- Single Partner Deviate Sex and Contracting AIDS
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- QUESTION: Starting with two consenting adults, who are absolutely free of
- any disease. If these two decide to start practicing all forms of deviate
- sex, and never have any other partners, is it possible for one, or both to
- contract AIDS? The reason for stressing some of the words above, is to give a
- clinical and controlled aspect to the question.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ANSWER: Good try! Providing that all the specifications of your question
- are, and remain absolutely true, and within the restrictions of present
- knowledge available about AIDS, there is absolutely no chance of either of
- these partners to contract AIDS. Caution: they can not be I.V. drug abusers
- who exchange needles with infected individuals, and we are assuming they will
- not be exposed to the virus through blood transfusions of contaminated blood.
- There are few absolutes in medicine, but one of the principles that is quite
- certain is that you can't catch an infectious disease if you don't come into
- contact with the infecting germ or virus.
