Question about HIV...?



Hey im having the hardest time with this..can anyone help me out a bit.
Place these sexual activities from low risk to high risk for contracting HIV/AIDS when lowest risk is (1) and highest risk is (11). (Terms are a mixture of scientific terms, romantic terms, and street terms -- as you will most likely come across all of these language types while working with the general population).

oral sex

. mutual masturbation

. coitus as insertive partner

coitus as receptive partner

holding hands

-. anal sex

"french" kissing

- golden shower

making love while using a condom

. frottage
hugging

1. holding hands
2. hugging
3. frottage (rubbing genitals against another person's body)
4.mutual masturbation

(all no risk, although MM could be a theoretical risk, depending on what happens to any ejaculate).

5. Golden shower (theoretical risk but no reports of transmission)
6. French kissing (one "possible" case identified but negligible risk)
7. oral sex (very occasional cases reported, mainly receptive oral sex with ejaculation, and possible co presence of other infections such as gonorrhoea)

8. vaginal or anal sex using a condom (minimal risk if condom remains intact, possible risk if it doesn't)


9. insertive vaginal sex
10. receptive vaginal sex
11. anal sex, especially receptive

(the last three all thoroughly documented modes of HIV transmission).
What's frottage?

I would put them in this order...assuming you had them numbered from 1-11.

4
3
6
1
2
7
9
8
10
5
11

I still don't know what frottage is.
Read the World's largest studies on sexual transmission and decide for yourself.....

The 10-year Padian study observed sexually active
couples in which one partner was HIV positive. The result: in 10 years, not one uninfected partner contracted HIV, even though all participants admitted to having sex without condoms. The study states, 'We followed up 175 HIV-discordant couples over time, for a total of approximately 282 couple-years of follow up. The longest duration of follow-up was 12 visits (6 years).

We observed no seroconversion [infection] after entry into the study."

In the three-year Stewart study (1985) not one male partner of HIV-positive women contracted HIV. Prostitution is not even listed as an HIV risk category by the CDC, because of the extremely low incidence of HIV transmission to clients who have no other risk factors (i.e. drug abuse).

These findings bolster the hypothesis of some AIDS scientists that chronic malnutrition and other environmental factors, and not a sexually-transmitted virus, are the causes of weakened immunity in people diagnosed with one of the nearly 30 AIDS-defining diseases (which vary from country to country).





ORAL SEX

Page-Shafer is a researcher at the Center for AIDS Prevention at the University of California, San Francisco. At the 2004 World AIDS Conference, she presented data from a study of 400 men whose only form of sexual behavior was receiving oral sex. Despite little condom use with multiple partners -- including partners known to be infected with HIV -- none of the men came down with HIV infection.

"We had zero infections over 1,493 person-years of exposure to oral receptive sex," Page-Shafer tells WebMD. "This doesn't mean there aren't factors that contribute to easier HIV transmission by oral sex. It does happen. But data confirm it is a pretty rare occurrence."

Sex And HIV: Behaviour-Change Trial Shows No Link
The East African (Nairobi)

A UK funded trial aimed at reducing the spread of Aids in Uganda by modifying sexual behaviour appears to have had little discernible effect.


The trial, carried out on around 15,000 people in the Masaka region, involved distributing condoms, treating around 12,000 victims of sexually transmitted diseases and counselling.

However, while the trial led to a marked change in sexual behavioural patterns, with the proportion reporting causal sexual partners falling from around 35 per cent to 15 per cent, there was no noticeable fall in the number of new cases of HIV infection, although there was a significant reduction in sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhoea.

The trial results, which were reported in the British medical journal The Lancet, have already aroused some controversy.

The team leader of the trial, Dr Anatoli Kamalai, acknowledged that there was "no measurable reduction" in HIV incidence with "no hint of even a small effect."
