Lots of people have become HIV positive from blood transfusions and the sharing of needles. A number of health care workers have also become infected by coming into direct contact with body fluids that contain the HIV virus. Many of these people have never engaged in homosexual acts of any kind.acutus said:Thank you for your reply Mr. Bobistheowl. I have to wonder about the value of attempting to offer various 'theories' about the cause of AIDS when the cause of AIDS is known absolutely, and that is by Homosexual anal intercourse. What 'theory' is going to be presented next?...How about a secret U.S. Military secret weapon gone wrong? The AIDS virus was secretly 'designed' to kill all the people on the planet for some yet unexplained secret reason? Sincerely, Jon .
The HIV virus can be transmitted through a number of bodily fluids. The main reasons why it is frequently transmitted through unprotected anal sex are the variety of fluids that can be exchanged during unprotected anal sex, (semen, blood, urine, feces), the fact that the cell wall in the rectum is very thin, and the fact that small breaks in the skin are common in the act, which allow an exchange of body fluids from one person to another. The virus must enter the bloodstream for a person to become infected.
If the penetrator is infected with HIV, the recipient would be just as likely to become infected, be that person male or female.
