Richie, calling it the"gay disease" is old and prejudiced thinking. HIV is just a disease. And like other diseases, it spreads. In some countries it just happened to spread first among the gay male population. In other parts of the world (like Africa) it happened to spread first among the heterosexual population, and it has stayed that way ever since.
