Straight men have lower hiv/aids rates than gay men and drug users

Straight men have lower hiv/aids rates than gay men and drug users?
i know this is true, but where can i find more information showing data of how many hiv/aids cases were attributed to heterosexual sex ONLY?

I would look at some peer reviewed research articles online. Just type in the subject you are interested in into a data base. There are so many of them (libraries, university libraries). This way you can back up your statement with actual research....
3 :
Most gay men don't use condoms during anal sex.The anus is a very fragile and a tender area that can easily rip increasing the chances of infection in gay men. But I strongly believe that it is a matter of using a condom rather than sexual preference.

Why dont intentional exposure laws include other std's besides HIV/AIDS

Why dont intentional exposure laws include other std's besides HIV/AIDS?
Most states have laws in place that make it a felony to expose someone to their HIV infection without first notifying their partner of the risk. Why don't these laws make it a crime to expose others to infections like Chlamydia, Herpes, and HPV? Wouldn't it help to dispel the stigma that is associated with HIV? Since people are five times more likely to catch HIV when they have an STD, wouldn't this also help bring down the rates of all STD's including HIV? Just wanna add this one detail...HPV can cause cancer and be a silent killer. Other STD's can also cause infertility. HIV is now treatable though not curable and these STD's can increase a persons chances of contracting HIV. I just think that we need to do something to send a strong message to those people who know they are infected with whatever continuing to spread their misery.

Because they aren't as deadly.

There is much deliberation in the law if wilfully infecting a person with HIV is also punishable under manslaughter. However, i think it is the fact that HIV can kill you that makes it so serious in the eyes of the law.

I'm sorry... I lol'ed at this question... she has HIV "apparently"?? Was this something you found out in casual conversation? Anywho... no, don't worry. You CANNOT get HIV from any of the methods you describe. Saliva does contain HIV but not in sufficient quantities to infect you. The only way that could happen is if there was blood. Did she have any open sores in her mouth? Did you have any open sores in your mouth? If not, you're OK. If it makes you feel better you could have an HIV test in 3 months, but I assure you it's entirely unnecessary.

dude dont worry about you cant get it just from making out with her only if you mix blood or had sex so your cool dont be scared.
4 :
I doubt you caught it from her, but just so you can calm down get an HIV test to make sure
5 :
Not one chance in a billion.
6 :
There is zero chance you could have contracted HIV from your friend. First, HIV is not transmitted by sharing objects such as cups, drinks, and cigarettes. Second, there is absolutely no evidence that kissing, in the absence of seriously bleeding cuts in both partners' mouths, can result in HIV transmission. In fact, there has never been a documented case of HIV transmission from kissing. You're perfectly fine, so you can stop worrying now.

What does "apparently" mean? When I was a teenager, lots of stupid ass dumbly retarded kids would spread rumors about other kids having AIDS/HIV, and it was never true, nor was it EVER funny. Just because someone said the girl has HIV does NOT mean that it's true. Besides, at your age, you should know better than to ask this question. You should have been told a bazillion times by now that you can't get HIV that way. You know you can only get HIV through transmission of sexual fluids, or through blood. Come on, now.
