This is an overly simplistic, optimistic view of disease. Method of exposure matters significantly. Note how heterosexual couples virtually never have to worry about HIV, for example, if you're unfamiliar with this concept.

Please elaborate if you have the opportunity.

How many strictly heterosexual couples have been infected with HIV in the history of mankind? I'm aware there must be some due to IV drug abuse.
