the reaction was very condescending.

When this broke in the 80's we had an enormous push from the left to make it a non-gay disease. The red ribbons at all TV events became a real turn off.

AIDS has become, like racial discrimination, a subject where you are not allowed to mention that "the Emperor has no clothes." When I got ticked off and said what I thought, I became a "knuckle dragger."

This PC works very well for the left.

How did they think the disease was spread? Were they still thinking about blood transfusions?

You were precisely correct with respect to the US. Here, AIDS is a disease affecting primarily male homosexuals and IV drug users. In Africa heterosexual transmission is a huge problem. That meeting didn't take place in Africa, by any chance? In that case they would be right... :)
