The category “STD” is not helpful when it comes to significantly different ways of transmission. I invite you to look up the risk of transmission of the HI virus via anal vs. vaginal sex and draw your conclusions from that.
Nevertheless, as I was pointing out, my hearsay experience was N=2, I am inclined to say “not a myth”.
First times I heard about prominent people dying from it were Rock Hudson and Freddy Mercury. 2x gay men. N=2 says yes.
Weird. Since it’s a STD, you’d think straight people fuck too.
But they’ll more frequently use condoms just to prevent pregnancy so that alone will weigh in the stats a bit.
