(Have you ever tasted a dental dam? Bleech....) HIV is typically spread by virus-laden semen entering through mucous membrane tears. In the vast majority of cases this occurs during anal sex among homosexual males. Women can contract HIV the same way, but are a "dead-end" for obvious reasons. They can be given the virus, and on rare occasions it can turn up in tiny amounts in vaginal swabs, saliva, and corneal impressions, but as non-semen producers women are non-vectors. It's an extremely poor etiological come-back, Karen. > Rat -- swamp
