I highly suggest reading the US center for disease control's reports on HIV:
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/stats/hasrlink.htm
I assume the canadian government has an equivalent report, but this is the one I've read and have posted from.
If you read through the data, what you will find is that, despite what the government has been trying to preach about "anyone can get AIDS":
1. In the US, AIDS is still primarily a disease of gay men and IV drug users. 75% of those diagnosed with HIV in the most recent year they have full statistics for (2001) were gay men or IV drug users (or both).
2. Among heterosexuals in the US, AIDS is mostly a disease of black americans. 70% of the women who came down with HIV in 2001 were black. Only 15% were white, the rest mostly hispanic. The statistics for straight men were similar.
3. AIDS is nearly impossible to catch through oral sex. I base this on the fact that the CDC has no category at all, in any of their tables, for female to female sexual transmission of HIV. Furthermore, some actual statistics on their attempts to find lesbian transmitted HIV:
Through December 1998, 109,000 women were reported with AIDS. They only had data on whether the women had had sex with women in half the cases (this missing data should not effect the results). Of those they had the data on, 2,220 were reported to have had sex with women; however, the vast majority had other risks (such as injection drug use, sex with high-risk men, or receipt of blood or blood products). Of the 347 (out of 2,220) women who were reported to have had sex only with women, 98% also had another risk-- injection drug use in most cases.
In other words, they could only find 7 women, out of 109,000 who came down with AIDS (ok, out of 50,450 if you count the missing data), who claimed to have only had sex with women, no men, and to not be IV drug users or any other such thing.
Furthermore, "Women with AIDS whose only reported risk initially is sex with women are given high priority for follow-up investigation. As of December 1998, none of these investigations had confirmed female-to-female HIV transmission, either because other risks were subsequently identified or because, in a few cases, women declined to be interviewed. A separate study of more than 1 million female blood donors found no HIV-infected women whose only risk was sex with women".
So they haven't been able to confirm a single case of lesbian transmitted HIV, despite there being plenty of lesbians who clearly have it due to IV drug use or sex with men. It's in the lesbian community, but not being passed between them.
Now we know lesbians are performing oral sex, and various extreme (to heterosexuals) acts like fisting on a regular basis. So clearly these acts do not spread HIV.
It is difficult to find the truth out about these things, because for some reason the CDC is determined to spread the "everyone can get AIDS, don't do anything which might possibly be risky" message, to the point where they are simply straight out lying to the public. If they can't find ONE case of lesbian transmitted AIDS, then what the hell are they doing advising everyone to use dental dams when performing oral sex on a woman?
I suggest that this message they're spreading is politically motivated, in this case by a strange coalition of both left and right wing folks. The left wingers want to preach "everyone can get aids" to cover up the fact that it's gay men, drug users, and blacks which are really getting it, so that these groups won't be discriminated against.
The right wingers love the "Everyone can get AIDS" message, because they finally have some really great justification to preach against sex outside marriage. "have any sex outside marriage and you'll probably DIE!"
Meanwhile, you have to wade through pages and pages of statistics to find the buried truth: don't share needles with junkies, use a condom if you're going to have vaginal or anal sex, and you simply will not get AIDS.
A final statistic: number of people in the US who were diagnosed with HIV in 2001 who acquired it through heterosexual contact, 11,600.
Number of people who died in 2001 in the US due to FALLING DOWN: 5,173. (I don't know what sort of falls they were, wasn't specified)
Number of people who died in car accidents: 16,632.
So the AIDS risk of sex, for the average random heterosexual who likely periodically has sex without condoms, is less dangerous than being in a car, but slightly more dangerous than STANDING UP.
I'm going to go get nearer to the ground, so I will no longer face the terrible danger of dying from falling. Also, maybe I'll eat some pussy while I'm down there.
