People are just ignorant when it comes to this stuff. Yes, the majority of people infected with HIV in the united states are either IV drug users or homosexuals, but the percentage of straight men and women that are infected is more then you probably think that it is.
67% of strait men and women living with HIV in the united states got it from a cheating partner. This means that if your wife that decides to bang the pool boy somehow infects you, it was 100% preventable because you should have been using protection. AMIRITE?
Don't be a fool. It can happen to anyone. A girl I went to high-school with got it from her husband because he was regularly cheating on here with gay men. Is it her fault that she was unable to tell that her husband was a closet homosexual that habitually cheated on her with high risk partners?
you kind of made the point... HIV is not transmitted easily through heterosexual sex from female to male... Like most STDs, the reverse (male to female) is far more common. Biology is biology. HIV cases in couples involves a bisexual man.
Only at the cost of extinction of the species through 100% safe-sex and its' resulting non-fertization.
The biggest problem with AIDS is that infected people have little or no symptoms at first (often for YEARS) and yet are passing on the disease. In that regard AIDS is much more difficult to contain than Ebola. The one "saving grace" (ironic as it may seem) about Ebola is the fact that it strikes very fast and that infected people cannot pass on the disease until they are exhibiting symptoms. If it was possible to transmit Ebola before one had symptoms it would be wayyyyyyyyy more dangerous and difficult to control.
Oh I know that. I'm not saying it's not a dangerous disease - it's terrifyingly dangerous, but it would be wayyyyyyyy more so if it was possible to spread disease before symptoms even appear, especially if that period of time was an extended one. Ebola strikes very hard and fast and even though it may appear to be the flu to begin with, it becomes apparent pretty quickly that it's something far different. Ebola is a fast killer - a fact which actually makes it a bit easier to control.

Last time I checked, plenty of heterosexuals engage in anal sex. It's not as if gay men are the only people that do it.
A bisexual husband is the most common scenario, but it is still spread through vaginal sex from a woman to a man at a rate of 1 in 70 during unprotected sex. This means that if a wife is cheating on her husband and gets infected with the virus, she will most likely pass the virus to her husband in less than a year if they have a healthy sex life. That rate of transition significantly increases if her husband has regular anal sex with her or the couple has sex while the woman is menstruating, which is not too uncommon for a married couple.
The sexual activity that most often transmits the virus can't produce children.
Well there's ignorance right there. The majority of sexually-transmitted HIV cases in the world have been through heterosexual intercourse.
But are you suggesting that anyone who contracts HIV through homosexual sex deserves it?

I couldn't find anything that quotes Dr. Drew as having said that.
Many people are attracted to the same sex at some point in their lives. Human sexuality is not simply 100% heterosexual or 100% homosexual. It exists in many forms.
