Of the known transmission routes for heterosexual victims, hypodermics
used in common by intravenous drug users and hetero prostitutes whose
boyfriends are IV drug users or Haitians seem to be the major routes.
There seems to be quite a few AIDS and ARC (AIDS Related  Complex)
cases among Haitians, despite the absurd political move of removing
Haitians from the list of risk groups.

Heterosexual cases may now constitute the majority of AIDS victims in 
France. African cases are nearly all heterosexual. AIDS isn't a disease
originating among, or primarily spread by, gay men.  There have been bi-
sexual cases of AIDS for years now, but they lack the "missing link"
significance you imply.
