True, but populations where AIDS is MOST prevalent are not homosexual populations; they are populations which engage in rampant unprotected sex. Look at the epidemic proportion of AIDS in west Africa and many other third-world areas. More than 95 people of ALL people infected live in developing countries. Even in North America Women, not homosexual men, are the the largest growing population of infected. Women accounted for 7% of cases in 1985; that raised to 30% in 2000. The racial trends have also reversed themselves: intially caucasians accounted for most cases (60% in 1987) but now Blacks and Hispanics do (61% in 2000).
