Can lesbian women get the HIV virus?

Answer 1

Yes, but usually with more difficulty.
To have a chance of getting AIDS,
you need to exchange body fluids (exception: saliva) with an infected.
Even a tongue kiss can theoretically infect you,
though saliva inhibits the HIV-virus somewhat.
But if you have some micro-wounds in your mouth (or throat) and kiss with
an infected who's got a bit of blood in his saliva, there's a chance.
Basically, the more direct and violent sexual contact is,
the more likely you'll be infected.
Of course you can't be infected if the other one isn't.

Answer 2

Yes. Anyone, regardless of sexual preference, can become infected with HIV. Any body fluids or blood that may be exchanged can increase the risks of contacting HIV/AIDS, but one must already have the virus in order for another person to catch it via intimate activity.

Answer 3

AIDS can be transmitted other ways than sexual intercourse. AIDS is a syndrome -- a description of an effect. The agent is HIV (Human ImmunoVirus). HIV is a blood-born pathogen, and can therefore be communicated to anyone via a blood-to-blood contact. While HIV has been found in quite a few bodily fluids, it only seems to transmit via blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk, with blood being the major mode of infection in humans, in vivo.

Answer 4

Any living person can get HIV.

Lesbians can get HIV through shared needle use as well as though sex. It can be transmitted by lesbian sex, and lesbians often times have straight sex. Many are actually married to males.
Yes, lesbians can get HIV. But only from: * a blood transfusion that was not screened properly * a dirty needle that was not sterilised properly * having sex with a man without a condom Read this link: * http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_is_HIV_transmitted
