A woman is a lot less likely to spread the infection than a man is which means that every woman in the chain slows down the spread of the infection when compared to men infecting each other. What this results in is that certain preferences and behaviour greatly multiplies the risk if infection.



Women may not spread it as much except through needle sharing, but their colons are no different from men's (or so I think).

Also, condoms do work. If we had been able to figure that out earlier than it was done, it may not have been quite so bad in the 80's. But it took until 1985, 5 years, to get that figured out thanks to almost no funding at all at the time.

This has been great, but we should probably just stop here.

Just use condoms at least if you are prone to any kind of loose behavior.

Even though I showed no symptoms until 1999, I had to have been infected in 1983, long before we knew condoms were preventative. Thanks to Protease Inhibitors that were invented in 1995, I was able to go on those, and am essentially leading a normal, healthy life.

But unlike all those whom I did lose over the years, I'm not sure why I got to be the one who is a "30 Year Survivor".

Edit: I can only educate from what I know from my own experience in this.

Yes but once she has it. The probability of her spreading it is a lot less likely. Even if she has unprotected sex.

Probability again. HIV has a much harder time to make the transition from a woman to a man than vice versa. However from one man to another the spread is very rapid because they are both likely to infect others and to be infected themselves. On top of that men (when given the option) are often more sexually active than women and are also more likely to have multiple partners.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

The point is they are not safe just because they are women.

Again you are on the binary 1 or 0 scale. No one is safe. But there are degrees of risk and some groups are are at higher risk than others.

Yes you keep saying that but you do but you do it parallel to continuing the debate. As in "Here's my argument but do not address it because it's time to stop"

I am locking this topic as it has veered widely off topic and has ventured into territory that is already producing violations.
