Why does it matter if the disease is sexually transmitted?
[/ QUOTE ]
Because if it is sexually transmitted, one can choose not to be exposed to it (or choose not to spread it); unlike, for example, a disease that may be caught by someone coughing in one's face.

I guess I still don't get it. Lets say we could give everyone a vaccine against HIV, that was 100% effective and had no side effects, but you was only effective it if you gave it to infants. We shouldn't use it?
