But you have overlooked one key issue.  The people at an AIDS conference may
not be there because they are in a high risk category.  Actually, I suppose
there would be more people at an AIDS conference that say "Gee, I'm a doctor
and I wonder if I touch a tongue depressor used on an AIDS ridden patient, 
will I get AIDS?" than would say "Yeah, I am a practicing homosexual who is
worried about getting a disease."  In fact I doubt if the stereotypical AIDS
carrier/victim(?) {male homosexual with 100's of sex partners} even CARES 
about how high of a risk he is of getting AIDS.  Of course, how many AIDS 
patients are stereotypical?

DISCLAIMER:  I have tried to place none of my personal opinions about the
morality of homosexuality in this posting.  If you want my opinion you can
ask via mail.  You don't?  Nah, I didn't think so.  I also am aware that the
program is supposedly to ask questions as if you are at risk of getting AIDS
via sexual/drug practices, etc.  Flames to this acct via email if you must,
or if you want public observance of YOUR opinions followup to 
misc.newsgroup.aids   (whatever is the one most appropriate).
