A member asked:

Does someone need to hiv to transmit it to someone else or is it automatically the result of homosexual intercourse.

A golden rule...: It is said that a person cannot give to others what he himself does not have. That is a golden rule when talking about contagious viruses (like HIV), bacteria, parasites, and other tiny undesirables. A golden rule applies regardless of whether a person is asexual, homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, or trisexual.
