While all of this money is being spent on a preventable sexually transmitted disease, others who live moral lives are suffering.
From the CDC website concerning just the rates in the US:
Since the epidemic began, almost 85,000 persons with an AIDS diagnosis, infected through heterosexual sex, have died, included an estimated 4,003 in 20103.
New HIV infections among women are primarily attributed to heterosexual contact (84% in 2010) or injection drug use (16% in 2010). Women accounted for 20% of estimated new HIV infections in 2010 and 24% of those living with HIV infection in 20091, 2. The 9,500 new infections among women in 2010 reflect a significant 21% decrease from the 12,000 new infections that occurred among this group in 20082.
Injection drug users represented 8% of new HIV infections in 2010 and 16% of those living with HIV in 20091, 2.
Since the epidemic began, nearly 182,000 injection drug users with an AIDS diagnosis have died, including an estimated 4,218 in 2013.
So there are many people who do not engage in homosexual sex who are infected with the disease. Would you deny them a cure?
As I've shown many times before throughout this 3 part thread, the only people that have been effected by HIV/AIDS that partake in heterosex are black women who had sex with black males who were on the "down low" (bisexual males who didn't tell their female sex partner that they partake in buggery). There are risks to out of wedlock sex (especially if you sleep with a fag).
Regarding needle using junkies that have contracted HIV/AIDS:
I guess using recreational drugs isn't a "victimless crime" after all ey?
While the CDC has good information, they like the American Psychological Association and American Psychiatric Association have gone politically correct and have taken the side of evil in this on-going culture war:
Gay and Bisexual Men's Health
Homophobia, stigma, and discrimination persist in the United States and negatively affect the health and well-being of gay, bisexual, other men who have sex with men (MSM), and other members of the LGBT community. Homophobia, stigma, and discrimination are social determinants of health that can affect physical and mental health, whether MSM seek and are able to obtain health services, and the quality of the services they receive. Such barriers to health need to be addressed at different levels of society, such as health care settings, work places, and schools in order to increase opportunities for improving the health of MSM.
Homophobia and stigma persist in the United States even though acceptance of same-sex relationships has been steadily increasing. For example, a Gallup pollExternal Web Site Icon conducted in May 2010 found that more than half (52%) of Americans believed that gay and lesbian relationships were acceptable. Forty-three percent of Americans believed that gay and lesbian relationships are not morally acceptable.

Our friend Peter LaBarbera at Americans For Truth About Homosexuality shows how the CDC has funded homosexual groups:
With the incidence of HIV among men so closely tied to homosexual sex, shouldn’t the government and all concerned and compassionate adults be urging young men and teenaged boys NOT to engage in or experiment with dangerous homosexual behavior? And yet, the CDC and other pro-”gay” institutions (including many schools public and private) are doing exactly the opposite, as they focus instead on affirming “gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender” youth as a “sexual minority.”
Feds Fund ‘Gay’ Youth Activist Groups
Another CDC document, “HIV and Young Men Who Have Sex with Men” (June 2012), reports that in 2011, the CDC awarded funds to two homosexual activists groups — the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and the Gay-Straight Alliance Network (GSAN) — “to assist CDC-funded public health and environmental changes to help schools and communities meet the health and medical needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth.” See this CNSNews article on the CDC grant.

The vast majority of lung cancer patients are smokers. Many who suffer from Type II diabetes are their because of poor diet choices. By your rationale, work on treatments and cures for these diseases should be stopped since their diseases were caused in large part by their behavior.
(Sigh, yet another homosexualist that attempts to compare his filthy disease ridden behavior with those that use tobacco products and have a bad diet).
I addressed that those who partake in homosexual behavior disproportionately smoke cigarettes and are overweight in a thread started by the Doper:

Boy DR, as if dying from AIDS wasn't bad enough, you have to worry about lung cancer and heart attacks.
That is not how medicince or science should work. They are to seek to help people not judge them. Disease is not predicated on morality or ethics. It just simply is. It rains down on both the just and the unjust.
Yet if we returned to righteous laws, these poor lost souls that engage in homosex would be getting the help that they so desperately need and not spending taxpayer money trying to find a cure for something that throughout history is a disease ridden behavior.
