Best Answer

If you have anal sex with a partner who has Aids or if you have oral sex the HIV virus that causes Aids can be transmitted to you.

....same way you get it if you were having sexual intercourse with a straight person the exchange of bodily fluids without using protection. but you dont have to worry about drinking after someone with the disease my mother has it and i feel perfectly fine drinking after her.

Gay people, like other people, get HIV by having sex with another person who is HIV infected. People also get it by sharing needles used for injecting illegal drugs.

The notion that HIV is a gay disease is just a stereotype. Anyone who has sex or shares needles with someone who has HIV or AIDS can get it, regardless of their sexual orientation.

The easiest way to get an std is through anal sex because the anus tears very easily therefore receiving more bacteria and being more open to disease. Because it is anal sex people tend to connect it as gay

Same way as anyone else, through Unprotected Sex, contact with infected bodily fluids onto an open wound, or contaminated blood transfusions.

Aids is transmitted via contaminated bodily fluids from someone WITH AIDS to someone without Aids. The fluids must have an entry point into the body.
