No. This is a common stereotype that isn't true at all. The majority of people with AIDS are straight. The people with the most AIDs are unfortunately innocent poverty-stricken children in the continent of Africa.
The majority of people with AIDS and HIV are straight.
No. Worldwide, MANY more heterosexuals have HIV and AIDS than gay people.
Gay people are said to get AIDS faster than straight people because they are thought to change sexual partners more often; so a gay person can get aids as easily as a straight person if they change sexual partners with same frequency.
AIDS is a diagnosis given to people with advanced HIV infection, not a contagious disease. White gay men are infected with HIV at alarming rates, many times that of the general population. Men who have sex with men are the highest risk population for HIV infection in the United States.
NO, HIV can cause AIDS if it is not treated in time.
No. HIV is the only cause of AIDS.
HIV is an infection that LEADS to AIDS. So, most likely, people with HIV are very likely to get AIDS.
The possibility of spreading AIDS is no different for gay people than it is for straight people. If the infected bodily fluids of one person get inside another person's body, the virus can be transmitted. The two main ways of spreading the HIV virus that causes AIDS are:unprotected sex (straight or gay)sharing of syringes
Breastmilk can contain HIV. HIV can cause AIDS.
HIV (Human Immunodefiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.) When people first started exhibiting symptoms of HIV and AIDS, doctors and scientists had no idea what was causing the infection. Many people who were experiencing the symptoms were MSM (Men who have Sex with Men.) Before the terms HIV and AIDS were created, GRIDS was used. GRIDS means: Gay Related Immune Deficiency Syndrome. The term was discontinued shortly after its coining because HIV/AIDS obviously infects many people who aren't gay. The term GRIDS was dropped when scientists developed the AIDS classification. HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, was not discovered until years later.
There is no set type or person who gets HIV. Everyone and anyone are open to HIV transmission, under the right conditions. Currently, more straight (hetrosexual) people in the world have HIV then gay (homosexual) people. (Fact as of March 2010)
