In the 1400s and 1600s, the Black Plague, Black Death, Bubonic Plague, killed 30% of the population in central and northern Europe, including the English Island and Scandinavia.

Today, descendants of those geographic areas have some of the lowest HIV+ infection rates. (Baring deliberate disregard for risky transmission methods: unprotected receptive anal intercourse, and/or IV drug injection, with or without the co-factors of illicit drug use).

"European" does not include: African, Asian, Polynesian, Russian, Indigenous American - North and South, and others.

So it really doesn't matter too much if the African-American is str8, or bi, or gay or on the down low, AIDS is the Plague my ancestors survived in Europe, that Africa did not have.
