Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Receptive anal intercourse is considered the highest risk behavior for HIV transmission, regardless of gender. This is because the rectal tissues are more delicate and likely to tear during intercourse, allowing for the virus to enter the bloodstream. Unprotected vaginal intercourse and unprotected receptive fellatio are also considered high risk activities, but are generally considered less risky than receptive anal intercourse. Same-sex sexual activity is not inherently risky for HIV transmission, but certain activities like anal sex can increase the risk.
