>>213423723 (OP)Despite the fact that it's not very contagious and you really have to go out or your way (or be very unlucky/stupid) to get it, certain populations routinely engage in exactly the behaviors which allow it to spread because they can't help themselves: dumb gays, dumb heterosexual Africans (both groups have a hard time wearing rubbers although some American gays have gotten a bit smarter about this in the intervening years), dumb hard drug users and so on. White/affluent gays are a bit smarter about the basics these days but blacks and browns still keep it spreading and circulating. And then there's the odd white fag who, again, can't help himself.
It is difficult to think of any other virus which more efficiently punishes stupid, harmful, and obviously incorrect behaviors. The behaviors of being black, having gay "sex", or taking hard drugs.
>>213423903Not really, just a few horror stories here and there. The most famous example is Kevin Peter Hall, the very heterosexual black athelete fellow who played the original Predator. He had the terrible luck to receive a tainted blood transfusion, and this killed him shortly after Predator 2 was released. There have been other horror story cases along the same lines (sometimes killing children), but the moral panic around the disease itself and these sorts of famous cases got the culture to treat blood as a very dangerous substance much more quickly.
