i wonder how many lives would have been saved if from the beginning HIV had been publicly recognized as a disease primarily spread by blood, not sexual fluids. while it is true that much sexual activity involves the exchange of blood and sexual fluid, it is certain the the transmission of HIV is almost always accompanied by one party or the other sharing blood. instead we have focussed on all sexual acts being equal in risk for HIV which is crazy . knowing the political nature of past warnings people now are less inclined to believe other publication of sexual dangers. a loss loss by any measurement all in the protection of homosexual anal sex practices as normal and equal to other sexual practices in danger. for example, heterosexual couples have not been warned of anal sex blood exchange dangers, or dangers of infection due to blood exchange by other STDs. nary a mention that lesbian transmission is almost nil, due to lack of blood exchange in most types of lesbian sex. bad deal all around. all because the truth was not politically acceptable. its the blood stupid!
