Yeah, and unfortunately STDs are a much bigger deal among us than them (although that might be a numbers issue). There were years during the AIDS pandemic that more people died from making love than making war iirc.

I do think people tend to think too broadly about evolutionary factors. It’s likely a very small amount of factors that drive the changes. Current humans definitely seem to be most susceptible to health issues so that’s probably a huge driver in general. It may not always seem that way but things are generally peaceful enough to procreate. Unfortunately being smart ceased to be a key factor a few society models ago also.
