Although a major means of transmission, infection through male homosexual intercourse is not the only route of transmission. What about unprotected heterosexual transmission, contamination of early polio vaccines, contaminated blood transfusions and factor VIII taken by haemophiliacs, contaminated needles used by drug abusers, needlestick injuries amongst healthcare workers, reuse of syringes and needles in the third world, etc., etc.

I thought we were a decade past this simplistic, and prejudiced, view.

Peace
