I read Michael Fumento's "Myth of Heterosexual Aids" the moment it hit the market. Brilliant analysis, heavily annotated. One of the more enlightening and comprehensive books I've read on the subject of AIDS.

I read Michael Fumento's "Myth of Heterosexual Aids"

Recently, I visited the Focus on the Family web site. They have links explaining among other things that homosexual activists overstate the fraction of the population that is homosexual. They claim 10%; the best studies indicate 1-3%. But the web site also had a link to a recent article by Fumento asserting that the reason HIV/AIDS is so prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa is that a large fraction of African men have sex with men. Perhaps, I thought to myself, the gay activisits are right, and 10% of the population is gay (a "normal and healthy human sexual variation" as the activists would say). Or, just maybe Fumento is wrong. HIV can spread among populations of highly promiscuous heterosexuals, especially in regions where hygiene is poor, which is an accurate characterization of sub-Saharan African sexual behavior.

The truth of the matter is this: The risk of heterosexual AIDS in this country is still relatively small. (Not zero, but small.) But we know that anal sex is dangerous, we know that promiscuity is dangerous, and we know the only safe and moral path is abstinence before marriage, and monogamy in marriage.

I've not read the book and I only came across both of these links in a post on FR a few weeks ago. I don't remember which Freeper had posted them, but whoever it is has a wealth of links and info on this subject.

Have you read this one? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1034938/posts

Lots of good info here too.
