I don't know where AIDS originated Aussie, but it was predominant in homosexual men that had multiple sex partners who fucked each other in the ass. It's a fact and you can't just overlook it for the sake of being politically correct.
Jesus, aussie. You often refuse to provide facts/proof to support your stubborn sweeping (and, frequently, wrong) assertions during a serious discussion, and you've scoffed at those who provide them to you proactively or who request them of you. Now, you want scientific results from others to support what's common knowledge?
Sally's right on this one. The scale of the AIDS epidemic and the demographics of those affected differs from region to region. But, three decades into the epidemic and with many advancements in treatment and management, men who have sex with men are still the most impacted (no pun intended) in most regions.
In North America, 2% of the population is gay men - but 57% of the newly infected are gay men, with African-American homosexual men being the largest growing sector. That's a fact, a sad one, but a fact nonetheless. In Latin America and Asia, homosexual men also account for the largest portion of the newly infected.
And, yes, drug injectors and sex workers of all races and sexual orientations are at or near the highest portion of the population of newly affected across all regions.
Don't believe me or sally? Want more scientific results and data? Read the Unicef report. I read it last year; very interesting if you actually want the straight dope without bias, emotion, crudity, opinion or perceived political correctness mixed in.
