I Am not at all confused about any of those things. perhaps i have not been able to make you understand what i am trying to say. i will try to explain it again. you think that AIDS is a curse because of the people performing shameful acts ( read sexual acts). I assume you are saying that because people perform Zina, therefore AIDS is sent to punish those people. my point is that people who are into legitimate sexual relationships could get AIDS too. and that does not necessarily have to be through sex. you think that is collateral damage. i think if God is all powerful and all knowing, then he should be punishing only those who have done the said act. also there are many people who keep on doing zina and never get AIDS. other might get it from having sex one time only with an infected person. my point is that AIDS is just one of the diseases that is incurable and one of the methods of its transmission happens to be sex. that is purely conicidental. it does not have to do anything with God punishing people for committing adultery. had that been the case he would have punished every single evil doer. but he does not. which just makes him an unjust Lord. he is not doing justice in this case, because he might let go a criminal and punish another innocent.

Sexual promiscuity is itself the curse, the STDs are merely the effects in many cases, rather the spread of disease in this manner is a sign of the truth of Islamic prophecy and those who get the STDs are better off than those who do not. Because verily their punishment will be reduced whereas those who continue in their sexual promiscuity will never get a warning in this life and will get their full repayment in the Hereafter.
If there was no consequence of sexual promiscuity social or biological then we as a human race would be far more promiscuous.
