The difference is that rights are curtailed for criminal behaviour, not for civil, private conduct. Furthermore, your implication that it is homosexual activity that causes AIDS is so far-fetched as to be unreasonable. Furthermore, irresponsible transmission of the disease (or any other STD) is as much a hetero problem as a homosexual one. Although you dislike this assertion and keep boggling up the numbers to reject it, it remains the fact that transmission does not care whether the sexes involved are the same or opposite. Yet you have no conscience about allowing hetero transmission to continue uncontrolled.   

ANd using such dubious reasoning to support the treatment of a natural class of people as a set of social criminals reflects poorly on your respect for actual Nature, as opposed to the Victorian impression of it you may have inherited.
