Any type of fluid exchange can transfer the HIV virus.

thats how the 'gay' aids started.

Duh...AIDS is most popular with gay people.
4 :
homosexual or heterosexual... you can still contract hiv/aids thru unprotected sexual contact. bodily fluids such as vaginal/penis secreations, blood, and such can carry the diseases and when they come into contact with an individual always have a chance of giving that person the diseases.
5 :
Yes you can.
6 :
Yes! HIV infection is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. You can get HIV from contact with infected blood, semen, or vaginal fluids. * Most people get the virus by having unprotected sex with someone who has HIV. * Another common way of getting the virus is by sharing drug needles with someone who is infected with HIV. * The virus can also be passed from a mother to her baby during pregnancy, birth, or breast-feeding. HIV doesn't survive well outside the body. So it cannot be spread by casual contact such as kissing or sharing drinking glasses with an infected person.

AIDS is NOT a "gay" person disease! It is a disease that affects EVERYONE! Men who engage in anal sex can tear or rip the anal cavity in which case there will be fluid exchange between the blood from the tear and the semen. Another way is through oral sex. Yes, you CAN get AIDS from oral sex. Even if you do not swallow. Pratice safe sex EACH AND EVERY time!

You can only get hiv from someone who is already infected. If there were 2 gay males and they were to have intercourse as long as both are hiv free there is no chance of getting it. Just being gay dose'nt mean you will chance getting it
9 :
You can get HIV from any partner that is HIV+ male or female. For male to male sex, unprotected anal is one of the highest risk, but that would be the same risk for a female that did the same thing. So unprotected sex with a partner that you do not know their HIV status is a risk.
