A member asked:
Could women transmit aids to man?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Most hiv-infected men in the world got HIV from women. That's not true in the U.S., but globally it's primarily a heterosexual disease. Factors that increase the risk of female-to-male transmission include lack of circumcision, genital ulcers, and possibly HIV subtype.
