Unlike some other sexually transmitted diseases, the transmission of aids requires a significant viral load to be transmitted to the person infected.

The reason aids is not normally transmitted from a female to a male is that body fluids are not generally transfered from the female to the male in significant quantiles through sex, just as they are not in more casual contact like kissing.

To illustrate this; there are roughly 250,000 street walkers in NYC. Over 1/2 of them are infected with HIV. Assume they each do 10 tricks a night with heterosexual males (each who also has sex with a wife or girlfriend).

You can see that this would spread through the heterosexual population like wildfire. As many as many as a quarter of a million new heterosexual infections a day. The fact is, it doesn't happen. Most aids cases in the U.S. involve queers and IV drug users.

The bad news is that women having unprotected sex are vulnerable, as well as the children they give birth to.

The good news is that it will never be an epidemic in the heterosexual population.

If on any given night, 60% of New York City men were having sex with prostitutes? "Wildfire" would be too meek a term.
