Far, far from it. Gay and bisexual men comprise only 3% to 8% of the entire number of men on Earth.
Many gay people start out trying to live a heterosexual lifestyle. They don't "turn gay" after they are married. Either they decide that they don't want to live a lie, or they reach a point where they accept that they have always been gay. Nobody can make anyone else gay.
It is difficult to determine an exact ratio as sexual orientation is a spectrum and can vary across populations. However, research suggests that approximately 3-10% of men identify as gay.
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.

yes. A man can be gay all his life and never contract HIV/AIDS. Most gay men I know do not have HIV. However, a person should be tested once a year for HIV if they are sexually active regardless of sexual orientation or race/social economical status. Knowledge is power! Get tested.

He is now deceased, but yes he was gay. He is known for his activism for equality and rights for gay men.

No.HIV it is more spread-ed to heterosexuals than homosexuals
No. If neither partner has the HIV virus, then neither one can get AIDS. AIDS is caused when HIV has gotten to far along. In order for you to get AIDS, you have to have blood to blood contact with someone that is HIV positive.
military or non military has no bearing on HIV. unprotected sexual exposure is what CAN lead to HIV.................'Straight' men and women are just as likely to contract HIV as bi-sexual or 'gay' men. In the U.S. around 30% of HIV infections are caused by female-to-male sexual contact. If you tested positive, you'll be ok. It's highly treatable, though not yet curable.
