I think heterosexual women who have sex with men with AIDS are more likely to get it than vice versa.

I mean, female to female transmission of AIDS is pretty much non-existent, except for intravenous drug users.

Seventy five percent of women with AIDS got it from heterosexual sex, 25 percent from intravenous drug use.

Still, according to the CDC, 33% of men get AIDS from heterosexual sex, 25% from intravenous drug use and 42% from homosexual sex.

40,000 new people with AIDS in the US every year, 70% men, 30% women.

That's enough to get my attention.
