With regard to lesbians, bisexual women and HIV remains a lot of ambiguous. Thus, it is unknown how HIV has spread in the community of lesbians. It is anticipated that a small but significant number of lesbians have HIV and that HIV transmission from women to women is possible. In the medical literature described several cases of HIV transmission during sex between women. However, this risk is usually much lower than in sex with men, and monitoring of pairs of women, of whom one is HIV-positive, showed that the possible risk is very low.
Nevertheless, the risk is. Not long ago, was described in detail the case of HIV transmission in a permanent pair of women. Infected with HIV twenty-year woman who knew that her partner HIV-positive, and regularly donate blood tests for HIV. Other partners she had no drugs, she never used. The peculiarity of the case was that the analysis of the virus showed that the two girls were identical strain of the virus. According to the doctors HIV transmission occurred during the sharing imitator, which sometimes remained blood.
The problem is that the very method of keeping statistics on HIV, often leads to incorrect conclusions about the risk for lesbian and bisexual women. If the HIV-positive woman says that she had sex with many women and one man in the statistics would indicate that she was heterosexual. In addition, medical workers usually feel uncomfortable when discussing female homosexuality, they may have sustained Gomorrah prejudices, as a result, they often feel that if a woman HIV, he crossed it from men, either by using drugs.
