Can homosexual orientation lead to acquisition of HIV infection?
No. Mere homosexual orientation itself will not give HIV infection. Only when it is practiced with an infected person without condom there is the chance of getting HIV, such as having anal sex without condoms. The risks of sexually transmitting HIV between lesbian women are very low. Very few women are known to have passed HIV on to other women sexually. Oral sex is low risk- but there is increased risk if woman has cuts or sores on her mouth, or her partner receiving oral sex has sores on her genitals or is having her periods.
