That was not my point. My point was that normal sex among homosexual men is far more risky, with respect to HIV transmission, than normal sex (including oral sex) among heterosexuals, to the tune of something like 20% for the former compared to one tenth of one percent for the latter. What is *your* point? That HIV is not just a pro- blem of homosexual lifestyle? A disease that spreads in the human population predominantly by anal intercourse? How could it not be?
