That’s the other thing, the risk, even for men having anal intercourse with an HIV+ man, is still significantly less than say, your birth control pill failing. But you actually have options if you’re pregnant (although limited in most places), plus there is a significant chance you’ll miscarry because lots of…

You represent the nadir of the human race, lacking empathy or sympathy. You hang like a vulture on a pole at the side of the road waiting for your next meat to scavenge.

And since all of what you say, at least immediately above, is accurate (more difficult transmission, more women seroconvert than men from het sex, less risk associated with vag sex) why do you come off sounding like a douche throughout all of your comments?

I’ve got it. It’s likely because you’re “e x t r e m e l y”…

This like saying how come rich people get drunk driving tickets/accidents? If I were rich, I would have a chauffeur wherever I went. Yet rich people are still getting in trouble all the time for driving under the influence.

Yes, and please people, stop thinking you need to have a cut or open sore to contract HIV. OMG, didn’t anyone take middle school health? HIV is transmitted through mucus membranes (in addition to cuts, sores).

Vaginal intercourse is absolutely a high risk route of infection. I’m kind of shocked anyone still thinks this isn’t a near surefire way to get HIV.
