I wasnt necessarily saying that you were 'wrong' youre argument stated pretty much that they are the only ways of getting it, i.e. being gay, doing drugs or sleeping around. I am rebuttling your blatant ignorance to the fact that there are many other ways from getting AIDS, and btw, gay or straight, youre still at risk.
FYI loser YOU CANT GET AIDS FROM SALIVA, so if someone stole soem of your food while you werent looking, stab them in the eye, but dont go and get tested for AIDS. I never specified that 'you were wrong' I todl you to get your facts right. Your arument is flawed and you failed to point out those points, the fact that there are other ways of trasmitting diseases.
"Basically unless its AIDS, STDs arent that big of a deal, and you wont get AIDS if you are straight and not a junkie or sleeping with people who are junkies."
INVALID ^^^ for my above reasons, they may be 'unlikely' senarios but they are other senarios compared to your 'these are the only way' senarios and btw there is more than a 1% chance.
Ofcourse, you have about a 9/10 chance of getting AIDS if you are given a blood transfusion with infected blood.[its actually the highest chance of getting AIDS out of anything] How can you account for the fact that 81% of AIDS victims are homosexual or drug users? Ofcourse you are still "at risk" you are just at 1/5 the risk of those groups.
The saliva example was purpsefully shitty, i was pointing out how you are bringing up highly unlikely scenarios. If that person had mouth ulcers or had just brushed their teeth there is a good chance there is a small amount of blood in their saliva. This example is so unlikely there has probably been only 1 person ever to get infected in this way.
from wiki
HIV has been found at low concentrations in the saliva, tears and urine of infected individuals, but there are no recorded cases of infection by these secretions and the potential risk of transmission is negligible
low chance of transmition, but all it takes is one HIV cell[or atleast thats how you would argue it]
INVALID ^^^ for my above reasons, they may be 'unlikely' senarios but they are other senarios compared to your 'these are the only way' senarios and btw there is more than a 1% chance.
i wasnt saying they are the only way, i was saying in the vast vast majority this is how it is transmited. The chance would be much much lower than 1%. The most common way of transmition globally is unprotected vaginal sex and theres only a .3% chance of transmition even then.
Even if this is the case its not ONLY gay people that get AIDS. Jarrods point was that ONLY gay people get AIDS. my point is that straight people can get AIDS too.
Also I was making the point that you dont have to sleep around or be junkies, there are other ways, and that he is wrong about his 'only' ways of getting them.
Straw man. I never said only gay people get aids, i just said that most of the time its they who carry it[81% again... i have no idea how you suddenly thought 81% meant only homosexuals when really it implies 19% of the time its hetrosexual]

7000 people a year are diagnosed with AIDS each year and over 5000 people die of AIDS each year
I dont care about other countries, like a gajillion blacks in africa are diagnosed with AIDS every day, this doesnt relate to me because iam white and i live in australia. The figures i saw for australia were more like 1000 people total get AIDS every year[about 160 of whom are straight non junkie males], considering it is a terminal disease its not surprising that 1000 people would also die from it each year assuming the figures were stable.
heres a slogan for everyone
"AIDS - who cares. Go worry about something you might actually die from, like heart disease"
