No
As long as we are debating the relative value of a totally unworkable but perhaps-true-in-the-abstract-if-you-ignore-half-the-facts kind of solution, let me offer up an alternative.
All these bacteria and viruses should just abstain from infecting us. This one is actually more workable from the viewpoint you seem to be holding, because these little critters don't have the "free will" that we were cursed with, so they might actually obey a command from their creator. We won't.
Or how about if we abstain from contact with other human beings altogether and make our babies in sterile labs? That one has a very good chance of actually working in the real world in a limited population. It's not in the Bible though, so you don't feel any need to try and sell it to us under these false pretenses.
The primary method used in say Africa and Haiti for these purposes is the Islamic & Catholic respectively version of your same abstinence-from-abominations solution above. And that's where these diseases develop and spread from!

still No
the vast majority of aids infections are MSM
No, false-to-form and false-to-fact. The reason it looks that way historically in the US is because our Carrier 0 was an incredibly promiscuous gay male flight attendant.
The vast majority of infections worldwide are females engaging in heterosexual activity, with males engaging in the receiving side of anal sex as a distant second. The same is true of statistical incidence of new infections currently even in the US. The reason the penetrated have a greater chance of getting it is because the vast majority of genetic material is travelling to them rather than from them.
A fairly common situation during the transition (google Atlanta +AIDS) is the apparently faithful husband who is actually gay, has to be covert about it, gets infected from receiving anal sex, carries it home to his innocent wife and passes it on to her. The guys he lets do him are much less likely to get it from him than the women he does though.
There's your comparison in a nutshell, it is safer for a man to boofoo someone than it is for a woman to accept her husband.

Re: General Reply
How are you going to instantly stop all rape, buz?
Weren't you reading along? He's going to stone them to death!
I don't understand why you guys keep getting off topic! You keep talking about different views on fornication, sodomy, adultery, and the spread of disease. None of those things are in the OP are they?
Please, comply with the rules of the forum and go out and get some rocks and kill everyone who disagrees with Buz's sexual rules right now without any further logical arguments, or this topic might get closed
Come on Buz, seriously, what kind of medical advice includes throwing rocks at people but considers disease vectors irrelevant? You are the one who made this thread what it is, the only thing you would consider on topic is absolute agreement, that devalues the topic rules entirely and once the rules have no value no one feels a need to obey them. Why should they? So long as we are off-topic anyway, we might as well talk about Nipponese hookers and their soul-mates, at least they are relevant to our contemporary lives, Leviticus was repealed in Mark and again in Acts even for literalist believers with shallow Western ideas about religion.
Which brings me to my real point, the whole soul-mates thing is derived from reincarnation and not easily understood by the West for this reason. A soul-mate isn't just some superlative for romantic love, it's a whole different thing. Soul-mates are people who care for one another so much that they are willing to come back as husband and wife, parent and child, brother and sister, master and slave, or victim and killer, so long as they get to be together as the most important person in each other's life.
