Why is it that you guys have a hard time understanding something so simple. AIDS was first spread by sexual contact, no matter how it came to be in man if everyone had keep God's commandment of sex only between a man and his wife Aids would have soon died out.
First of all I'm not a plural; as far as I'm aware there is only me sitting here at this keyboard typing these replies to you. Unless you have information about my situation to which I am not privy, I would appreciate you keeping your condesencion to yourself. Thank you.
HIV/AIDS is a virus spread by exposure to infected human bodily fluids including blood and semen. Yes, sexual contact is one method by which it is spread but it's not the only one. You cannot say categorically that it was first spread via sexual contact as you simply cannot know this. Research has indicated that the virus migrated to humans from African simian species, specifically the white-collared monkey and chimpanzee. The disease endemic to those species is probably at least 32,000 years old (altogether now: Happy Birthday to you...) Given that humans have lived closely alongside such simians, not to mention hunting them, for a considerable percentage of that time, trans-species migration of diseases of any kind is sort of inevitable and it doesn't require them all to be rampant monkey-fuckers.
Once the virus had jumped across to our species, it makes little difference whether people go around bonking each other senseless or keep it in their pants until some bloke in a dress gives them permission to do it.

You pointed out that children die of Aids but failed to point out why, it's the irresponsibility of people to not take precautions, so what good were condoms to those dead children.
I do not play both sides of the fence, it's those who chance their lives with sex outside of marriage. If everyone down through the ages had obeyed God's commandment not to have sex outside of marriage there would be no sexually transmitted diseases and no horrible deaths and there would be peace of mind.
Actually, I pointed out that children can be (and are) born pre-infected with the virus to women who themselves have contracted it. That is the 'why' for their dying that you failed to see me point out. What good would condoms have been to those children? Well, they would have prevented their being born into a life in which the best they could hope for is an untimely and horrible death but that wasn't even what I was talking about. Somehow I don't think it's worth even bothering to explain to someone who has stated, for all to see, that condoms and health are seperate issues.

This is such pure and unadulderated bollocks it's giving me headache trying to think down to this level. If god interacts with humans then such interactions must be observable and measurable, or at the very least detectable; otherwise you have no rational foundation for making the statement at all.

And just because you keep making this claim doesn't mean it's true. It's up to you and your fellows to prove it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
