| − | This article is incredibly biased and needs to be re-written. Conservative, your comment is absolutely, blatantly false. If it were true that AIDS affected only the gay community, then how is it possible that AIDS is a major problem in some African countries where homosexuality is at best illegal? An estimated 2-5% of Mauritania's population has AIDS, and Mauritania enforces the death penalty for homosexuality. It's quite a stretch to say that even 2% of the population (71828 of an estimated 3,591,400 based on the 2010 census) is a closet homosexual in an Islamic country where one could be killed for being gay.

| − | I'll cover the issues with this article now by section.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I. "It was discovered (and given its original name) by a doctor who himself was a homosexual, so any notion of the name being intended to demean or stigmatise (rather than to help) is ill-formed" .. Really? It's quite obviously called a gay disease for those exact reasons: to demean those with AIDS or to stigmatise them.

| |
| − | "PPNG first appeared in the Philippines among a sexually active core group of prostitutes and servicemen in and around U.S. military bases where many women habitually took black market penicillin as a prophylactic treatment" .. Then we aren't dealing with lesbian women if they're prostitutes servicing US servicemen, are we? Non sequitur and irrelevant.

| − | II. "Common sexual practices among gay men lead to numerous STDs and physical injuries, some of which are virtually unknown in the heterosexual population. Lesbians are also at higher risk for STDs" .. Physical injuries are only sustained during anal intercourse if it is done wrong. If you want to claim that numerous STDs are virtually unknown in the heterosexual population, you better have a ton of research to back it up. Citation. Needed.

| − | "It is common for some people who self-identify as lesbians to actually be bisexuals. Dr. John Diggs reported: "Australian investigators reported that lesbian women were 4.5 times more likely to have had more than 50 lifetime male partners than heterosexual women (9 percent of lesbians versus 2 percent of heterosexual women); and 93 percent of women who identified themselves as lesbian reported a history of sex with men."[2] It was further reported concerning self reported "lesbians": "In addition to diseases that may be transmitted during lesbian sex, a study at an Australian STD clinic found that lesbians were three to four times more likely than heterosexual women to have sex with men who were high-risk for HIV." .. Almost entirely irrelevant.

| − | III. The entire third section is biased. Enough said. "We know how to limit their spread, but many Gay men have died as a result of political suppression of scientific medicine" .. This is possible the most intellectually insulting thing I have read to date on this site.

| − | IV. Citations. Your citations are literally rubbish. Citation number three literally cites citation number two, which cites catholiceducation.org . How incredibly biased. Four citations, only three of which count, one of which cites a biased Catholic site, another cites "War on Intimacy" (probably far right fundamentalist if I had to guess based on the title of the web page), and the last of which cites a paper that's easily 24 years old and not current. This is abysmal. Horrifying. Heaven forbid we have current, relevant, non-biased sources of information.
