This thread started about HIV, and then pivoted to HPV, which has no correlation with male homosexual activities and is primarily a heterosexual spread when any sexual activity is involved at all

Incorrect. HPV is highly prevalent in men who have sex with men, causing anal and throat cancer.
And also highly prevalent in people who have sex with the opposite sex, causing cervical and throat cancer.

In comparison, HIV transmission risk is so disproportionately from men who have sex with men that they might as well revert to first acronym they had. I think we’re mature enough to not be exclusionary.
