The origin of HIV, I believe anal sex with monkeys, is not exactly a homo origin. But, if the lore is true, the locals who were raping the monkeys then had homo sex with tourists who brought it back, which in my book makes it a homo disease. And the fact that male prostitutes to the homo trade are IV drug users should not have surprised anyone.
The whole thing is a sordid disgusting episode which gives us innocents way too much information about their disgusting lifestyle. Its hard to have sympathy with a person who would go to a gay bath house or bar to let 10 or 20 strangers give them anal sex.

Whatever the origin, today in the West it is very much a homosexual (men) disease. As I understand it, much of the AIDS in Africa is hetero (homos dare not leave the closets in much of Africa), but in the developed world it is a gay men’s disease. Sure, some is transmitted via needles, but that is a small part of the AIDS population.
