Homosexuality & AIDS

[magicjack8]

I have asked this before, but I didn't really get a clear answer.

I know Gays get AIDS through Anal sex, but i'm not sure how it all works. Do homosexuals have to have sex (unprotected) with MORE than one person to get AIDS? Or can a homosexual get AIDS only by having unprotected sex ONCE? Do homosexuals only get AIDS from someone who already has HIV/AIDS or can a homosexual still get AIDS even if the other person doesn't have it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to begin by saying that you don't have to be gay to get AIDS. Having said that, I'll answer your questions.

1. Having sex with someone that has AIDS is all it takes to get it.

2. Yes.

3. A person has to have AIDS in order to transmit it to someone else. It doesn't just pop out of nowhere.

It's a myth that only homosexuals get AIDS. Thinking like that hsould be left in the ignorance of the 80's.

I know that heterosexuals can get it, I just asked the questions HOMOSEXUAL SPECIFIC. Thanks for your answers.

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is obtained by contact of bodily fluids, and you don't necessarily have to have sex with an infected person to acquire the infection yourself. It can be transmitted via blood (treating someone with the infection who has an injury such as an open, bleeding wound, or an unscreened blood transfusion) or needles (this is how drug user's back in the 70's and still today obtained the infection).
Anyone can get AIDS, even children, if there mother's had it (acquired when the fetus is still in the uterus via the bloodstream). Homosexuals can get AIDS by having unprotected anal sex, yes, but they ARE NOT the only ones who get it and ARE NOT the cause of it.
