- CNN strikes me as having good intentions but annoyingly careless at times.
- They like to put AIDS stories and homosexual stories back to back. Also,
- once they showed a chart of the main transmission routes for HIV. It
- looked something like this:
-
- X% Homosexual intercourse
- Y% Intravenous drug use
- Z% Heterosexual sex with infected partner
-
- I still haven't figured out the special qualification that heterosexuals
- must have an infected partner. Does "infected partner" imply someone
- from the other two categories (supporting the notion of "innocent" and
- "not innocent") or are they implying that homosexuals can get HIV from
- a non-infected partner?
