A member asked:
Why is it harder for a male to contract hiv from a woman on a 1 time exposure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin: The penis is covered with skin, which can't be infected if it's intact. The woman's vagina is composed of mucous membrane, which can be infected. The risk of female to male transmission is higher in uncircumcised men or men with genital ulcer disease, such as herpes or syphilis.
