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.

It does make for a interesting comparison. After the AIDs epidemic hit, the gay community got their shit together and brought the outbreak of the disease down. While society is going the other direction with obesity diseases.

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.
