Summary: 

I'm sorry Ken, your statement that AIDS is 'homosexually vectored' is 
somewhat imprecise.  AIDS is transmitted through the intermingling of
blood supply as might happen with transfusion.  I suspect we had all
better hope that the current level of research on AIDS is funded or else
hope to blazes that we never have a serious accident or have to have
major surgery.  YOUR assertions notwithstanding, AIDS is a potentially
serious problem to the entire population; straight, gay or even abstinent.

Frighten me?  You bet.  Your smug assurance of your own safety frightens
me more, however.
