Try tens of millions of people in Africa. This is an extremely bigoted comment. As a gay man, I am disappointed that HN is allowing viewpoints like this to be spread. This sort of thing is why the tech industry has such a bad reputation with these topics.

I'm open to seeing the HIV stats of heterosexual VS homosexual African data. Can you link it?

Try google. This information is easily available.

Such info isn't at all hard to find. It's a quick google away. It is also common knowledge that heterosexual transmission is high in some parts of Africa.

Here's a couple of pieces I found in short order:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8420583

Except the first one requires a subscription, and the second one talks about heterosexual, not homosexual transmission.

Looks more US-centric than bigoted to me. You are disappointed HN allows statistics gathered by the CDC to be spread?
