That's what I was thinking. Getting it through incidental contact is possible but how is that incidental contact only between men (0 of 528 study subjects were women). It does seem like the outliers might be closeted men.
On a tangential note, another way to get this virus is to be a child apparently. As you might expect, it still boils down to contact with gay or bisexual (gay but in closet) men so not a new vector of spread. Here is an article about something like that:
Any cases of children getting it need to be investigated to ensure the reason they got it wasn't abuse. And in a non-dysfunctional society it would be. However I would not be surprised if authorities in certain parts of the country would opt not to investigate just to not appear homophobic.

Exactly. "How dare you question whether a child was molested just because the only way to get this disease is through sexual contact!!"
