#3 I don't think the conservatives in the US were very effective at all. The rump of the radical left was however. They spread the idea that it was not a gay lifestyle problem and thus avoided the closing of the bathhouses for a long time. THat did not help.

I mean if there ever was a straightforward disease and solution available this was it. If you're gonna do *it* use protection. If you're infected only romp with other infected people and it would have burned out fairly quick. but noooooooo.

#5 IIRC, there was a court decision some years ago in the US declaring that AIDS was not a sexually transmitted disease. This was important (to gays) because if AIDS were an STD, existing laws would require people with AIDS to reveal their sexual partners, just as people with syphilis or gonorrhea are. Since most AIDS sufferers are gay, exposing their list of sexual partners would subject those partners to discrimination.
