Today many more straight people than gays have HIV/AIDS.
In the early days of AIDS, the disease spread faster among gay people, which is why it became known as a gay disease, but today that is no longer the case.
The anus/rectum is very susceptible to cuts and tears while conducting anal sex. This means there is a greater chance for infected body fluids to enter the blood stream. Sexuality has no direct influence in the prevalence of HIV/AIDS, it is the practices concerned with the sexuality.
The main factors in why HIV transmission is higher in the MSM category are the following:
Simply because the disease was first noted among gay communities, leading people who dislike homosexuals to refer to it as "the gay plague," in some cases because they believed it to be a punishment inflicted on those whose lifestyles they believe to be in some way wrong or ungodly. Medicine became aware very early on that AIDS could be spread just as easily amongst heterosexuals, but to this day large numbers of ill-informed people believe it to be confined to homosexuals.
Anyone can contract the HIV virus, not just gay men. However, unprotected anal sex is the type of sex where the virus is most easily spread whether it be between 2 men or man and woman.
In the 1980's HIV spread faster among the gay population because of cultural differences in dating. Today, the majority of people with HIV are heterosexual.
Straight people get AIDS and HIV much more often than gay people.
HIV and AIDS is a virus and is not caused by anyone's sexuality.
No. Worldwide, MANY more heterosexuals have HIV and AIDS than gay people.
More Heterosexuals have AIDS than gay people do.
Gay people are said to get AIDS faster than straight people because they are thought to change sexual partners more often; so a gay person can get aids as easily as a straight person if they change sexual partners with same frequency.
The majority of people with AIDS and HIV are straight.
AIDS does not have the ability to make one feel pregnant. It is only sickness. Gay people and bisexuals are just like any Heterosexual person and do not wish for the life threatening disease, AIDS. More straight people than gay people have AIDS, due to unprotected sexual intercourse or touching AIDs infected blood with an open cut upon the skin.
Gay individuals are at a higher risk for certain STDs, including HIV/AIDS, due to various factors like stigma, limited access to healthcare, and riskier sexual behaviors. However, not all gay people have higher rates of STDs and AIDS; rather, it is about higher risk factors within certain populations. It's important to promote inclusive sexual health education, access to healthcare, and destigmatization to address these health disparities.
No. Black people turned gay and created aids in Africa
They don't. AIDS and HIV are caused by a virus.
Only a minority of gay people have AIDS. AIDS is a disease EVERYONE has to worry about. AIDS is NOT a gay disease. Women can pass it on to women, men can give it to women, men can give it to men. Sex is NOT the only way to transmit the disease. It doesn't matter if you're straight, gay, bi, lesbian, transgendered, WHATEVER. YOU are still at risk for AIDS.
gay black people with aids
No. Only a minority of gay men have AIDS.
No. This is a common stereotype that isn't true at all. The majority of people with AIDS are straight. The people with the most AIDs are unfortunately innocent poverty-stricken children in the continent of Africa.
