Well, you are still being dishonest because (a) the "male-to-male
sexual contact" catagory includes more than just homosexuals and
(b) nobody knows if people in  "male-to-male sexual contact AND
IV drug use catagory" got it from sex or from drug use (specifically,
what the percentages are).

As I said, there is really no reason for you to lie about it (your
70% BTW, required some round-up with worst-case assumptions).

Why not just admit what the actual numbers are?  That isn't asking
a lot from you.
