wrong its that anal sex itself has a higher risk of blood transfusion than other types because the anal lining is more susceptible to damage... your tirade on gay promiscuity and promiscuity in general was not needed

If a gay guy is HIV negative, and he's in a monogamous relationship with another guy, also HIV negative, they can have all the anal sex they want, they won't get infected with HIV. HIV doesn't just magically appear when you have anal sex. It's also been scientifically proven that the more sexual partners one has (especially one night stands with strangers), the more likely that person is to get infected with an STD at some point. Promiscuity really is the main reason why AIDS was/is so prevalent withing the gay male community, as opposed to the heterosexual community, or the lesbian community - the least promiscuous group (insert joke about lesbians not having any sex).

i think both promiscuity and anal sex are very important factors in terms of how much AIDs has spread

Promiscuity by far is the most important factor. Having any kind of sex with an infected person is dangerous, and the only reason people wind up having sex with infected persons is because they're promiscuous and have one night stands with people they don't know. Very very few people would knowingly have sex with someone who is infected, but when you're drunk and pick up some guy from a bar, 'when were you last tested from HIV' isn't going to find it's way into the conversation (if there even is any kind of conversation). Gay guys have to learn to be more responsible.
