http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/01/26/gop-lawmaker-virtually-impossible-to-get-aids-through-heterosexual-sex/Tennessee state Sen. Stacey Campfield (R) falsely claimed on Thursday that it was nearly impossible for someone to contract AIDS through heterosexual contact.
Most people realize that AIDS came from the homosexual community, he told Michelangelo Signorile, who hosts a radio program on SiriusXM OutQ. It was one guy screwing a monkey, if I recall correctly, and then having sex with men. It was an airline pilot, if I recall.

aids is not and has never been a "gay" disease. in this country, gay men merely happened to be among the first victims.
