When AIDS first reared it's ugly head in the US and other non-third world countries, it wasnt immediately known what caused it. Later, it was the "gay disease". 20 years later some people still beleive that. 20 years later, some people still have unprotected sex.
In 1982, I sat in a biology lecture hall in college, hearing about this awful disease called AIDS, and you got it from sex. Well, at least gay men got it from sex, they never came right out and said it, but it was implied. We weren't gay, we were immune. 20 years later we know so much more and people still think they are immune.
