Actually although there are a lot of gay people infected they are not the
majority of infections
True facts
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/factsheets/us.htm
//CDC estimates that MSM account for just 2% of the U.S. population, but
accounted for 61% of all new HIV infections in 2009. MSM accounted for 49%
of people living with HIV infection in 2008 (the most recent year national
prevalence data are available). \\
If 49% of infections are MSM (note, not homosexuals but MSM) then 51 % are
heterosexuals, meaning more than half are heterosexuals, so how can this be
a homosexual disease?
NB THIS IS FROM THE CDC

Of course there is more.

As of Dec. 31, 2009, the state rate for HIV and AIDS was 284.2 per every
100,000 residents, according to the Massachusetts Department of Public
Health. New Bedford's rate was nearly twice that, at 523.6, but
significantly lower than Boston's with 906.2.
New Bedford's data for new HIV diagnoses from 2006-08 showed that 47 percent
were females. At 34 percent, heterosexual sex or "presumed heterosexual sex"
ranked higher than male-to-male sex or injection drug use in causing new
infections for that period of time.

The world, showing up to 90% of all HIV infections are heterosexual.

//70 percent of all new HIV infections are a result of heterosexual sex;
worldwide, 90 percent of all infections are heterosexual. Women are
especially susceptible to heterosexual transmission physically because the
mucosal lining of the vagina offers a large surface area to be exposed to
HIV-infected seminal fluid.\\
