°AIDS is a threat to everyone, not just the homosexual community. It's amazing how few people know that simple fact. Also, AIDS can not be transmitted through sharing utensils, public restrooms and kissing. (Only one reported case of AIDS has been transmitted through kissing, and both parties had sores in their mouths. That CAN spread AIDS). You can only get AIDS if there is a sore / cut in your body that their body fluid could enter. That's why it's not a given that AIDS can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. It's more common in the gay community because during anal sex, condoms are rarely used and tearing occurs very commonly in the anus during intercourse.
