Vaginal sex does not transmit AIDs effectively. It is so ineffective that if there were no gay sex or shooting up there would be no AIDs epidemic.

Most Hetero AIDs transmission involves an infected male (who got it from gay sex or drugs) and a clean fem. Men give AIDs to people. Women, in general, do not. (Although it is true that it CAN happen.) There are many documented cases of infected women NOT giving AIDs to their partners even though they had active sex lives. (They got it from transfusions.)

Most of the stuff about hetero transmission is political. The gay lobby is powerful and they don't like the stigma of AIDs being a "gay disease."

I got all this information from a doctor who was the head of my state's health department. He was a good friend of my then-new girlfriend, and he told her "if he's not a drug user and he's not bi, don't worry about it."

I don't think this applies to people who are extremely promiscuous, but that's just my opinion. That woman was wise to insist on a condom.

I also think it's true that you CAN catch AIDs from hetero sex, but it's like crossing the street: you take some risk with everything.

Don't know if it's true, but I've read that in Africa they use anal as birth control, and THAT is why AIDs is so common there.
