Answer
# Brief Explanations:
In Africa, the AIDS - virus was mainly spread through heterosexual contact, yet it was wrongly stigmatized as a homosexual disease. The WHO program in 1987 did not immediately lead to a decrease in new infections. It's an over - generalization to say most African leaders believed HIV does not cause AIDS. And there is no evidence to suggest newly developed drugs did not work on African AIDS patients as a main reason for the spread.
# Answer:
A. It was primarily transmitted by heterosexual contact but was stigmatized as a homosexual disease
