Back n the 60s and 70s and right up to present day in some cases people have slaped the problem of aids right on the gay community,When infact aids is more about uneducation and the giveing and recieving of information.

You can cantract aids by many different way,s it,s not just a matter of haveing unprotected *** with many different partner,s.

Sharing needles with other drug user,s

By accident if you cut your self

Or you could be unfortunant enough to be born with it

Bottom line is AID,S has nothing to do with being gay although you do risk cathing it if your not carful alway,s talk about these kind of thing,s if it is some thing you worry about and alway,s use condom,s your better off safe than sorry.

I was told that you cant get AIDS, if you have unprotected ***, yet the peopple are both clean. Been told that by a few people in fact, but others say you can still get it.

AIDS wasn't known in the 60's and 70's, it was first known in 1981 when brought back by a straight woman who worked as a nurse over in Africa.
You're right that they blamed gays for this, because they had no one else to blame.

Good point on what you stated there, Neb.

It's out of ignorance that AIDS was and still is being blamed on homosexuals.

That's true, I agree.
More straight people have diseases anyway, a survey was found, yet, they still blame gays.

Just to clear up some facts about AIDS and where it originated from….

AIDS will probably never be traced to its immediate source, but scientists now know that the disease is native to the central African nations of Zaire, Burundi, Ugandi, Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya, and that there is a species of monkey that abounds in that region, called the African "green", which carries a virus very similar in structure to that of the AIDS virus and in the very blood cells that AIDS prefers. These monkeys do not react to the disease as humans and other primates do, probably because they have developed a built-in protection against it.

Because of this, they may have been carrying the virus long before it became known to humans. The natives often sell the monkeys and sometimes eat their flesh. It is very probable that bites and scratches from the monkeys started the infection in man. As the natives were forced from their independent tribes into the cities, the monkeys migrated with them, eating from garbage heaps and infecting other men by biting and scratching when they tried to chase them away. AIDS was first diagnosed a decade or two (perhaps even as far back as the 1960's)
before it was detected in the United States.

Various AIDS-like symptoms were found in some western-Africans who came to Europe. It has been theorized that the AIDS virus may have come to America through Haiti, because thousands of people took part in a cultural exchange between French-speaking Zaire and the Caribbean Islands.

It may then have been transmitted through homosexual males or IV drug abusers into New York, and then spread rapidly across the U.S., infecting homosexual and drug abusing communities, where the spread of infection has an ideal climate, especially for this type of virus. Bisexual males have since transmitted the virus to their spouses and sexual partners and then women to their unborn children.

It is known that homosexual males and IV drug abusers have the highest statistical spread of the virus, although the percentages are rising in other categories because of bisexual activities and infected p.rostitutes. It is very clear that monogamous relationships and safe s.ex practices would help in curtailing the disease.

That's years old because straight people have now the highest risk of carrying/spreading AIDS, followed by Bisexual and then Gay people.
