Re-read my post. The hearsay remark was not directed at YOU, but at faulty information. Regarding your question of why I brought up the Gay Community as an excellent source of info on AIDS, and the fact that they do education classes for all orientations, all human beings, is that I read your post which contained: (and I quote from you):
"The politically correct crowd at Planned Parenthood and Gay rights organizations have suppressed this information, and continue to tell the public that you can be as sexually promiscuous as you like and everything will be fine, as long as you practice 'safe sex' "
Having had many classes on, and direct work with people with AIDS over a period of years, I am aware of exactly what that community teaches and how updated, informative and practical they are about safER sex issues, prevention and treatment as well as about the HIV disease, the latest criteria for diagnosing AIDS, routes of transmission, routes with very small rate of transmission etc. The information I have is based on professional fact. I thought it might be of interest to you since you were speaking about the subject. Or at least a valuable resource to anyone wanting to find more factual information on the disease and various available treatments and support groups.
