The morality or otherwise of sex between consenting adults of any gender - or indeed any number of participants - is only peripherally relevant to the subject of disease in general and HIV in particular; especially since condoms have a proven track record of protecting against STDs.
As for this god being outside of nature: fine, so it can be safely ignored as it exists outside our reality. On the other hand, if it is supposed to have any effect whatsoever on our reality, then that effect must be detectable and measurable by definition. This puts it squarely in the realm of science, which examines events that exist in our reality and dissects them to discover the mechanism behind them. However, you want to eat your cake and have it too by staking claim to both sides of the argument. That is not a rational position to take.
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. Condoms are not the issue here, the physical and mental health of people is the issue. 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. God is outside of nature but He does interact with man, an example the commandment I've be quoting. It is true and for mans own good, for some reason I want mention people just ignore it and suffer on. Just because you refuse to recognize that God is working in our lives does not mean He's not.
*Sigh* the story for aids (take it for what it is worth), started by an african man EATING a dead monkey (bushmeat) who had the virus. This was passed through heterosexual sex, and is largely considered a hetersexual disease in Africa. It spread to America and eventually all over the world.
No god in any of that.
