As for whites being less inclined to contract the AIDs virus, this is true to a point. AIDs does show traits of the black plague. From past accounts and current research scientist have found that both viruses affect the immune system in the same way. When the plague hit europe aprox. 500yrs ago(not too worried about the date) some people were not aflicted by the virus. A study on the virus has tracked those who are decendants of surviving plague persons and studied their genes. scientists have shown that ,from the exposure to the plague, those exposed developed a gene making it less likely to contract the virus. Scientist hope to find a way to duplicate this gene and increase it's effectiveness in order to prevent the contraction of the AIDs virus.

AIDs has been often confused to be soley a homosexual virus. AIDs can be spread threw the exchange of needles and blood as well as sexual intercourse. Homosexuals, especially men, have a higher chance to contract it being the fluids are exposed much easier. Homosexual females have a lower chance of contracting the virus as womens fluids are exposed less and penitration is less likely. Heterosexual couples are almost at an equal stance with homosexual men. No specific group or party is soley responsible for the spread of the virus. Our ignorance of its existance was the issue. If we would've been aware of AIDs we would have taken more care to contain it.
