It just seems that if pubic hair follicle transmission of HIV were possible, there would many more female-male cases, many more cases of heterosexual transmission, and even casual transmission during sports, hair cutting - after all if pubic follicles transmit the virus, why not body hair or head hair follicles? Why not more inexplicable infections?

I tried my own search before I asked - couldn’t find anything. Even tried PubMed. Why would the CDC keep it quiet?

Write to them in Atlanta and ask them. If they write back with ANYTHING, you will note that one of their own theories was that men with axillary inflammations due to things like ‘jock itch’ (usually, yeast infection/inflammation by another name) were more susceptible.
