For example, I don't know need to do 10 minutes of paperwork and consent to test for gonorrhea. But for HIV I do. (a disincentive to test in the name of privacy and rights).
If we were truly interested in stopping this disease we would treat this like an epidemic outbreak. Public health would contact partners and test them.

Yes but these deviations in exercise of police power are not the results of homophobia but instead the result of gay rights. Gay rights were paranoid about treatment of the disease as any other disease so they robbed the state of its traditional police power, thereby creating a path of ignorance. So in the end, it was not paranoia by the Chiristian crowd but by the gay crowd that led to its spread.
I don't see where people get this gay paranoia belief that AIDS has not been aggressively treated. Now whether we've tried to solve all of Africa's problems is another matter. There are many African problems we've ignored and will continue to ignore, but it's not the result of homophobia, but the result of not enough money being available.
