Nobody pushed the issue, and the fact of the matter is that the highest section of the population with AIDS is straight black men... not gays.  It's a medicine thing, not a buttsex thing.  Africa is hit pretty bad because people there have been convinced by the church that if they have been circumcised and given their life to Jesus, that they're safe... which isn't the case at all.  So they continue spreading it around.

Only a Troll would bring up AIDS being a "gay disease", and only a dishonest one would hide behind terms like "MSM" and pretend their figures weren't manufactured by those with an agenda.

Also Heph, good point about Syphilis et al.  We're playing a game with a medieval feel.  AIDS wasn't around until the late 20th century.  And before proper medicine... getting the clap was deadly!

Yep, bacterial infections were pretty damn serious back before antibiotics and proper sanitation.
