There are many heterosexuals who have it, who spread it, there are many children. Once something like this gets going - it creeps into every part of society.

"Gets going?" This thing has been going, and one fact remains, almost every single person who gets HIV is infected by a person who engages in homosexual behavior. The next largest group infected are IV drug users. The next group most likely to be infected are people who have sex with IV drug users. The only innocent people who get this disease are the babies who are infected by their mothers.

While not as completely innocent as babies, there are two other groups at high-risk for HIV that should also be kept in mind. A small but not inconsiderate portion of the men who acquire HIV through homosexual activity acquire it through rape, especially prison rape. This is one reason that the black male population is at such risk generally, because of the high percentage of black males that circulate through the prison system. Second, a large number of women generally and black women especially acquire HIV through heterosexual contact with men who claim to be heterosexual, even consider themselves heterosexual, but nonetheless have sex with men "on the down low". Some of these women are married to the men with "shadow lives". Both these categories of people should be considered borderline "innocents".
