Absolutely! Especially early on, the denial in the homosexual community was incredible. The 1980s generation of gay men did change their behavior to a large extent, slowing the epidemic somewhat. But the current generation is said to have reverted back to the promiscuity of the generation before AIDS, and this has public health people worried.
Aren't heterosexual-black women the new high risk group because of their bi-sexual husbands and their 'lowdown lifestyle'. Recently on the local ABC affiliate they did a series called "The Lowdown Lifestyle" about how all these women are getting AIDS from their husbands. Of course, the bi-sexual cheating scum don't seem to feel bad about giving their wives the disease. It's just so hard on them to balance their desires/images.
