It's kind of infuriating when you think about it, isn't it? We could have basically fucking erased AIDS from the population in a single generation if people had just kept it in their fucking pants (and stopped sharing needles). ALL it would have taken is for people to be responsible. But no. How dare the evil government tell me to quit barebacking a string of random assholes on a Saturday night! That's shaming and phobic!

In the 80s, the epidemiologists predicted that, given the "high" promiscuity rates in the West, almost everyone will have it by 1995. 30 years later and HIV is still 80-90% restricted to male homosexuals and intravenous drug users. The rest is mostly bisexual men and risk takers plus a small number of innocent bystanders.
Let's fact check: One single intercourse with an HIV infected person carries approx. a 1% risk of transmission. The average lifetime partner count for Westerners is around 10-15. This seems to not be enough to cause a pandemic within the general heterosexual non-drug-taking population, but only in a subpopulation. Maybe someone would like to explain the difference? Maybe fucking around big time with no protective measures, maaaaybe?
But the most probable explanation in brain-damaged "progressive" 2018: it's because of discriminashun /s

Yep, 100%. I remember the widespread attention given to the one or two people like Alison Gertz who'd gotten HIV from hetero encounters, and the dire warnings that soon it would be everywhere in the hetero population. I remember the "Myth of Heterosexual AIDS" book that got basically banned and censored because it offended people who hate scientific facts and were desperate for AIDS to not be a disease mostly transmitted through the gay population anymore. Shameful and ridiculous, and the obsession with hetero AIDS meant that the outreach in gay populations was not what it could/should have been. It's still painted as some kind of homophobia when people try to target prevention at/to the gay community, which is ridiculous. The early SJW prototypes basically allowed their own community to be decimated because they couldn't stand the idea of having to take responsibility and reign in the fun a little bit, and were more concerned with being seen as "normal" than actually behaving like normal adults.
I once mentioned something like the above on some internet forum and actually had someone arguing with me, quite frantically/angrily, because according to him hetero sex is the leading worldwide cause of HIV infection. He refused to acknowledge that the barbaric witch-doctor bullshit that goes on in Africa is not indicative of how HIV is spread in the US and the rest of the West, even when shown the CDC's figures. Brain-damaged, indeed.
(Note: I have absolutely no problem with gay people, I support gay marriage, etc., and the above is not meant and should not be taken as some kind of blanket "gay people are abnormal pervs" statement. But the fact is the gay community behaved and still behaves like a bunch of children wrt AIDS, or rather, a vocal subsection of them did and does, and if I was a gay man I'd be furious at the way they sold me and my brothers down the river. Oh, and their disgusting smears of a great man like Ronald Reagan and the lies they tell about his handling of HIV/AIDS are also infuriating--and telling.)
