And not one word about gay men!

How ignorant and insulting! An entire discussion "about HIV" (excerpt from Debates of the Legislative Assembly), and not a mention of "gay" or "homosexual". "Pregnant women", sure, "Injection drug users", sure. But gay men don't even exist. The closest they get is this quote, "...the disease to begin to make its way more into
heterosexual populations from where it began and become
a disease that any part of society may face". "From where it began"! Heterosexual populations are obviously the main concern even though the vast majority of infections are in gay men. You do the math.
