Some have only ever had 1 partner. Some have never had a partner. Some are children infected by tainted blood.
Bottom line? We all have to be careful. Being gay or straight has almost nothing to do with it.

We do all need to be careful, but I think the point that was trying to be made is that the gay population needs to be much
more careful. Being gay puts you at a much higher risk of contracting HIV because, like you said, "it is prevalent in the gay male community". You you were correct in saying, "Being gay or straight has
almost nothing to do with it."
