The transmission through heterosexual sex has always been tenuous at best, and overblown.
I've personally cared for hundreds of HIV + patients and not one of them has contracted the disease through heterosexual behavior.
I had a patient tell me spontaneously that he had Hepatitis C and that he contracted it through the use of dirty needles, i shook the guys hand and told him it was refreshing to have a patient be honest about how he contracted Hep C, everyone claims they caught the virus through heterosexual contact, another fake transmission vector.
PSA, if you have Hep C, there's a 99.99% chance you got it from IV drug abuse or anal sex..., we know you're lying.
Wow...
The ignornace and bias in this post is amazing.
Here's a hint: If a disease can be spread through anal sex, it can be spread through vaginal sex. With HIV and HCV the ONLY difference is the frequency in which the tissues are damaged and a direct route to the blood stream is opened. Vaginal sex trasmissions in healthy, uninjured people are rare, but add injury or another STD like Herpes that exposes the virus to a direct route to the blood stream and vaginal sex trasmission rates skyrocket.
I've worked in HIV+ outreaches for nearly 20 years, and have known MANY people who contracted the disease through heterosexual sex. People with no history of IV drug use or homosexal contact.
Of course, you'll just claim they're lying...
