As Jonathan Meador pointed out, Stacey Campfield continued on his quest to make Tennessee the laughingstock of the nation on Michelangelo Signorile's radio show. I won't go into his bizarre theories about how just hearing about gayness can turn you gay or how a monkey-fucking pilot gave the world AIDS. You can read up on that stuff at the Huffington Post or at MetroPulse or at Knoxviews.

I do want to focus on this part of the interview where he says, "My understanding is that it is virtually — not completely, but virtually — impossible to contract AIDS through heterosexual sex ... very rarely [transmitted]."

This is absolutely wrong. Believing this can get you killed. Spreading this kind of misinformation and having people believe it will get people sick or dead. It is NOT virtually impossible to contract AIDS through heterosexual sex. In fact, it's very easy.
