The Heterosexual HIV Myth?

"Has the Left’s agenda spawned lies about AIDS that have caused the needless infection and deaths of millions? To discuss this question and other issues related to the politics and science of HIV and AIDS, Frontpage Symposium has assembled a distinguished panel of experts."

I don't really know what to make of this. According to a panel of experts, heterosexuals practicing vaginal intercourse are not at significant risk for HIV. Supposedly, it's almost exclusively transmitted by i.v. drug use and anal intercourse. HIV is transmitted when there isn't significant protection from transmission, like skin or vaginal tissue. Apparently the membranes in the colon allow for large molecules to enter the body, such as nutrients or HIV.
I don't know if it's true or not, but these guys present a pretty compelling argument.
