Therefore the 20% is a guess or a hunch at best.

Not a guess:
To get these numbers, CDC teams visited bars, dance clubs, and other venues frequented by gay and bisexual men in the 21 cities. They interviewed 8,153 self-identified gay and bisexual men who agreed to undergo HIV testing.
The findings:
19% of the men tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
28% of black, 18% of Hispanic, and 16% of white men tested positive for HIV.
44% of the men who tested positive for HIV had been unaware of their infection.
59% of black, 46% of Hispanic, and 26% of white men who tested positive for HIV were unaware of their infection.
63% of the HIV-positive men age 18-29 were unaware of their infection.

Portland, about 18 miles from here is one of the cities. It's a big old gay town.
This study, the best one I could find in your favor says that married gay men may contract AIDS 13% less than their un-partnered counterparts. Most of the other studies say it's a wash. The best studies from the Netherlands (legal gay marriage since the early 90's) say gay marriage didn't do shit about disease.

What that tells you is what John McCain said: Gay marriage is a farce.
Not "just another lifestyle choice". A plague. A concentrated petri dish for STD's. 20 years off the average male lifespan on average. The reason almost no one at age 60 claims to be a homosexual is that they're dead.
The truth without civil rights bullshit.
