Sure thing. Some of that Qweerty article in the earlier link is some shitty journalism and reflective of bad science reporting. When AIDs was hitting the gay community, some of my friends were denying it even existed and were suggesting it was a big government conspiracy to stop gay sex and the gay lifestyle. A current friend still doesn't believe in HIV / AIDs. Some really dumb dumb shit. Larry Kramer was one of the leading gay political activists during that time that was trying to bring some sanity to the situation in the early 1980s by talking some shit to elected officials in New York City (Ed Koch and others) and saying some things the gay community didn't want to hear.
