The transmission of HIV occurs when a person is exposed to HIV+ body fluid. In order to transmit infection, the fluid must come in fluid-to-fluid contact (blood-to-blood) or with a mucuous membrane. During vaginal sex, the woman is exposed to semen, however a female's vaginal fluid does not necessarily penetrate the intact skin of the male. Among sexual behaviors, HIV is least likely to be past from a female to a male through heterosexual vaginal intercourse.
