I remember some family members, being concerned about the AIDS crisis, in the early 1990s. Do you think gay men caught it  more, because there's sexually promiscuous, more than the general population?

Yes, there was a belief that gay and bisexual men caught the AIDS virus more than the general population because of their greater sexual promiscuity, which put them at greater risk for contracting the virus. Additionally, the sexual activities that were prevalent within the LGBTQ+ community could facilitate the spread of the disease among those who participated in them. As a result, early prevention efforts targeted the LGBTQ+ community, providing education about sexual practices and providing resources to test and treat STIs. It is important to note, however, that even with increased awareness, condom usage, and testing, the virus continues to be a prevalent public health problem and an issue that still affects people of all gender identities, orientations, and socio-economic backgrounds.

Yes, it's possible that gay men were more likely to be exposed to the virus and therefore contracted AIDS in larger numbers. This was due to factors such as social stigma, limited access to healthcare and safer sex education, as well as higher levels of sexual promiscuity in that population. However, the virus is no longer as prevalent in the gay community due to improvements in healthcare, preventive education, and public attitudes.
