Some Christians say AIDS is God’s punishment on homosexuals, but they never apply this disease-as-punishment idea universally. Why isn’t Mad Cow Disease evidence for Hinduism? Why isn’t there a disease you can only get from raping little kids? Why does living near a lot of mosquitoes mean you deserve to be exposed to malaria, encephalitis, and West Nile virus?
It's a similar situation with most religious morality; forever picking and choosing as and when it suits them. In my eyes, AIDS being a punishment to the gay community is just another feeble excuse for an argument - perhaps just a controversial statement to cause a hype...
