This is off topic, but, actually AIDS is still primarily spread by gay men in the U.S.

Of the new HIV diagnoses in 2018, 69% were men who have sex with men, 24% were heterosexuals, 7% were people who inject drugs.
It's hard to determine whether there are more homosexual men than there are IV addicts. At this point, good habits (such as condom use) can make homosexuality far safer than it used to be. IV drug use seems to be as dangerous as ever.
