US is it happened to come into this country in a gay man first.

It's a "gay" disease because male on Male transition accounts for 63% of new cases in the US. Though it could be considered a "black" disease as blacks make up 21% of Americans but 41% of new cases. It really should be considered a African disease at this point. Since 5% of adults between 15-49 have HIV in sub-Saharan Africa and 72% of all new infections worldwide..

You're neglecting the history of what happened. It was a "gay disease" from day one. Because it was brought into the country by a gay man and the government really didn't give a fuck about it until it jumped into the hetero population.
