Transmission of this problem is not related to sexual orientation. It is related to sexual activity. Gay or straight, if you engage in the activities that spread this, you will have an increased risk of getting it.

It's easy to get many STDs from unprotected anal sex ("barebacking") because the tissue is so absorptive (Why do you think there are suppository medications?) and easy to tear. Anal sex (whether the recipient is male or female) is more dangerous than vaginal sex and oral sex is statistically far less dangerous (though not totally safe). Unprotected sexual activity isn't wise unless you're both STD-free, but they sometimes take months after an encounter to manifest. HIV is spreading quickly in Africa and Asia (including India) throughout mostly heterosexual populations. In the US, however, HIV is part of gay culture and safe sex is being strongly promoted.

I would think the odds would be the same. Disease is no respecter of person.

The mere question makes me annoyed because it tends to cause people to think that it makes a difference if you're gay or straight. We already have enough bible thumpers touting misinformation. If you have unprotected sex, gay, bi or straight you're at risk.
-
Those practicing sexual acts that have greater risk of HIV exposure are more probable to become infected.
-
Yes for both.

HIV is an equal opertunity killer. It's all in your use of condoms, the sex acts you preform, the number of casual partners, and your type of drug use. It's actually easier for gay males and straight females to get it do to the fact they are the recievers and the membranes get torn or abrated during sex allowing the virus to enter the body easier.
-
Anyone can get HiV it has little to do with sexual orientation. It has to do with education and safe sex . Not running around. In fact the instance has been rising amongst heterosexuals and drug users, and going down amongst homosexuals
-
I don't think either group has an "advantage" there.
-
It depends on how often people engage in intercourse.
-
It's not whether your gay or straight, it's what you do, how often and with whom.
-
It's got nothing to do with your sexual orientation. It's about how sexually active you are and how safe you are when you do it.

The acid in a vagina is not conducive to HIV to survive well, and it does not get torn up and bleed during regular sexual intercourse, but it is never easy to find out you have it I would guess. One time I was watching a doctor speak to congress, and she asked them why they lie to the American people by not telling them it is vertually impossible (1 chance in a million) to contract HIV during regular heterosexual intercourse. So, there you go.

Thanks for this question, it's something I've wondered before. This is because I've given Blood here in the UK and the questions they ask seem to indicate that sex between two men is dangerous. The questions can be found on their website: http://www.blood.co.uk/. Question 12: Are you a man who has ever had oral or anal sex with another man? (Even if you used a condom) Question 16: Have you ever had sex during the last 12 months with a man who has had oral or anal sex with another man? Answering yes to either of these questions automatically excludes you from being able to give blood, yet heterosexual protected sex is fine... in fact I don't think they even ask about other forms of sex or protection you used during it :S

There is alot of misinformation on here !! People please do yourselves a favor and learn a little more about HIV. Regardless of what anyone has said there is no cure for AIDS. An average of 15 people still die everyday here in the U.S. HIV is a very tricky virus and it can only be transmitted by unprotected sex, and blood. When people are sharing needles, that is a much more certain way of transmitting the virus. It makes no difference in regards to your sexual orientation. The main thing is get tested, regardless. The old guidelines and beliefs were years ago that it could take a year or more after exposure to turn up, that has changed, if you think you may have been exposed get tested the sooner you do the more you can do to protect yourself, and your partner. There are alot of new drugs that can help than in the past, but there is no cure, the sooner you know, and can take care of yourself the better your chances are of living a longer healthier life. Two pretty good websites are below. http://www.thebody.com/ http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hiv-aids/DS00005

It's easiest for people who do not use condoms to get HIV.
