Was ripe for

Does "the disease was ripe for stigmatisation" mean "AIDS provided a good justification for three different types of condemnations and disapprovals: 1..., 2... and 3..."?

Context:

As others have observed, AIDS did indeed arrive at a time ‘when the New Right were mixing a potent brew of religion and familialism, when feminism and lesbian and gay rights were under attack, when welfare facilities were facing an unprecedented attack’. In other words, the disease was ripe for stigmatisation on a number of fronts, feeding prejudice against homosexuality, disapproval of sexual freedom and experimentation and fuelling deeply held attitudes towards sexually transmitted disease as shameful (Art and Advertising by Joan Gibbons).
